This is the rack Roland VK8 a beast of scene! I let you go on the Roland site to entertain its possibilities!


IMPORTANT, A TURN: it's been a few times that I see on this forum that "oh my god, it's annoying that there have only taken twelve o'clock noon THRU IN or because you can not connect SECOND crankset or keyboard! " WRONG !!!!!! Dear musician friends, if you were reading your manual, you would see that on page 45, it is mentioned that one can "ADD MIDI THRU MIDI FUNCTION TAKING OUT"
So NO, no need to buy the famous "twelve o'clock solutions quadra thru 50 to compensate for this problem. Everything is brand in the manual! If everyone read a little more manual, it viterai to have unnecessary questions in the forums.
Voil c'tait a bit of a friendly face. :)dropoff Window


Regarding Sounds? See below.

USE

The Gnrale configuration is easy! Indeed we must not forget that its main role is to imitate the old hammond has tonewheels with B3 / C3, which possdait only the "vibrato, chorus, percussions, leslie" and 8 pr sets it seems! Sorry for the uncertainty friends, I possde a L100P Hammond (even when a beautiful beast).

In short, so in terms of configuration, you guessed it, it's easy! Mumuse with zippers, overdrive, etc, basically turn the knobs is of the order of any persons in possession of at least two fingers!

But of that when we dwell on the machine in pluchant a little manual, which I think is very well done, it's almost a pleasure to read, as has each "chapter" was a small résumé of how to operate the hammond organ (tonewheels course), mode of DIFFERENT etc, and I find a very friendly and informative!
We ame the opportunity to change things unchangeable by the famous 180kg behemoths: the keyclick the leakage (roughly the sound of engines running, parasites also etc. ..) .. The overdrive (and yes, no need to connect a Marshall and his dfoncer bafles to have the "beat" of Jonathan Douglas Lord .. (What god ..) ..) Finally voil for more characteristics, -> Roland.com.

The edition of the sounds become a reflex as and extent you will practice at the beginning, it was like a fool to follow verbatim the manual, but you will see Qu 'strength has come! And then you will rarely have to do so because there are 6 prsets which mmorisera all your rglages. Easily storable elsewhere!


SONORITS

I am a huge fan of Deep Purple, who decipher d "word all the solos of Jon Lord (Deep Purple), ranging from child in Time, speed king, highway star, a dead or Alive or even their lives made in Japan, australia, etc .. I think I can consider myself as to require purpuliens sounds.

Well dear friends, you want the sound saturated C3 jon lord? The spitting his big rotary Leslies live? And of purchase roland vk8m. .. I sincerely seeks long to find it, and finally I have!

For jazz sounds, blues etc .. You will be served also! You will have everything .. Everything .. No. You will have everything except a semi trailer to buy a ton of lug your gear.
Voil.

I know that Roland vk8m videos are not at the sites, but believe me, this is exactly what an organist, whether jazz or rocker wants!

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have since not even a month, but every day I discovers new things!
I think there are only more .. The sonorits, the possibilities, the relative simplicity .. (Simple but requires manual study any prior notice) .. Etc!

Oh, only bad points ..:

- The manual says that we should use the expression pedal Roland EV7 200! THANK THE CONSUMER SOCIETY under risk of abmer the module .. I admit that at the moment I do not dare dsobir ..

- B deam, which when used can be inadvertently
Dclench our hand holding to change the vibrato or chorus ..
But .. can disable it so it'll.

-and finally, the good is rather a question ..
A waterfall when a master keyboard for this module?

Voil.

It's a choice I would do willingly to buy used I think, because in 1000 it hurts .. anyway, I combl!

Thank you for reading.

Musically!
