the Hammond a-305 chapel console organ
The now disconti
nued Hammond A-305 was the absolute best value in
the entire Hammond Organ
line for many years until the introduction of the new A-405. Even
though discontinued, the Hammond A-305 is still a masterpiece,
combining graceful cabinet styling with a self-contained sound system
to produce the ultimate in Hammond décor and sound. Here then is
the copy from our old web site, back in the day when the A-305 was new
technology. If you are interested in an A-305, you will love
the new A-405 and the price is nearly the same. Give us a call...
New Sampling Technology
Now, an all-new sound engine captures not only the sound and feel of a Hammond
Tone Wheel Generator, but high-quality digital voices and sounds as well.
Hammond has
recreated the idiosyncrasies of the electro-mechanical tone wheel generator,
such as the Drawbar foldbacks at the top and bottom octaves, the variances in
key click, and the effect of overdriving an amplifier. The total effect of the
A-305 is the sound and feel of the B-3 right down to the new six-position
Vibrato and Chorus Control Knob. MIDI
The A-305 can perform in virtually any MIDI
environment. SEND and RECEIVE channels are programmable. And the manuals can be
"mapped" to selectively play the internal voices or voices from a connected
MIDI device. Extra Voice
The A-305 c
ontains a complete General MIDI-compatible voice library consisting
of over 270 high-quality digitally sampled sounds such as Stereo Grand Piano,
Stereo Strings, even a new breathy Stereo Saxophone. In addition, 10 drum kits
are provided to further enhance your playing. And, you can use the Drawbars to
adjust the volume of the Extra Voices while you're playing.Presets
Nine programmable Presets are available for Swell, Great and Pedal divisions .
These can be easily programmed with your own settings.3 1/2 Inch Disc Drive
Using this feature, you can record and store your own Preset Banks or complete
performances, as well as play back Standard MIDI File data. Leslie®
