Hammond goodness
Great product and really good sound, keys are amazing.
I use it in my studio and for live applications. Best thing here is, that looks like vintage Hammond organ, but is portable and modular. Sound? No words needed. Simulates all the best vintage models of organs and Leslie spikers.
Keyboard? Feeling is just like in analog vintage Hammond organs. Drawbars too.
Definitly the best digital organs I've ever played. :)
This are reasons, why 5 stars in all the categories :)
