Hammond’s organ expertise can be traced to 1935, but the release of 1955’s B-3 and famed organist Jimmy Smith’s prolific pension for the instrument have forever cemented Hammond’s legacy as the foremost name in designing and manufacturing electric organs. Their M-Solo refines nearly a century of well-honed knowledge into a travel-friendly, 49-key organ that pulls no punches in its sonic spread. From the iconic drawbars and vintage-inspired interfacing to cutting-edge connectivity and a dual-oscillator synth engine, the M-Solo seeks to give on-the-go organists an uncompromising armature of multifaceted sound. Daniel Fisher, Sweetwater’s consort of keys, takes the M-Solo for a spin to see how Hammond’s hues hold up in their most portable organ ever. Check it out!

Vintage sounds never die. Boy, did that bring back memories.
Daniel is such a killer keyboard player man, love to see him ripping it up
I am not an Organ Guy, but wow, am I impressed with the quality of the sound and versatility!! Thanks for the demonstration!!! You may have just turned me into the next Hammond Guy!!!
Saucerful of Secrets… very cool love some Rick Wright.
Wow this came out of nowhere!!
Looks superb and sounds superb
Holy shit, that synth part of the demo was incredible, as was the sound of the Ace organ.
7:07 Instant Rick Wakeman!😂
Perfect form factor
first thing I said 😁looks very nice too
@@EBMZEQUENZERburgundy colour even better than black
Wonderful! 🎹🎶
The biggest Takeaway from this demo is how the M-Solo model only seems to be lacking the fifth octave of keys. If that’s too simple or incomplete of a summation, please say so. If I’m not mistaken, none of the other Hammond keyboards from recent years have included additional synthesizer circuitry built-in.
Also seen reviews online saying the keys not very good to play as they are not waterfall keys, possibly synth action. I haven't played so can't comment
Looks like a great bit of live kit. Waterfall keys? Neat to see voice & string on there. Hope this does not get overlooked like the Waldorf STVC, which admittedly is a different thing, but also looks like a great bit of kit.
Sounds better than the STVC …
My wallet is lucky I'm not gigging anymore! Otherwise, I'd have to have one of these. Great demo, great sounding organ.
I think the overall weakness is the leslie is not adjustable far as I can see.. There are some who complained the top speed was too fast but listening to it I didn't find it too fast, though it would be nice to adjust, like you can the click and leakage as well as the keys action response.
I have one, it is a bit fast and I do wish it were adjustable. I also find the percussion to be a bit harsh in the hi frequency range. What are you using for amplification ??
Is it possible to add this functionality with update pack?
3 kings came to the history of music, as in the Bible. Hammond FenderRhodes piano and Moog and these 3 kings will remain reigning until the end of the world.
I am hearing there is a glitch of hanging notes.. there was an upgrade in December 2023 but the hanging note still happens, that needs to be fixed, cant have that at a show.
Mine has experienced the note hang, once.
@@innerfire-graham9016mine, too!
True test is when you go to those single note runs....don't get cut on those keys!
Would beat lugging my A100 around
Hahha nice to head some Pink Floyd here and there :p
Great job but how about wooly bully watch it now 😅
Does this keyboard support a second keyboard (over midi) for emulation of an actual B3 with two keybeds?
Hi, thanks for your interest! You can connect a second keyboard via MIDI, but the M-Solo only has one sound generator, so this wouldn’t be a good emulation of a B-3. It’s really intended to be a portable solution to get quality organ sounds from a single keyboard. To get an instrument with two sound generators, one of which can be controlled from a second keyboard, you would need to step up to the XK-1c in Hammond’s product lineup.
Hope this helps a bit - feel free to contact me directly with any further questions, and thanks again!
