XK-3 pro-line keyboard

 

For home, studio or stage, there's nothing like a real Hammond.

 
 
 

 
 

Hammond XK-3

Recently released from Hammond is the amazing XK-3 which follows from its predecessor’s, the XB series and the XK-2 keyboard. This unique 61-note keyboard is portable and stylish, featuring that incredibly rich drawbar sound unique to Hammond. Built-in features like Leslie, effects and reverse-keys with memory make the Hammond proline keyboards the ideal performance instrument.

  

The XK-3 gives you that classic tone-wheel sound by utilising 96 Digital Tone Wheels and the advanced VASE III Sampled Waveform, which now makes it possible to reproduce all of the characteristics and idiosyncrasies of the vintage Hammond B-3. It is undoubtedly the only way to go for players who need authentic B3 sound. Deluxe square-front keys truly recreate the feel of the instrument you’ve always wanted. Other features include adjustable drawbar foldback, selectable drawbar voicing, adjustable rise and attack (key click). 11-pin Leslie speaker sockets on the back means easy connection to your favourite Leslie speaker system.
