Hammond SK1 or Nord Elektro 6D - Hammond sound and samples choir

[TheoH]

Hello, I want to buy an organ with a good Hammond sound with some synthesizer possibilities. I doubt between Hammond SK1 and a Nord Elektro 6D. For me it is important that the Hammond sound is OK, but also I will use some samples for choir. These samples can be free downloaded. Does anyone know if the samples for SK1 and Elektro 6D are OK? What is your advise?

If the Hammond is the deal maker either will suit you fine,I prefer the Nord organ though.
The playing action of the Hammond is organ waterfall not hybrid Fatar 'both' action like the Electro.
Only the C2D,C1,C2 by Nord have actual organ keybeds.
Beside the Nord C2D Fatar action, the depth of travel for playing keys on Electro is deeper,much like the Stage3 73 Compact.
This allows pianos to function with more authority than the shallower organ style keys.That little extra is a bonus for 'keys' playing.
The sample set with the Electro6D I can vouch for,the Nord sample library 3 is front line live ready to go.
On these Stage3's I can load my own samples now too!
Can't confirm Electro has aftertouch though......
Don't know about the Hammond,except the review I read panned the 'add ons',claimed non organ sounds were inferior.

On a budget I'd be looking at the new Yamaha YC61,not either of these.You'd have enough left over for a Behringer PolyD.....
The panel is 90% Nord Electro,so if imitation is flattery Yamaha has been schooled by the best.Can they make a B3 clone?
Can the YC61 send piano left ,organ right, as mono outs for seperate amp/processing? The Electro can!
We know Yamaha makes great combo organs and pianos,Motif based synth and controllers like a Stage left off the Hammond or Electro!
Need pro everything and a great live operating system? Get the Nord all the way for that..
Soon the Nord Wave2 will arrive,will have a look at that.

It's a great time to look,new competition is good,even when it is a clone...of a clone.
