Hammond XK-5 Portable Keyboard
The authenticity line between Vintage and Modern has been erased by the Hammond XK-5 Organ. The ground-up design of Hammond’s flagship portable draws on the original B-3’s blueprints, capturing its sound and feel with unmatched accuracy and soul. Its patent-pending technologies include an updated sound engine combining modeling and sampling, reproducing every nuance of the classic electro-mechanical tone wheel generator. A proprietary custom keyboard action provides the heft, bounce, key travel, and multi-contact behavior of classic Hammond consoles. Further features include four full sets of drawbars plus pedal drawbars, a control layout identical to the B-3, plus the latest-generation, ultra-realistic Digital Leslie. The depth of control gives you the ability to duplicate individual Hammonds down to the model, year, condition, and serial number, with downloadable tone-wheel profiles upcoming from famous Hammond organists. The XK-5 also may be expanded to a double-manual, with the top upgrade featuring the timeless 4-poster design of a B-3.
