Break Away - Hammond XE200 and Roland BK-7m

Okay I can't sing like the Beach Boys but the BK-7m does a fair job, so here's my version of Break Away by the Beach Boys.

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

@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.

Brilliant sound Keith. You're gathering quite a following I see. So much for taking up your other hobby after listening to HS. Stick with with these uploads, your other hobby can take a back seat. * * * * *

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.
