Hammond Skx - Dual-Manual Portable Organ
Hammond calls this their best Sk yet, and that says a lot. The Skx features two manuals, three sets of drawbars, Vibrato-Chorus, Touch-Response Percussion, and digital Leslie—as well as a wide range of other voices, including popular grand and electric pianos, clavinets, Orch/Percussive voices and several others. And all at just over 37 lbs!
Of course, Hammond’s virtual B-3 Tonewheel voices are incomparable. Add 32 ranks of Classical Pipe Organ voices and dead-accurate popular 1960s combo organs. Three sets of drawbars give you independent controls for each manual—and pedals. 10 Quick Recall buttons let you assign your most-used patches for instant call-up.
Other features include an expanded Voice Library memory—download your choice of custom voices from Hammond's website. Multiple banks of popular preset collections come standard, plus a new set of Hammond artist factory presets. The Skx includes an 11-pin Leslie jack for connecting a Leslie cabinet (in case the definitive onboard digital Leslie isn’t amazing enough). The classic Half-Moon switch (optional) can be added to control the speed of either the onboard or external Leslie sounds.
Why We Like the Hammond Skx
The Sk series keyboards are a perfect blend of analog-meets-digital in a great, lightweight, VERY portable design. You’ll love the fat, warm, amazingly authentic B-3 organ sounds, excellent and deeply editable Leslie simulation, gig-worthy electric pianos and synths—and you can download a ton more. And the fact that you can split and layer organ and non-organ sounds at same time, over two assignable keyboards, makes the Skx one of the best general-use gigging keyboards we’ve ever offered.
