Hammond has long been known for their truly authentic sound. They are best known for their classic tonewheel organs like the B-3 that played an outsized role in the music revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. In the digital age, Hammond took a leading role in developing sophisticated "clonewheel" organs that deliver those legendary organ sounds. Now the B-3 experience reaches a breathtaking new level of realism with the Hammond XK-4 Portable Organ.

Next-gen Modeled Tone Wheel 2 sound engine
Equipped with Hammond's powerful Modeled Tone Wheel 2 (MTW2) sound engine, the XK-4 brings sounds to life by meticulously reproducing the 91 tone wheels that powered all vintage Hammond organs. This advanced technology recreates imperfections such as pitch and volume fluctuations that gave vintage Hammonds their signature sound. It also gives you unlimited freedom in customizing your tone. Hammond's latest tube modeling system reproduces the coveted vacuum tube warmth, while vintage Hammond "matching transformer" emulation makes the sound fuller and more harmonious. Add tactile feedback from nine real drawbars, and you have the practical ability to tweak your tonewheel organ sounds to perfection in real time.The tonewheel experience - and more
Hammond's proprietary nine-level virtual multi-contact system delivers the distinctive feel of the mechanical multi-contact keyboard of a vintage Hammond organ. Moreover, if you connect one of the optional Hammond MIDI pedal boards, you also get a multi-contact feel on the pedal keyboard. Of course, the latest Digital Leslie algorithm is on board, which meticulously models the airflow of Leslie rotors and faithfully reproduces their unique sound and three-dimensional effect.
