MAIN FEATURES

ACCURATELY REPRODUCES THE TONE-WHEEL SOUND.
Your new XK-3 contains (96) independent oscillating digital tone-wheels and accurately reproduces the
sound of the Vintage B-3.
In addition, this keyboard has full polyphony.
KEYBOARD OPERATES LIKE THE VINTAGE MODELS.
This keyboard operates exactly like the vintage B-3, C-3, etc did.
Presets are selected by means of the Reverse Colored Keys.
Vibrato effects can be selected by the rotary Vibrato control.
The keyboard has Waterfall keys and you can also attach a Leslie Switch (optional) to the front rail as
well.
VACUUM TUBE PREAMPLIFIER.
Your XK-3 is equipped with a vacuum tube preamplifier.
This will provide you with the warm, crunch, and hard overdrive sounds.
The Overdrive circuit consists of two bands. Thus even if the sound is distorted hard, you can still obtain
purer harmony.
DIGITAL LESLIE / VIBRATO EFFECTS.
The XK-3 keyboard is equipped with a DSP effect generator to simulate the Scanner-Vibrato and Leslie
Speaker.
The range of sounds that you can create is expanded by the use of Vibrato and Chorus effects, and by the
real sounding Leslie effects which effectively simulates the rotation of the two Rotors which are present in
traditional Leslie.
11 PIN LESLIE SPEAKER SOCKET.
Your new XK-3 contains a 11 pin Leslie speaker socket for direct connection to Leslie Speakers.
CAN BE EXPANDED BY USE OF EXTERNAL MIDI PRODUCTS.
