Break Away - Hammond XE200 and Roland BK-7m

[rvenneman]

Thanks. I did purchase one. Now to learn it. :-)

[rvenneman]

Please explain something. Is the backing module playing all the rhythm and the instrument sounds based on your chord changes?

[cheshire1uk]

@rvenneman Hi, yes the Roland BK-7m is playing all the backing based on my chord changes plus the lead vocal sounds too.

Hi Keith

That is a fabulous sound and what a nice easy laid back style of playing you have.

Please answer a couple of questions for me when you have time .

1. Are you using only the internal organ amp.or something more powerful

2. Where is the leslie sound from--the organ, BK7m or a Ventilator

3. Are the vocal sounds from the organ or the the BK7m

Can't make up my mind whether to buy your setup or a Hammond SK2 with a

BK7M

@CABARMusic Thanks for your nice comments Clive. When I use the Vent I can't use the XE's internal speakers, instead it's fed into a mixer and out to powered speakers, however this video is recorded directly into my Cam from the mixer.

The Leslie sound is from the Vent (XE200) and the Vocal sounds are from the Roland.

The SK2 and BK7m would be brilliant together, what you have to remember is the XE uses VASE II and the new SK's use VASE III, although the Vent helps to minimise the difference.

Hi William nice to hear from you, thanks for the great comments, I'm really enjoying the BK-7m as it makes a perfect partner for the XE200.

Cheers, Keith

Hello Keith!

You make so beautiful uploads, I hope YOU will not break away.

I also cannot sing like the Beach Boys, so I need a BK-7m too. Or I hear you singing, with your fingers and a little help of the BK-7m.

Many thanks, William.

[cheshire1uk]

@MrKeys57 Thanks Levi, your right, the Vent makes all the difference to the XE.

Cheers Keith.

@myaccordionhistory Thanks a lot Leon, I love the Roland BK-7m, how are you getting on with yours,

Keith

[myaccordionhistory]

@cheshire1uk - Hello Keith,

Glad to see you enjoying your BK. I bought my BK specifically for a potential gig that did not work out because I now have a shoulder injury. I therefore decided to sell the BK and use the money to buy another smaller instrument that is kinder to my shoulder. Besides, I have another arranger system at home that is not portable, but adequate for practice work. If I get another gig I'll buy another BK.

I really want to get one of those BK-7m modules for my xk3c

[cheshire1uk]

@Denvermorgan2000 The BK-7m is a really great backing module and would be perfect for your XK3c.

Thanks Keith
