Hammond XK-1
|
|
JUST
ARRIVED!! |
You Can Carry This
Hammond Under One Arm!
The XK-1 utilizes
many of the features of the XK-3 but in a premium package. You
still get "The Sound;" you get "Real Drawbars;" you get waterfall
keys (lighter industry standard keybed); you can plug in a Leslie
21 system... all this in a traditional Hammond cabinet. At only 33
lbs. the XK-1 is an essential part of any touring band's keyboard
rig! And who better to give you the B-3 sound than Hammond, the
B-3's inventor?
Vintage Tone Wheel and Extra Sounds |
|
This new
Hammond XK-1 offers you the classic "tone-wheel" sound by
utilizing two VASE III 96 Digital Tone Wheels. The XK-1's
sampled waveform makes it possible to reproduce all of the
characteristics of the vintage Hammond B-3. Waveforms
include B-type, Mellow, Brite (Upper and lower), Muted,
Normal, and Synth (Pedal). In addition, the XK-1 offers
eight "Extra Voice" sounds such as electric piano. |
|
Drawbars, Presets, And Leslie, Oh My! |
|
But wait! The
new Hammond XK-1 also includes a set of nine drawbars, a
2-rotor digital Leslie, a vibrato/chorus knob, a digital
overdrive, 10 reverbs, and a built-in 3-band equalizer to go
beyond the features you would expect to find on a vintage
Hammond B-3. |
|
Lightweight Modern Keyboard Technology Meets
Vintage B-3 |
|
But there's
more. The Hammond XK-1 will perform like no previous
tone-wheel Hammond could ever do, such as Pitch
Bend/Modulation, Transpose and MIDI. The Hammond XK-1's
library of 132 Programmable Patches allows you to save and
store your own Drawbar combinations, MIDI information,
whatever you like. All this in a compact 33-pound package.
That's 33 pounds, NOT 430! Show up to a gig with a Hammond
XK-3 and your band and your back will love you. (So will
your fans.) |
