Hammond XK-2 Portable Combo Organ with Hard Shell Hybrid Case This is my personal organ I used when working with the national blues act “Roomful of Blues” It has always been kept in it’s hard shell case and is in excellent condition. All functions work as expected, and the organ sounds great! I am also selling a Motion Sound Pro-3T that I used with it in a separate auction. The organ comes with its Hard Shell Hybrid case with AC power cable. The case is in good condition from normal use except for it missing a corner cover on one of the bottom corners. Please see this YouTube Video I made as a demo of the keyboard, and also the Pro-3T rotary speaker. Here is the link to the Motion Sound Pro-3T I am also selling. The 2 CDs this was used on is “Watch you When you Go” – 11661-9638-2 And Roomful of Blues: Live at the Wolf Trap Here I am using the Organ and Motion Sound at a live concert. Bring the awesome sound and playability of the Hammond B-3 organ/Leslie speaker combo into your keyboard rig without bringing along the 400-pound dual-register instrument case and the equally imposing Leslie speaker cabinet, at a very affordable price! The Hammond XK2 puts classic B-3 features and sound into an attractive, ergonomically designed and easily transported single keyboard, weighing in at a sleek 30 pounds.Its dark brown, faux wood-grain exterior, ivory-hued waterfall keys and nine drawbars give the XK2 an authentic look and feel. It comes loaded with a 64 preset drawbar/setup combinations, including the gamut of classic organ settings from every style of music that has embraced the B-3’s warm sound over the years. The library is user programmable for Upper Manual, Lower Manual and Pedal keyboard use. A nice feature is that as you change patches, held notes sustain smoothly into the new sound. Front panel knobs and switches allow easy real-time control of reverb level, overdrive, vibrato, chorus, percussion and the excellent Leslie speaker simulation. For many hardcore B-3 enthusiasts, there is no substitute for an actual rotating speaker, so the XK2 has a direct-to-Leslie connector on the back if you want to use one. The XK-2 digitally generates the pure harmonic sound of the classic B-3 including nuance characteristics of generator crosstalk and other important features such as adjustable Drawbar foldback at the top and bottom octaves, adjustable Attack (key click), and adjustable overdrive. The user programmable presets, percussion settings, 6 degrees of chorus and vibrato, and other B-3 characteristics were designed into the XK2 for maximum professional flexibility. Some early Hammond organ models lacked "foldback" found in the B-3 and similar models. These models had keyboards which were wired differently internally with the first 12 bass tones normally found only on the pedals of B-3 and other organ models with foldback. Other later Hammond organ models had additional tones above the highest frequency tone found in a B-3. The XK2 can easily be configured to recreate these earlier or later organs to suit the organist's playing needs by altering the adjustable foldback points. The XK2's on-board Digital Leslie is fully adjustable to suit user preferences. The simulated upper horn& bass rotor "Rise" (speed up) and "Fall" (slow down) times can be independently changed. The "Brake" (stopping) time for both horn and rotor can also be adjusted. Volume balance between the horn and rotor can be tailored to suit the user. Simulated Microphone settings can be changed to replicate the different options when miking a Leslie. The new B.M.T.P digital Leslie was designed to offer the professional user total control to replicate older single-speed tube amp Leslie's (21H, 22H, 45, 45, etc.), later two-speed tube amp models (122, 142, 147, 145) and solid-state Leslie's (760, 770, 925, etc.) for live and recording purposes. The Hammond XK2 can perform in virtually any MIDI environment. SEND and RECEIVE channels are programmable. LOCAL keyboard control can be turned ON or OFF, and the keyboard can be split into two MIDI ZONES with separate SEND channels, program numbers, and high and low limits for each ZONE. The XK2 features 32-note polyphonic and 16-part multi-timbral capabilities. The XK2 can be used as a master controller for any standard MIDI device. It can be used as a MIDI slave and controlled from a Digital Piano or any other standard MIDI keyboard, module or controller. The sound and features of the XK2 are very familiar to everyone. Of course, the drawbars are live, so you can move them in real time to create infinite on-the-fly sound variations. I am including a Hammond FS-9H foot switch, which you can use to change the Leslie speaker speed from slow to fast and back again throughout a tune, without having to take your hands from the keyboard. I am also including a Hammond EXP-100A Expression Pedal, which you use to control volume and add expression to your playing. Finally, this keyboard comes with its power cord (internal power), user manual, and a Gator 76-key size, heavy-duty fabric keyboard bag with wheels, for safely transporting the organ from gig to gig!While there are newer Clone-Wheel combo organs on the market, I still see XK2s in the keyboard rigs of pro bands who tour through our area. The reason is that, while some of the newer keyboards have more refined features and allow, provide for more ROM presets and allow for more user presets, the XK2 still sounds awesome in a mix, especially live. But the newer keyboards cost 2-3 times as much as I’m asking for this one, and then you have to pay extra for the various accessories. This keyboard has been kept carefully in a smoke-free home ProTools studio, and I have had it out to gig about a dozen times over the eight years I have owned it, mostly at our church. It has a few scratches, but it is in excellent condition otherwise and works like new! I am at the point in life when I need to significantly downsize and simplify my music equipment, which is why I’m finally selling my XK2. Look for some of my other eBay adds for various MIDI sound modules, effects devices, sound cards, controllers and instruments.
