"this keyboard plays and reacts like a true Hammond. Its not just about sound .. its about the feeling and inspiration you get from a Hammond.   This baby has it all..."

The New Hammond XK-3c will follow in the hugely successful footsteps of its predecessor, the Award Winning Hammond XK-3. The Hammond XK-3c has become the definitive must have keyboard for most players around the world who demand nothing but the best. After all there is only One authentic HAMMOND Organ and only HAMMOND delivers THAT Sound !

This new instrument does what has never been done before - offering you the classic "tone-wheel" sound by utilizing 96-DIGITAL TONE WHEELS! This new VASE III sound generator now makes it possible to reproduce all of the characteristics of the vintage Hammond B-3. Additionally, the Hammond XK-3c houses two INTERNAL VACUUM TUBES that will change continuously from PRE-AMP MODE to OVERDRIVE MODE via control knob. But wait! The new Hammond XK-3c also includes 12 REVERSE COLOUR KEY PRESETS, 3 SETS OF DRAWBARS, A 2-ROTOR DIGITAL LESLIE, AND a 6 -POSITION ROTARY VIBRATO/CHORUS KNOB, all the features you would expect to find on a Hammond Vintage B-3

" a real Hammond Organ to match the portability of the rest of their gear.

" we already know that the XK-3c's sound engine is unrivalled in its feel, sound, tactility and authenticity"

" because of its portability and accuracy XK-3c allows you to take on gigs / sets where it would be impossible to get the B-3 and still deliver the SOUND and UNIQUE ELEMENT of the HAMMOND "

Because of the stability of the new age of computer generated soft synths many musicians now are looking for a one stop solution for studio and stage which will give them a real Hammond Organ to match the portability of the rest of their gear. We already know that the XK-3c's sound engine is unrivalled in its feel, sound, tactility and authenticity. Now we have added features like real time MIDI assignable control knobs and buttons. Split Vibrato. on / off  for both upper and lower sets of drawbars and enhanced overdrive, vibrato and Leslie speaker features. I have used the XK-3c in the studio and live gigs hooked up to my MacBook for mainly Rhodes and Clavs. It’s fantastic, I can have a panned Rhodes pad on the lower / left split with a very cool drawbar setting on the upper / right split. All saved to a pre-set and go back to the main drawbars at the touch of a button. You only need one keyboard now and this is it. Because of its portability and accuracy XK-3c allows you to take gigs / sets where it would be impossible to get the B.-3 in........ I’m lucky though as I also own a portable new B-3 as well as the XK-3c. Perhaps you should do the same ? …...... Malc

Imagine a Hammond Organ portable keyboard that has the same sound and feel as the New B-3

Imagine a Hammond Organ that can link up to your outboard MIDI rack or MAC BOOK / LAPTOP and become a MIDI controller

Imagine this is the only keyboard you need on stage

Imagine this can be carried under your arm

Then imagine that you could somehow add another optional 61 note lower manual and optional pedal board and turn it into a mini B3 type instrument and can still manage to set it up by yourself with ease and fit in the back of the family car ..

IMAGINE
NO MORE THIS IS THE XK-3c

The Legend

Lives on....
