Hammond M-Solo Burgundy

Hammond M-Solo Burgundy: The smallest and lightest real Hammond ever

The Hammond M-Solo Burgundy is a synthesizer organ that continues the legacy of the legendary Hammond B-3 in a modern and compact way. The inspiration behind this model lies in the classic organs and synthesizers of the 1960s and 70s, which shaped entire generations of music with their unmistakable sound. With the M-Solo, Hammond has managed to combine these classic sounds in a compact and lightweight instrument that is particularly suitable for mobile use on stage and in studios.

The M-Solo Burgundy embodies the typical Hammond sound in a versatile format. From the deep, rich sound of the B-3 organ to modern synthesizer sounds, this instrument offers an impressive range of timbres suitable for almost any musical genre. Weighing only 3.6 kilograms and measuring 731 mm wide, it is the smallest and lightest true Hammond organ ever developed. With four octaves and 49 keys, this solo manual offers a velocity-sensitive keyboard that is ideal for both organ and synthesizer players.

Hammond: A name with tradition and innovation

Hammond has been a leading manufacturer of organs and synthesizers for decades. The original models, such as the famous B-3, shaped the sound of gospel, blues and rock music and are still indispensable for many musicians today. Hammond has always distinguished itself through technical innovation and excellent craftsmanship. With the M-Solo Burgundy, Hammond proves once again that they can combine the best of traditional organ technology with modern digital features.

Hammond organs have always been regarded as the queen of electric organs. They have a firm place in music history and are appreciated by legendary musicians such as Jon Lord of Deep Purple or Joey DeFrancesco. With the M-Solo, Hammond continues this tradition and offers a contemporary version for musicians who are looking for both classic and modern sound in one instrument.

Technical details of the Hammond M-Solo Burgundy

The Hammond M-Solo Burgundy has six different sound sections that offer a remarkable variety of musical expression. In addition to the classic B-3 organ, there are also other vintage sounds such as Vox, Farfisa, ACE-Tone and a string ensemble in the style of the 70s. This wide range of sounds is complemented by the synthesizer section, which is equipped with two oscillators. Thanks to the low-pass filter with envelope and the VCA envelope, synthetic sounds can be processed in detail and adapted to personal sound preferences.

A special highlight is the virtual Leslie effect, which simulates the characteristic rotating loudspeaker sound of Hammond organs. The M-Solo also offers vibrato, chorus, percussion, overdrive, delay and reverb. These effects allow the player to shape the sound individually and adapt it to the respective musical styles. The nine drawbars give the instrument an authentic Hammond feel, while the pitch bend provides additional creative expression.

The M-Solo Burgundy is not only versatile, but also user-friendly. It has several connection options, including a headphone output (6.3 mm), mono/stereo outputs (6.3 mm), an aux input (3.5 mm) with volume control as well as MIDI In/Out and USB HOST MIDI. This makes the instrument ideal not only for live performances, but also for studio recordings. The dimensions of 731 x 274 x 85 mm and the low weight of 3.6 kg also make the M-Solo particularly portable and easy to transport.
