Hammond XK4 Organ

The Hammond XK-4 is a lightweight single-manual drawbar organ keyboard that has the sound and feel of a vintage tonewheel instrument. Weighing in at just over 9kg, the XK4 is the perfect instrument for gigging musicians who want the classic Hammond sound on stage in a portable form. The XK4 is built around the new MTW-2 modelled tonewheel sound engine - Hammond's most advanced electronic organ sound source to date.

The XK4 captures the charm and individuality of vintage instruments by simulating imperfections such as pitch and volume fluctuations, as well as tonewheel interactions and leakage. The newly designed Leslie speaker simulator adds an accurate reproduction of routing the sound through various classic rotary speakers. The XK4 even simulates the multi-contact delay experienced when playing the keys of original tonewheel organs. All these components work together to form the unmistakable vintage tone and feel of a classic Hammond B3.

3 Part Organ
The 61-note waterfall keyboard can be split to give different drawbar tone combinations for upper & lower parts, and there is a dedicated bass part which can be played on the keyboard or by attaching one of Hammond's MIDI pedalboards for a true organ experience. All three parts can be addressed on different channels over MIDI.

Variety Of Organ Types
As well as the popular Hammond Tonewheel sound, the XK4 has four additional types of organ voice to recreate the most popular sounds of different organ manufacturers' instruments: Vox, Farfisa, Ace and Classical Pipe.

Digital Effects
Digital effects, including Vibrato & Chorus, various multi-effects (you can have two MFX active simultaneously), Overdrive, Matching Transformer, Leslie simulator, Equalizer and reverb are all available to create unique sounds. A mater equalizer is also on hand to alter the instrument's overall tone.

Storage Of Your Own Sounds
It is possible to store 100 of your own patches within the XK4, which can be quickly accessed using the FAVOURITES buttons. You can also store 4 of your own custom tonewheel setups and eight individual Leslie speaker cabinet settings. Use the USB to device connector to save even more setups to external memory (not supplied).

Modern Connectivity Options
The XK4 is equipped with a USB to Host connector for direct connection to personal computers and standard 5-pin MIDI IN & OUT sockets for linking with other MIDI-equipped musical instruments, including pedalboards.

There are left & right audio outputs and an individual rotary output for sending the sound to an external rotary speaker simulator. The 11-pin Leslie connector is compatible with the latest Leslie speakers, including the 2101, 2103, 3300 and new 142 & 122 Heritage models.

The stereo AUX-IN connector allows external sound sources, such as MP3 players and mobile devices, to be mixed with the XK4's own sound output. 

You can add the optional CU1 Half-moon switch for an authentic vintage experience, or Leslie fast/slow speeds can be controlled with the optional footswitch. There are also connectors for Damper Pedal and Expression Pedals. We recommend the optional Hammond EXP50J as the ideal expression pedal for the XK4.
