WHAT THE XK-3 IS MADE OF

This new instrument does what has never been done before ­ offering you the classic "tone-wheel" sound by utilizing 96-DIGITAL TONE WHEELS! This new VASE III sound-generator now makes it possible to reproduce all of the characteristics of the vintage Hammond B-3. Additionally, the Hammond XK-3 houses two INTERNAL VACUUM TUBES that will change continuously from PRE-AMP MODE to OVERDRIVE MODE via control knob.


But wait! The new Hammond XK-3 also includes 12 REVERSE COLOUR KEY PRESETS, 3 SETS OF DRAWBARS, A 2-ROTOR DIGITAL LESLIE, and A 6-POSITION ROTARY VIBRATO-CHORUS KNOB, all the features you would expect to find on a Hammond Vintage B-3.


But there's more. The XK-3 will perform like no previous tone-wheel Hammond could ever do, with features like a library of 132 PROGRAMMABLE PATCHES allows you to save and store your own Drawbar combinations, MIDI information, whatever you like. And just think, all this in a 19.5 Kg. package that won't break your back or your budget.
