Classic Combo Organs

The XK range of keyboards is all about producing the perfect organ sound for studios and gigs alike. With 12 Hammond Macro profiles, all with 17 tweakable parameters, there is plenty of choice to go at. There are also 96 adjustable digital tonewheels which enables you to create your perfect B3. It doesn't just stop at Hammond organs. In the XK, there are also Vox, Pipe and Farfisa combos that enable the performer to really get the most out of the playing experience.

Hammond Components

The classic Hammond drawbars have been added to the XK-1c range of keyboards and are identical in terms of shape and size to the original Hammonds. The use of the drawbars enables every performer to get their perfect and unique sound from the organ. The drawbars can also be used on the combo organs, operating in their original format. All Hammond organists will be familiar with the three vibrato and chorus functions on the originals. These have been added and act in exactly the same way as the vintage Hammonds.

Digital Leslie

Ever since the dawn of the 1935 Hammond Organ, the Leslie speaker has not been far behind. The XK-1c series takes the classic combination of the rotary Leslie speaker and the Hammond organ and constructs it in to a digital emulator. It has all the features but takes up much less space! The XK also has all of the features, including ramp up and down features, where the rotary speeds are changed. As well as this, the emulator also reenacts amp type, virtual mic placement and many other cabinet features. On the XK, there are several factory settings that replicate the 122, 147 and the 760 and are all available for instant selection. Perhaps you already have the Leslie speaker. Not a problem with the XK. Simply use the 8 pin connector on the back of the keyboard and connect straight to the Leslie while not going through the digital emulator.

Reviews

"The XK-1c's diminutive size is shocking when compared to its massive tone, but one touch of the traditional waterfall keyboard tells the truth that the XK-1c is the real deal, not a clone or imitation, but a genuine Hammond Organ, worthy of the name and the legacy of nearly 80 years." Gregg Gronowski, Hammond USA Director of Sales and Marketing
