- / @nickfoleyuk We need to say goodbye to the Yamaha and thanks to @FairDealMusicVideos for the loan of it. What a great device.
Before it goes I thought, let's whack it through a vintage Leslie? Why not eh...
Use your ears to hear the results!
Cheers

Leslie is the Hammond’s soul, even a cheap keyboard like this sounds fantastic through the Leslie
Good job, Nick. Sounds sweet.
The CK has an output boost in the system settings. You could probably skip the boost peddle to get some overdrive from the Leslie. I’d also be curious to hear the CK overdrive with the Leslie clean.
This reminds me of my old rig back in the 80’s: Korg CX-3 through a 147 Leslie with an electric piano underneath. I’d never lift that kind of gear now but it got the job done back in the day.
Thanks for the info
I have a 770 with Leslie Preamp ll. Now each of my cheap or expensive synths can sound great.
It’s a pity that the CKs don‘t offer four outputs…
Thanks for the great test! Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪🤝
Greetings!
I was thinking ... it's just a shame the keyboard isn't a little longer.
It turns out (by which I mean I searched) there's also a CK 88. 🙂
It's not cheap - electronics is cheap, keys aren't!
Too true
You'd have to be prepared to play organ on weighted hammer action keys if you go with the 88 however....
@@FurtiveSkeptical yeah - I'm thinking of getting a cheap-ish 2nd keyboard, likely 4 octaves, either a pure MIDI controller or synth, to give an organ style double manual, with an unweighted right hand
I rented a Ck61 for a while and was impressed for the price. However, I found the Leslie weak and plugging in external effects on messy festival stages just sucks. I could have got a Nord or the Yamaha YC61 but surprised myself and got another Motif, the MODX7. It’s a pain to program. Terrible UI. The sounds, however are good. One keyboard, 76 keys, 16 pounds. More music, less gear.
Can you pls do a tutorial on the house of the rising sun pls I love the organ solo thanks.
Nice 👍🏻👍🏻🎹🎹🎶🎶
When connected either to any ,how are the other sounds affected? Has a separate connection for that purpose? Sound very good 👍 thanks Nick
I’m not too sure to be honest Rudy
@@nickfoleyuk thanks Nick anyway
No.
Sounds really good, I wonder how it compares to the Roland Fantom-0 and the Korg Nautilus/Kronos (CX-3) through the same setup?
I’ll try and find out for you mate
@@nickfoleyuk Thanks, looking forward to it.
La sensibilidad en las teclas del Yamaha ck61 son como los psr e473 o versiones anteriores saludos
Thanks
Sounds a little too "clicky". Is there anyway to adjust that? I know the Mojo has a click adjustment knob.
No mention of it in the manual I’m afraid
There's a set of "Percussion" buttons above the drawbars which adjust the attack sound of the organ. Not sure if that's what you mean.
@@Prizm44 the "click" sound is an emulation that older Hammonds develope over time due to dust accumulation on the contacts. It's considered a desirable trait.
No way to adjust it. It is WAY too clicky and sounds like crap overall. It is a last resort type of thing for when all else fails. Worse than most sampled organ patches ever made.

Yamaha makes great organs but, I still like the Hammonds and Crumars better. No matter what one you have, just pretend none of them have a rotary speaker emulator in them at all. ALWAYS run through a real Leslie and move some air!
Yup
The Yamaha doesn't have a separate out for organs so that is impossible (unless one only buys it for organ, which would be idiotic).
@@ChrisP3000x I've added 1/4" inputs to all my Leslies.
@@nonsuch and? You gonna play non-organ instruments through a Leslie?
@@ChrisP3000x Yeah! Like Pink Floyd's piano or Jan Akkerman's guitar!
How do you connect it to a 147 ?
I have the 122 modified and the ability to convert from Jack socket it I wish
@@nickfoleyuk thanks again
My god I need a 122 (or 145 or 147 ?) .. man
They are all great, the 122 and 147 are a little taller and sound a little better to my ears. the 145 is more 'portable' but can be a little boxy. that said I gigged a 145 for 10 years, loved it.
Great job but how about wooly bully watch it now 😮
Wow, that clicky keyboard was annoying!
