Hammond A-405 Chapel Organ
(Discontinued)
Some years ago when we first say the prototype of the Hammond A-405 we were quite excited about its prospects. Little did we know that what we saw back then was only a small hint of what the A-405 would ultimately become. The Hammond A-405 is, beyond any doubt, the best value today in the entire Hammond Organ line, offering the most features at a very affordable price.
New Sampling Technology
Now
using the same sound engine as the Hammond New B-3, the A-405
captures not only the sound of a Hammond Tone Wheel Organ but has
recreated the idiosyncrasies of the electro-mechanical tone wheel
generator, such as the Drawbar fold-backs at the top and bottom
octaves, the variances in key click, and the effect of overdriving
an amplifier. The overall impression of the A-405 is the sound
and feel of the B-3 right down to the six-position Vibrato and
Chorus control knob.
MIDI Capabilities
The A-405 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 Voices & Presets
The
A-405 contains a complete General MIDI-compatible voice library
consisting of over 880 newly sampled, high-quality sounds such as
Stereo Grand Piano, Stereo Strings, even a new breathy Stereo
Saxophone. In addition, 56 drum kits are provided to further
enhance your playing. Nine banks of nine (81 total)
programmable Presets are available for Swell, Great, and Pedal
divisions. These can be easily programmed with your own
settings.
Flash Drive
Using
the flash drive you can record and store your own Preset Banks or
complete performances, as well as play back Standard MIDI File data.
Each player can store his/her personal presets and sequences to
their own USB flash drive, making the A-405 truly flexible when
several players share the instrument.
Improved Power and Fidelity
An improved, high-quality digital Leslie is provided, with adjustments for Slow and Fast Speeds, Rise, Fall, and Brake Times, and even Microphone Settings. The amplifier (100 watts) and speaker system (1-15" bass woofer, 2-8" full-range, and 2-2" tweeters) have been upgraded to provide improved power and remarkable fidelity. For larger venues, the model 981 Leslie Speaker cabinet is recommended for use with the A-405. However, any 11-pin Leslie Speaker cabinet can be used. The rotors can be operated in three modes: Off, Slow, or Fast.
We have other consoles perfectly suited for church, home, or studio. Please Call (877) 432-5700 for more information.
