The Roland VK-8M Organ Sound Module has 9 harmonic bars, COSM amplifier, and rotary speaker modeling that create amazingly realistic sound. The VK-8M's audio input and active expression feature allow you to fade in external tone with a pedal. D-Beam controller with multicolored LED and templates. The Roland VK-8M Organ Sound Module makes adding distinctive, classic organ sounds to any setup easy.
We bought this module for its portability. We have a Korg CX-3 organ that we use for local performances, but this little guy fits in a laptop case and goes on an airplane VERY easily! Our keyboardist/organist connects it to the main keyboard via MIDI and he absolutely LOVES it. The D-Beam is a VERY cool feature. By waving your hand over the "eye" you can change leslie speeds! I highly recommend this as an add-on module for gigging or as a cheaper alternative to buying a Hammond or Korg organ. The samples are VERY good.
I've used the VK7 and thought it was good, but the VK8m smokes it. It is also better than the Korg and Nord clone wheels and has a warmer amp sound than the NI B4II soft synth organ. I have a 1959 Hammond M3 at home and is very close to the real deal. The Amp sim is great! Get all the tones from 50's 60's 70's and way-overdriven sounds! I have set my control keyboard up to control the leslie slow/fast with a control pedal (CC80) and even control lower/upper drawbars using the keyboards fader controls. I've had mine for 3-1/2 years with 2-3 gigs a week and it got rained on, baked in the sun, dust, dropped and still works like a champ. If mine died, I would replace it for sure or get one of the other VK8 organs.
