Hammond XK-1c Stage Keyboard, Black Details
The Hammond XK-1c Stage Keyboard is a perfect choice for any gigging musician. The digital Leslie emulator offers immersive sounds that are accurately authentic to the original. The XK-1c benefits from the same Virtual Tonewheel as the B3-mkII, providing you with premium sound. The clear, easy to use display with extensive controls means that you can achieve a signature tone with ease. The XK-1c’s sleek, lightweight design means it can be easily taken on the road.

Full Description
Classic Combo OrgansThe 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 ComponentsThe 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 LeslieEver 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 MarketingSpecificationsDimensionsWidth: 958mmDepth: 305mmHeight: 102mmWeight: 7.5KGSoundsSound Generator: Vase IIIManual Polyphony: 61 NotePedal Polyphony: 8 NotePipe Organ Polyphony: 63 NoteControlsDrawbars: 9 PitchesManual Voicings: B-Type1, B-Type2, Mellow, Vx, Farf, PipePedal Voicings: Normal, Muted, Synth1, Synth2Keymap Buttons: Manual Bass, SplitAdjustable Keymap: Coupler Highest Note, Split Point, Octave Up, Octave Down, Lower, TransposeEffetcsVibrato and Chorus: Digital ScannerOverdrive: Digital, 4 ProgrammesMulti-Effects: 8 ProgrammesOrgan EQ: Bass, Mid, Treble, ToneMaster EQ: Bass, Mid, TrebleInternal LeslieSounds: Advanced Digital, 2 RotorsButtons: Bypass, Stop, FastReverbDigital: 11 ProgrammesControls: On, DepthConectorsTS Main Out: 2TRS Headphone Out: 1DIN MIDI I/O: 2TS Footswitch: 1TRS Expression Pedal: 1DIN Leslie 8-Pin: 1USB Type-A: 1OtherPatch Capacity: 64Power Requirements: 120V AC, 60HzDisplay: 20 Characters, 2 LinesMIDI Templates: 8MIDI External Zones:
