The Hammond XK-1c Portable Organ, packing legendary B-3 sound into a lightweight, gig-friendly format. This 16-lb. powerhouse serves up authentic drawbar control, vibrato/chorus and touch-sensitive percussion—plus a convincing digital Leslie effect. The XK-1c also provides combo organ and classical pipe voices, all customizable into any era of Hammond/Leslie tone. Wherever your music takes you, the road-tested XK-1c delivers the swirling, soulful majesty only a real Hammond can.

Genuine B-3 Engine Fuels Legendary Sound

The XK-1c harnesses the same Virtual Tonewheel technology as Hammond's flagship B3-mkII console, reproducing the electromechanical complexity that shaped decades of music. Sculpt your signature sound through manipulation of nine harmonic drawbars, in the tradition of Hammond greats. Vibrato/chorus, percussion and digital Leslie bring the classic setup to life.

Tone Tailoring to Suit Any Era

Customize the XK-1c to replicate any point in B-3 history or conjure tones never before heard. An extensive patch library serves up 64 presets; 64 user slots await your creations. Easily import popular "hot rod" mods to kick your sound into overdrive. Combo organ and pipe organ voices—all drawbar-controllable—expand the sonic possibilities.

All the Soul, None of the Strain

The XK-1c delivers pure, unadulterated Hammond tone without the need for a road crew. Its compact, lightweight design cuts the bulk of vintage Hammonds down to size for a new generation of players. No longer will scheduling, space or transportation concerns keep your music from its soulful, swirling best. The Hammond XK-1c: all the legend, none of the limitations.
