I bought this to have what I thought would be the equivalent of my KeyB which is not in my studio room. I was disappointed as I never thought it sounded as good as my KeyB although it was supposed to have the same sound engine as my KeyB's replacement. Of course the KeyB was playing through 15" EV's and the EXP module is playing through my 8" studio monitors. For that reason I never played it much and NEVER recorded it (which was the main reason I bought it). For some reason, I decided to do a quick record on it today and didn't think it sounded too bad. The classic "888" didn't/doesn't have the 'bite' or grit as the KeyB (or real 'B'). I'll try increasing the OD. The bass (LM linked to Pedals) sounds pretty good but the Leslie Sim is a little shakey. Also the "848" on the lower manual is not as 'creamy' as on the KeyB.
Anyhoo, I did some test tracks to check the recorded sound (to see if it sounded better than the 'live' sound). No rhythm guitar so just 'dubbed the melody/solo. One shot (you can hear all the bloopers
) 'cause it was just a test/practice recording. Bob (my guitarist) is coming over sunday so I'll do it again with guitar (comp & solo). I'll post that. In the meantime, here's practice run #1. BTW, I control the module with my old Nord C1 which makes THE perfect controller (I have it's own sounds muted).
