The New Hammond XK3C is simply the best Hammond Pro-Series organ ever designed. Deep, rich choral layers are created by the enhanced VASE III sound generator that controls a full compliment of 96 digital tone wheels, each one individually adjustable by two sets of 9 harmonic drawbars, and your favorite settings are easily recalled by 12 reverse color preset keys. The Hammond XK3C puts you in command of a NEW dual tube vacuum tube preamp that powers your solos way out front with more expression than ever before.
Incredible variations just pour out of the XK3C just by overdriving the preamp and working the Leslie rotor breaker, and you haven't even changed a chord! But the new XK3C features much, much more like the NEW Advanced Digital Leslie and Scanner Vibrato with even more depth and grind (2-rotor digital Leslie (low/high) with slow/fast/on/off/ and break controls), NEW Split Upper and Lower Vibrato/Chorus switches with 6 position rotary control for vibrato and chorus effects, 8 reverb modes, bass/ mid/ treble EQ, second and third harmonic percussion and key click, pitch bend and modulation controls, NEW assignable controllers for MIDI instruments and modules, 132 programmable patches plus compact flash storage, a backlit 20-character LCD display, headphone out, unlimited polyphony, and 61 vintage style waterfall keys with velocity.

Hammond XK3C 61-Key Modeling Organ Reviews
10 out of 10
"The Best B3 Clone"
Feature:
The XK3c comes with zero extras. If you want the extras you're going to pay. the lower manual is way too expensive for a MIDI plug in. if you start assmebling the 'kit' the price soon escalates to B3 status.
Quality:
The XK3c is very well made. It gives you the feeling of an very expensive piece. Nothing plastic feeling about this keyboard. It does have a little to it, 40 pounds which to me only adds to it's well made feel. fit and finish are great. It is very road worthy. I would recommend a hard case to protect it in travel. I thought a keyboard lid would be a nice touch.Plus it would help to protect the controls and keys. I would have to say this will stand the test of time.
Value:
I think this product is worth the price. as long as you don't keep adding kit parts. the stand, foot pedals, lower manual all add up to a big price tag. if your thoughts are to add everything think about an original Hammond.
Desirability:
The XK3c has everything the B3 has except for the daunting size. the keyboard feel is great. it's a great stand alone organ or an addition to other keyboards. The waterfall keys give you the action/feel of the orginal B3.
Sound:
The XK3c, in my opinion is as close to a B3/C3/A100 you're going to get without the hugh expense of the real thing. To me it sounds the same if not better than the orignal 'B'. I'm playing through a bass amp but would recommend a Leslie or motion sound amp to make it pure.
Ease of Use:
The XK3c is extremely easy to use. Everything is right there. If you know the B3 you'll know the XK3c. The big plus is, you can customize the sound to any genre you're playing. Every feature can be tweaked to your tastes. The overdrive feature of the tubes is unique and produces a 70s Deep Puple sound. This keyboard is very easy to play.
Support:
I have not had any problems or questions, so I can't comment on the warranty/service or dealings with the company.
Overall:
I can't imagine replacing this keyboard for anything else. if you want the Hammond B3 sound this is it. If my XK3c were lost or stolen, I would buy another in a heart beat. It's like having a B3 but only 40 pounds and 47 inches, instead of the original's 450 pounds. I wish the XK3c came with at least a volume pedal. The leslie switch is located close to where most of us had the 1/2 moon switch. Having said that I would suggest getting a foot switch to switch from the slow and fast Leslie. You're hands will be busy enough making drawbar changes not to mention playing.

"Hammond Xk-3c"
Feature:
Drawbars. What a concept!
Quality:
I have pounded on my XK-3 since it was first introduced with no need for repairs other than screws coming loose from all my travels. The only reason I have the XK3c is because the former was stolen.
Value:
You get what you pay for.
Desirability:
This is the Bently of portable organs.
Sound:
I've played Nord (excellent) and Roland VK (nice) but nothing sounds like a Hammond but a Hammond.
Ease of Use:
Programable, reverse keys presets.
Support:
Hammond Suzuki. Haven't had to communicate with them yet. That's a good thing, right?
Overall:
Like I said, I only have the XK-3c because my XK-3 was stolen. Go figure.
