very informative review, i will skip the nx-p and get the EV-30.

Hi, why do you need a tape input? Wouldn’t an ordinary input with a tape output to your recorder be all you need? The tape output is already line level.

Good day Sir! I’m so happy I found a video that demos Pipe in Xk5 and I’m trying to explore how it works with a lot of questions tied with it. I only have the Upper Manual for my Xk5 with 13note MIDI Pedal and wondering how does it work? I hope u know how it works and hope u can help me through it. Looking forward to it already! Thank u in advance!

Thank you for this video! The pipe organ sounds on the XK5 are just amazing!

Thanks you ! Your vidéo is the lonely one one youtube about this subject. A precious thing with so much details about farfisa sounds

I have been searching for this song for 30 years! I heard it when I was 13 years old and have never forgotten it. What is called, who wrote it?

I also wish that the pipe organ stops would change volumes as you pull the drawbars out, I do know that you can change them (in the sk organs) by program but being able to do it live would be great. Pedal sustain also would be good.

I've always wondered about your tabletop stand. Thanks for posting. Wow, his stands are beautiful...just checked his site.

Arturia's Farfisa V is quite excellent, so there's some tough competition. But a Hammond should basically sound like a Hammond (and it does)

Besides the Vox Continental, which was expensive, the later Vox Jaguar was less expensive. The Jaguar had great tone, but not much variety.

Do a video on the Farfisa organ also. Any Japanese cheesy organs also? Lowery?

What's the song you play at the 2:48 mark?

Decen arrangement and wonderful setup! I like that sound too!

Show us your jury-rigged sheet music stand. All modern Hammonds have no sheet music stands.

Can it do theater pipe organ sounds?

Love the demonstration! Thank you.

Thank you for the tip regarding the 32 vs the 25 key pedal board.

Ae fond kiss and then we sever Ae fareweel, alas for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee Who shall say that fortune grieves him While the star of hope she leaves him Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me Dark despair around beknights me I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy Nothing can resist my Nancy For to see her was to love her Love but her, and love for ever Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest Fare thee weel, my best and dearest Thine be ilka joy and treasure Peace, enjoyment, love and pleasure Had we never loved so kindly Had we never loved so blindly Nor never met, nor never parted We would ne'er ha' been so broken-hearted Ae fond kiss, and then we sever Ae fareweel, again, for ever Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee I'll wish thee I'll wish Thine be like joy Joy Peace Thine be like joy Joy Joy Peace Peace

Excellent presentation. Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough in your explanations. I owned an XK-3 with the lower keyboard and Hammond pedalboard and enjoyed it. I had to sell it when I moved from New York to the Philippines and I miss it. I also had it setup to play Hauptwork but found the software too intimidating and expensive....but I did get it to work with at least one sample set. Technology is amazing. Are the pipe organ sounds in the XK-5 internally generated or are they digital samples of an actual pipe organ?

Amazing!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 The link for the Music Sheet is exactly what you played? Many thanks!!!

Brilliant demonstration...

The video I wanted <3

Hey there! Can you tell me What is the depth measurement without the covers?

Congratulations art for you review. It sounds like a one of a kind amp l, no output transformers very good indeed.

Wonderful! Thank you. Are the same pipe organs available in the XK4 as well?

The "Oboe" stop sounds more like a Horn stop to me.

Do you have a vid about your pedal board? does it function as a standard MIDI keyboard? does it work well with the Hammond XK5? Oh, and where did you get it? And how much did it cost?

Some parts sound like a pipe organ, some sound like an electric organ. But nice video.

Thank you. Very helpful for me.

I´m planning to buy the XK-5 system. Excelent demo!

Wonderful. Love Classical Music

Thank you for reviewing!

What a talented pianist. Wish he could play for my choir ;).

My boss EV 30 died after one year !!!! I don't know why ‼️ But when it was alive, i had problems xith many effect pedals, with other devices like zoom, ....

Respect for this Tones

winding chords around like you do if thats what you do is no winder

Very much like your demo. I wonder if the stops available for both manuals could be combined by leveraging on midi - i.e. by sending midi messages from the lower to the upper manual. What do you think?

very nice sound actually a fantastic sound . but what about the foot pedals , are there any ?

Awesome video, thank you! I learned a lot.

piece of crap Hammond machines do not belong in churches

You omit that the Nektar NX-P pedal also has a switch to change the polarity to ensure compatibility. I am a keyboard player I have two expression pedals: the Behringer FCV 100 and the Yamaha FC-7. I am very happy with both but both are too heavy to take live. That's why I'm after the Nektar. I am also in the business of repairing electronic instruments. Your problem with it has to do with a faulty or dirty potentiometer. In both cases it would be solved by replacing it with a higher quality one, something quite easy to do. If the same thing happens to me with the Nektar, that is what I will do. PS. I don't like Amazon at all. It is a worldwide monopoly that only serves to make the richest man on the planet almost four thousand dollars every second. Barbaric.

Why don't people read their instruction manual ?

Why haven't HAMMOND XK5 owners read their instruction book thoroughly or seen demonstrations - either live or KZbin to know what it can do - regarding pipe organ sounds ?

I’ve been doing a deep-dive on this topic in the quest to get a true B3-like tapered volume expression for my Nord Electro 2. The Boss EV-5’s is horrible; similar to how you described the Nektar. The Yamaha pedal is incompatible unless you buy a bunch of cables to swap the TRS polarity. The Moog EP-3 supposedly has the tapered response. There’s also the Crumar long-throw pedal, but its resistance range may be outside what is specified by Nord. All that to say that this is a more complex thing than most people realize

Very helpful

Thanks! My son is just about to join the ranks of pianists who also play organ, and these should help, so thank you!

I need one for synth volume control. Two sounds piano and organ. I want the organ to shut off when the pedal's a zero .[I also have the piano programed not to respond to the pedal.]. Will this do that?

great demo and review

That's some really good samples!

Hello I am very interested in Farfisa VIP 600 piano and violin with sustain and super slow vibrato. Please listen to Grupo CERRALVO- Linda Mujer
