I am a bass player looking to enhance my low end with synth type
sub-bass and sound effects. Why should I buy the Hammond XPK-100 over
the Roland PK-5? Both are 13 notes and similarly priced.

thx for any input,
frenchy

I dont mind paying extra for quality. I think I will stay away from
the fatar per the reviews and construction. How is the quality of the
hammond compared to the roland? I am looking for the solution that is
road-worthy, sturdy and reliable. I was hoping someone had a
compelling reason to go hammond, but as of right now the roland is
winning out because it is more readily available. I see no real
reason to go the extra mile for the hammond at this
time.................

yeah, some of my workmates have been calling me "steve freedom"
instead of my real name.

Not many supporters of the Hammond XPK-100 here huh?

Probably looking for a shorter pedal board, but I thought I would mention
that there is available from one source a 25 note Hammond real pedal board
converted to midi but cost about, not sure, but around 900 or so dollars.
