Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Hammond XK-4 brings a 61-note semi-weighted waterfall keyboard and Virtual Multi-Contact system to a 20.72 lb. portable organ. Its MTW2 engine recreates 91 virtual tonewheels and provides controls for details such as key click and leakage, while nine drawbars keep core registration close at hand. Eight Leslie models, tube modeling, overdrive choices, and multi-effects expand the internal sound options. Stereo, rotary, pedal, USB, MIDI, AUX, and 11-pin Leslie connections let it slot into performance and studio rigs.
