XM-1 Drawbar
Sound Module and XMc-1 Drawbar Controller

Finally,
A True-HAMMOND MIDI Drawbar Module!

The HAMMOND XM-1 Drawbar Sound Module and
XMc-1 Drawbar Controller are the closest thing to
having a B-3 and Leslie in your playing rig.
 The original B-3’s size and weight have
always been a problem. Some musicians choose the
XB-2 keyboard or the XB-5 Pro-Portable organ, but
others simply want a true Tonewheel Organ-sound
MIDI Module and real-time drawbar controller
since they already own excellent keyboards or
other MIDI controllers.  

The XM-1 is
the MIDI Drawbar Sound Module that really sounds like a
B-3, as only HAMMOND could make it!

The XM-1 is the latest professional solution
to the weight/size problem which all HAMMOND
players have been trying to solve since the
introduction of the Tonewheel Generator.
Beginning in the 1960’s, portable organs and
keyboards were developed as light-weight
alternatives to the B-3, such as the Porta-B
(really an L-100 in a portable case), X-2, X-5,
B-200, and most recently, the XB-2 keyboard and
XB-5 Pro-Portable organ.  Although these
earlier HAMMOND models offered several good
alternatives to carrying a B-3,  many
musicians recently requested that HAMMOND design
a rack mountable / stand alone self-contained
MIDI Drawbar Sound Module with true HAMMOND
sounds, an adjustable Drawbar Controller that
offers continuously adjustable or
“real-time” Drawbars plus the ability
to change percussion, vibrato and other general
settings with easily accessible controls; all
without having to make software changes.

HAMMOND engineers developed the XM-1 Drawbar
Sound Module and matching XMc-1 Drawbar
Controller which together, feature all of the
playing features found in a B-3 – separate
drawbars for upper, lower and pedals, Percussion,
Chorus & Vibrato, etc., plus they added full
MIDI implementation, reverb, and a
state-of-the-art Leslie simulator which features
adjustable Rise, Fall and Brake times as well as
adjustable slow and fast speeds for 10 different
Leslie’s including the famous 122, 147, 710, 760
and 825 series.  The HAMMOND XM-1 / XMc-1
pair is an excellent choice for professional and
amateur organists / keyboard players worldwide
who absolutely require the classic HAMMOND sound,
but in a full featured MIDI Module with a
real-time Drawbar Controller. 

Complete XM-1 Touring
Packages including Leslie’s, road cases and other
custom options are available from GOFF Professional.
If you need the best HAMMOND Sound Module that
can be rack mounted or used as a stand-alone
unit, the HAMMOND XM-1 is the professional
choice!

The True
HAMMOND Drawbar Sound of the B-3

The new HAMMOND XM-1 recreates all of the
idiosyncrasies of the original electro-mechanical
Tonewheel Generator organs, including key click,
tone generator crosstalk; preamplifier overdrive
/ distortion and the famous HAMMOND
 Drawbars.  These tonal nuances
were successfully captured using HAMMOND’s latest
V.A.S.E. sound generating system and form the
basis for the classic sound.  The XM-1 and
XMc-1 were meant to be stand-alone units in lieu
of rack mount as HAMMOND players need continuous
access to the drawbars and module together for
easy changes, which are an important part of the
true tonewheel generator sound. As many studio
and touring professional HAMMOND players have
stated, the XM-1 has the finest and most accurate
Chorus of any other product
other than a true B-3, C-3, A-100 or similar
model organ.

Back to
Basics

The new XM-1 / XMc-1 pair weighs under 8
pounds and is the best choice for
players requiring the real HAMMOND sound in a
full feature MIDI Drawbar Sound Module which is
either rack mountable or a stand-alone unit, all
at a very reasonable cost.  

Original Old
Features and Special New Ones!

In the true tradition of the original B-3, the
XM-1 / XMc-1 pair features HAMMOND percussion,
vibrato / chorus and many new features at the
request of professional organists and keyboard
players, including special items found on GOFF
Professional custom
touring quality HAMMOND’s such as adjustable
percussion volume, adjustable chorus level,
reverb, Percussion / Drawbar volume correction
and other special options.    It
can be split into Upper, Lower and Pedals and
controlled from a Master Controller as a true
B-3.

Full MIDI
Implementation Highlights

• The HAMMOND XM-1 can perform in virtually
  any MIDI environment. as a 3-part
  multi-timbral instrument for separate
  upper, lower and pedal keyboards. SEND
  and RECEIVE channels are programmable.
• 32-polyphonic and 16-part multi-timbral
  performance capability; data can be saved
  to a MIDI data recorder via a MIDI Data
  Dump feature.

On-Board
HAMMOND Drawbar Patch Library

• The HAMMOND XM-1 contains a built-in
  library of 128 HAMMOND drawbar patches.
  100 are factory programmed and represent
  the most commonly used B-3 drawbar
  settings in Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Country,
  Rock and other music styles. The
  remaining patches can be user-defined
  custom patches and saved either as
  patches or as one of five presets
  controlled individually from the XMc-1
  Drawbar Controller. All presets can be
  user defined and programmed.

Equipped
with a State-of-the-Art Programmable Leslie
Simulator

• A specially designed, totally
  programmable Leslie simulator allows the
  user to customize and store up to 10
  different Leslie simulations.
  This is an especially important feature,
  as the XM-1 allows the user to experience
  the inherent differences among the
  classic tube Leslie model
  122, known for its mellow sound;
  the 147 and its brighter sound; the
  solid-state models 710, known for
  its mellower sound among solid-state
  Leslie’s and equipped with a Rotosonic
  Drum; the “classic rock”
  screaming Model 760; and the Pro-Line
  single-rotor Model 825.  The XM-1’s
  alterable Leslie parameters include
  microphone placement, distance, angle,
  rise, fall and brake times, slow and fast
  speeds, horn and bass rotor volume
  balance.   Since a Leslie
  speaker is so much a part of the total
  HAMMOND sound, the XM-1 features many
  internal Leslie options for almost any
  musical environment.

Equipped
with 1/4″ Line Out Jack – Stereo
or Mono

• A 1/4″ Line Out jack allows the
  XM-1/XMc-1 to be directly connected to a
  separate sound system, Leslie 302 or to
  other Leslie model such as a 122, 147,
  etc. when used in conjunction with any
  Leslie or TREK UC-1 Combo Pedal Preamp.
  If the 1/4″ Line Out jack is used
  with a Pedal Preamp and Leslie, PRO-3T or
  another rotary horn device or simulator,
  turn the XM-1’s on-board Leslie simulator
  OFF.

Custom
Leslie Connector Kits are Available For Direct
Plug-in to many Leslie models including 122, 147
and most 11-pin model Leslie’s

A custom Leslie connector located on the rear
panel of the XM-1 allows it to be connected to
many Leslie’s through special Leslie Connector
Kits designed specifically for this
purpose. The optional Connector Kits are as
follows:

• XM-22 Connector Kit – for direct
  plug-in to Leslie models including the
  21H,
  22H, 31H (above serial number 5200), 122,
  122A, 122V, 122RV, 142, 222, 222RV, etc.
  and most other balanced-line models
  equipped with a 21H, 22H, 31H (above SN
  5200), or 122 amplifier.
• XM-47 Connector Kit – for direct
  plug-in to Leslie models including the 25, 125, 225, 45,

Although the on-board Leslie simulator
performs in a superior fashion to other Leslie
simulation devices, for the very best in classic
HAMMOND sound reproduction, GOFF Professional
recommends that a Leslie be used.  Please
