Description

Experience the unmistakable authority of a true dual-manual Hammond organ in a streamlined, performance-ready design. Powered by a tonewheel engine derived from the flagship XK-5, the Hammond SkxPRO combines authentic organ response with accurate Digital Leslie, dual 61-note waterfall keyboards featuring nine virtual contacts per key and three independent drawbar sections for Upper, Lower and Pedal control. Add in high-resolution piano and ensemble sections, a physically modeled analog-style mono synth, seamless sound switching and multiple assignable outputs, and you have a stage keyboard built to cover any musical situation with confidence. At just 37.25 lb., it delivers classic Hammond depth with modern flexibility in a portable format.

Authentic Hammond Organ Engine and Dual-Manual Control

At its core, the SkxPRO features an advanced modeled tonewheel engine derived directly from the top-of-the-line XK-5, delivering the harmonic depth and response that define a true Hammond. The dual 61-note waterfall keyboards incorporate nine virtual contacts per key, recreating the progressive harmonic engagement of classic multi-contact systems. Three complete sets of drawbars for Upper, Lower and Pedal parts allow independent registration and real-time control, while the new-generation Digital Leslie provides detailed rotary realism. The result is authentic double-manual organ authority in a single integrated instrument.

Independent Piano, Ensemble and Mono Synth Sections

Beyond organ performance, the SkxPRO integrates fully independent Piano, Ensemble and Analog-Modeled Mono Synth sections. The high-resolution piano engine includes new grand and electric piano sounds, while the ensemble section delivers essential brass, reeds, strings, choir, clav, polysynth and percussion textures. All non-organ voices are fully programmable, with 128-note polyphony for piano and ensemble layers. The mono synth section adds analog-style synthesis with multiple oscillator types, dual LFOs, selectable filters, resonance and drive for expressive leads and basses.

Performance Workflow and Real-Time Expression

Designed for demanding live performance, the SkxPRO includes pitch bend and modulation wheels, independent DSP effects for organ and piano/ensemble/synth sections and seamless sound switching without note dropouts. Overdrive, tremolo, wah-wah, ring modulation, compression, chorus and delay provide detailed tonal shaping. A large tilted color display keeps essential information instantly visible, while Favorites and Allocate controls ensure quick patch access. With 600 factory presets and 700 user locations, performers can build and recall complete performance setups with confidence.

Professional Connectivity and Stage Integration

The SkxPRO integrates effortlessly into professional rigs with multiple assignable outputs, including discrete organ and bass outs, individual outputs and a dedicated rotary out. An 11-pin Leslie jack supports connection to external Leslie speaker cabinets, while USB Type A and B ports handle MIDI and mass storage. Full MIDI I/O and external MIDI zones expand control of additional hardware, and a direct IEC power connection eliminates external adapters. Whether in a touring rig or studio environment, the SkxPRO is engineered for reliable integration.

A Complete Dual-Manual Stage Solution

Combining authentic Hammond tonewheel modeling, expanded transistor and pipe organ voices, high-resolution pianos, deep ensemble textures and a flexible mono synth engine, the SkxPRO stands as a comprehensive performance instrument. Its lightweight build, intuitive layout and professional connectivity make it equally suited for worship settings, jazz ensembles, rock stages and studio sessions. For players seeking classic Hammond character with modern versatility, the SkxPRO delivers a fully realized dual-manual stage solution.
