The new XC-3 is the new version of the famed Hammond C-3 Tone-Wheel Organ. Designed to replicate the original, the XC-3 uses DRH sampling technology to faithfully reproduce the unique sound of the tone-wheels... right down to the variations in key click and crosstalk. The XC-3 has the same percussion, vibrato and chorus functionality as the venerable 400+ pound monster C-3. The new XC-3 is capable musically of everything the C-3 does. Visually, the XC-3 looks the same with rich walnut veneers used for the organ, bench and Leslie cabinet.

Newer technologies such as MIDI and digital reverb have been added but the same 11-pin Leslie connector is retained so you may connect any old Leslie cabinet with the XC-3. The XC-3 comes with the Model 122XB Leslie speaker system with fast, slow and off Leslie speeds. The 122XB has the traditional tube amplifier to further match the original Hammond sound. A new advanced feature is the ability to transmit MIDI controller data by using the drawbars. You may also save to RAM memory cards all your front panel presets and custom drawbar settings.
