Performed in real time. All sounds produced by Kronos.
Tell me what you think.

Very nice, and nice pedalling too (I used to be organist too).

Me to Michel. Those pedals take me back. With the swell pedal on the right foot and the Leslie fast/slow switch to flick in the swell pedal. Happy days.

I never had a hammond (at least not one from my own), but still have a Farfisa organ ... if anyone is interested ... it's free for pickup.

Great performance! Your Standtastic keyboard stand looks stable and solid. I recently ordered one and hope to get it this week. The extra tiers shipped ahead of the unit which was on backorder.

The pedals were custom made. I really missed playing the pedals after years of performing on a real Hammond. I also wanted to be able to assign other sounds to the pedals rather than traditional organ bass and string bass. The Kronos lets me assign whatever sounds I want to anything in the rig. Loving It!

The Standtastic stand is very nice. It does take a bit longer than 30 seconds to erect. Make sure you tighten the wingnuts when you erect or tear down, they will loosen. The bag hold the stand well, however since I keep the keyboards so close together, I have to remove the second tier to get it tight enough. The handles on the bag are placed in a weird area; the wieght is no evenly distributed so it's rather awkward to carry. Other than that, it really is a very stable stand.
