@@ericnataf9206 the new organ sounds are great, but they are very very polyphony hungry. I found that I start dropping notes if I layer a piano with any of these new organs, and then turn on a drum track. Same thing if I just have a piano, pad, and one of the new organs. As usual, even with the 400 notes or polyphony - Yamaha has not given sufficient power and resources to this machine to serve us in the same way a Nord Stage does. I say this as someone who had a montage M6 and a Stage 4, and sold the Montage M6 purely due to the polyphony issues. The same is true of Roland and their Fantom (and EX) but guess which one I still have? The Nord Stage 4.
У меня Rolland RD-700NX. Надеюсь, в этой модели производители улучшили управление ударными? В моей модели нельзя регулировать громкость ударных на лету, более того при смене звуков менялись и ударные. Как с этим дело обстоит в этой модели?
I don't understand what you are asking. What you are hearing in this video, is straight from the XK4, into the Strymon Lex V2 pedal, and then into my interface. No amps were involved.
Hi Ben, thanks for all the great information, i use this piano in the church but cant find the cello and pan flute sound, if you pls kindly just tell me under what button i can find and the sequence digital number for them, really appreciate it, thanks a lot
Lex is a superb Leslie sim. The main problem with the Lex is that Strymon made it having in mind mainly (if not only) the guitarists. I had the "Burn" connected it on a Hammond XK1 (actually i had connected two of them) and the sound was excellent. Later i bought a Hammond XK1c and i tried it with Vent II. It''s ok, but something is missing. When i connected the Lex on the XK1c i found the sound i was searching for years, this "motor-boat" intense sound you get when you have the mics too close to Leslie rotors. The Lex sounds more "warm" in my ears, especially on higher notes. Personally i chose the Lex over Vent II for its "warmth" and its intense sound. Pull out all the drawbars and listen on Fast speed the higher notes, only Lex make them sound "creamy" and warm, even with the "Clip" overdrive from the SK/XK1c/XK4 models. The Clip OD is almost useless with internal sim, but with Lex sounds extremely well. I was thinking to buy the XK4 and the Lex v2 for a long time, and probably i'll buy them in this summer. Listen few sound examples i recorded with the XK1c and Lex in the link below. Even Strymon posted few of these in its Facebook page. 😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ch2iQ7uV3bg.html
Hello Ben. This is such a great review of B-3X. Thank you. I have the software for my setup (Yamaha P-125B / L1-P1 foot pedal / iPad Pro). I would like to know the other software you are integrating with the B-3X that offers other instruments and sounds. I am limited to the voices I have built into my Yamaha. I see one as Ravenscroft (piano?). But what are the others that allow you voices / sounds by name please? Thanks.
Bro! You messed up mehn. Why didn't you compare both the organ on the Yamaha YC with the organ on the Nord Stage 4. You only played the organ on the YC because you know the organ on the Nord will smoke the YC organ
I do not. I am totally opposed to the “rent our expansions” cloud model Roland has adopted and don’t understand why they think people will continue to buy their hardware which is essentially running the same software as your computer.
@@benallen5967 Do you recommend something to take its place? I was excited to get a remake of a classic but when I got it I guess I should’ve waited and researched more because I hate the premade scenes and also agree with it being software downloaded into the synth.
How do you make the drums consistent. Every time I play a melody it only speeds up if I play multiple keys faster. But what if I want the drums to play full while I only play lightly?
I ended up sending back my NS4 and bought a used Kronos 2 73 key and could no be happier. If someone likes it, then they are entitled to - but I personally wouldn't pay more than $3.5k for what the Nord offers.
Io ho fatto la stessa cosa. Pagare tutti quei soldi per avere un buon piano e un buon organo mi sembra esagerato. Io ho sentito i Synth e i campioni, sono veramente ridicoli. Ancora peggio donino suoni orchestrali. Per il resto è ok.
How did u layer those electric pianos with pads? How do I bring them one at a time to layer them and bring up each their volumes as u did with piano and organ?
@@benallen5967towards the end of the video u were playing the yanaha and layering in pads with electric piano and organ and pads with piano. Forward to 1 08 you said section b and going to layer in pads or synth strings in. Turning sections on u said. Where u said u made a UN upright piano or something then started layering in synth strings then Rhodes piano and layered in pads. When turning sections off or something.
Thanks! I'm using headphones. I rarely turn them on, but when I use monitors in the room, I have a pair of ADAM T7Vs. My headphones are Neumann NDH-30, and when I play live, I use 64 Audio U12T, U6T, and Sennheiser IE900.
Really enjoyed watching, as I have same Nord and SL88 Grand arriving soon. It’s go to be impossible task for pianists in a DP and everyone’s needs, taste and budget differs. Going nuts online researching. Almost can’t beat compact for hauling to local gigs, in rock bands, and can eq anything to make it fit and cut as needed. So spoiled by the top buttons for easy engine. Now craving some weighted for home practice, I can’t wait to feel the SL, however, if it’s too grand for my tiny, older fingers, I will have to compare it to stage 4 HA. Key action is what I’m focusing on, I guess I’m used to the softer edges of the spring action semi’s, and wish the key size was just closer to full. Deciding to back off gigs and do my own playing, I still like some B3 and synth strings. I’ve tried and returned es120 and es920, and look to lower price item before I take the plunge. I don’t see many reviews describing the key action bounce, weight etc., but tons of opines in forums. Anyway your vid helps. Thanks
I mainly hear sounds that you can easily find in the Integra... that device will become 4 times more expensive in the future, because people currently have no idea what it can do 😊
I don’t think any of them are worth the price except the XK-4. The SK-Pro is one of the worst and most disappointing boards I’ve ever owned. I couldn’t send it back fast enough. The XK-5 flagship is…let’s call it dead in the water. Hard to edit, and doesn’t sound as good as the XK-4.
