THE PERFECT CLONE. HAMICHORD
M-C3 ORGAN MIDI CONTROLLER
When you think about an instrument clone, you think about an instrument that you would like as close as possible to the original vintage sound you love.
An organ emulation moves towards ultimate perfection as it gets closer and closer. The trouble is: in the past when the player has thought about a clone of that vintage organ sound, they considered the quality of the sound but not so much about the feeling of the hardware, positioning of knobs and selection tabs.
The Hamichord is “perfect”!
It is the same well-loved layout you will find only in the original, vintage electromagnetic organ. You have found it here!
Percussion tabs are on the right with vibrato tabs on the left having 4 full sets of 9 drawbars with pedal drawbars and the very-familiar, classic reverse- colored keys for presets. The Hamichord is set-up for easy preset controlling like the original. It doesn't stop there - having the authentic vibrato selection knob and rotary speaker speed selection switch positioned in the right place. Tired of the buttons with the LEDs and controls in the wrong place? The Hamichord has everything in the
RIGHT place. It operates exactly like the analog original's interface. If you are at home with the vintage original then you will be at home with the Hamichord including having to start the organ.
In its full configuration ( Meaning M-C3 + Exp-edition ) Hamichord has a PC running Microsoft Windows XP-embedded that runs your favorite organ software, by default we choose
GSI VB3 in our opinion the best
organ emulation.. Computer knowledge not needed! The Hamichord means just plug and play. For those who would enjoy getting in there deeper - a new world of possibilities comes to life that maybe only you have thought of. Windows XP embedded is world renown for absolute stability in industrial applications. It wakes up in 25 seconds and without noise of fans or power supply. This is perfectly suited to working with live music, especially the recording environment having no worries about CPU temperature/fan speed, power supply fan noise, latency or the common concerns with computer-based sound equipment with home computer boards/laptops. You can update Hamichord with your favorite organ software for many years to come.
Think
about this: your organ hardware is the same as in 1935 and will be the same
forever but with one big twist - you now only have to change your sound engine!!!
Don't waste your money and your time buying new organ clones only to go out of date shortly thereafter.
Save your money. Buy a Hamichord and then all you need to upgrade is to buy new software. Hamichord Mk II offers some new features and the
power of upgrading is now at TOP!!!
Hamichord MC-3 is the MIDI controller unit and using it as standalone, you can drive your favorite software or expander directly via MIDI out: all the classic features of the original electromagnetic organ under your hands! Feel free to use your external module or your favourite VST and Hamichord M-C3 will take care of presets, drawbars, percussions and so on, doesn’t matter if the sound you are using doesn’t have, for example, the support for the 4 set of drawbars: the feature is managed by the microcontroller inside the M-C3!
If you want you can later expand your Hamichord system adding the “sound engine”
( Hamichord exp-edition)
composed by a standard rack module perfectly fitting inside your Hamichord controller, so just connect the special plug and you have a fully working Hamichord: just plug and play!!!
Optional: Hamichord exp-edition - Hamichord Gig Bag - Stand for Organ
