Sounds great. I have a Hammond Suzuki XM-1c drawbar expander, I guess its the same technology used on the XE organs (VASE II ?). I also took a listen of your GA3 version and hands down, sad for the Technics, there is no chance. GA3 sounds cheap and cold in comparison. I was looking for a GA3 to add my collection (recently I acquired a C700 that in my opinion sounds amazing and has better drawbar sound of the GA3) but now maybe I will look for an Hammond XE !
Thank you. I heard so many positive talk about the GA3, but when I finally owned one I was not fully satisfied. It tries too much - 5 different Leslies/Tremolos, but not a single good one for example. The XE is quite similar orchestral sound wise, but better organ sound wise. Also much more accordion sounds. And biggest plus of the XE: there is no split for the lower keyboard on the GA3! However: Theatre organ sounds on the XE are quite poor… You could also think about a Roland AT or some Orla GT.
@@auronoxe Thanks for sharing your experience. I have also the Orla GT8000 the flute sound is particular, definitely not like an Hammond , maybe more similar to Wersi and it does have very good Theater organs voices. Plus Lower manual split. About Roland AT, I wish to find one but practically impossible to find in my country (Italy)-here the organ market has dead at the end of 80s. I also own some Yamaha: HS-8, HX-1, EL-90 and a Stagea DDK-7 all of these are superb, but they needs to be programmed for playing. I also have Technics sx-G6 and C700 plus an SM-AC80 that is a GX7 into a briefcase! Two great Elka (x1000 and X30) and a vintage Solton P600C closing my collection (for now). Finding a GA3 is quite hard here (till now never found one) while I saw on some marketplaces two XE-1 and I regret I left they go. About Technics I have also a KN7000 the last professional keyboard they made, it does have digital drawbars divided in some categories, also Theater tabs and it sounds really great, probably much better than a GA3 , they sould have updated the DSP , so also the rotary sim.
@@musk771 That‘s quite a selection of premium organs you own. Congratulations. My space is limited, 4 is my maximum at the moment 😉 I bought my At500 on ebay in London! But I had the luck to organize a cheap transport to Germany.
@@auronoxe As you say, UK seems to be the real paradise for who is looking an organ, you can still find anything there and for cheap, sometime for free. The problem is, most of people who sell, just refuse to ship abroad , to avoid problems, also when you are well happy to pay for delivery. You were lucky with the Atelier! .
Great performance and registrations. All the best. Keith.
Thanks for your kind comment
very nice !!
Thank you
Great 😊
Thanks a lot 😁
Could you maybe try Minuetto by Paul Mauriat? Thanks!
I did never hear that song. Just listened to it. It is nice, but I have no special relation to it 😉

Very good. Would be better with the distortion turned off in my opinion.
Thanks a lot. I tried to get a gritty sound, like in the video of the original player using the real B3 😉
@@auronoxe it’s no crisism. Just what I refer.
