Yeah, this is a good point. Ages ago my master keyboard was "sludgy" and
something just "wasn't right." Then I thought I had fried it because I was
only getting 4 voices out of it instead of the 8 that I was supposed to.
Turned out I had a very subtle MIDI loop going on in my system, and once
that was fixed everything was fine.

Joseph,
You might want to check the configuration on your Hammond. I have used mine
to
control my MOTM and modular stuff through an Expressionist without any
problems. I
have managed to get the XK-2 setup munged up enough that it was spewing out
lots of
garbage MIDI messages that could certainly clog up any device and generally
bog down
performance.
I have not used the velocity sensitivity of the XK-2 to provide a CV for the
MOTM
stuff so I don't know if there is an issue there but I have used it with
other MIDI
devices and the velocity sensitivity seems to be OK. The XK-2 does not
support MIDI
after-touch so you can't map that to a CV.
I hope that helps.
Eric
