First, the Electro 4 is available without drawbars and with 73 keys (better for organ splits and the excellent pianos) and more sample memory than the drawbar model which is the 61key Electro 4D. So there's the 73SW (73 waterfall keys) and 73HP (73 piano keys).
Nord have 2 draw button control change speeds (fast & slow!) which is a global setting.
When you save a program, all changes are made (for the whole organ). A quirk is that each program memory location applies 4 instrument presets (separate buttons which double as the 4 live preset selectors). They can all be the Hammond model if you want to give you 4 different presets for a song, but a preset could also hold a piano, a Farfisa organ, clavinet and a sampled synth pad for another song.
Hammond with motorized drawbars - does it exist?

I know that this is an old thread, but since it is about the existence of motorised drawbars... now they exist! Dexibell Combo J7

Finally somebody that got the need for it. Thanks for the tip.footbridge wrote:I know that this is an old thread, but since it is about the existence of motorised drawbars... now they exist! Dexibell Combo J7
I don't think the latest Hammond XK5 has it either. But with four sets of drawbars the need might be less - you can switch between many sounds without touching drawbars.
Got an XK3c eventually and am fine with that.

At the start, LFM wrote "But drawbars were also a touchstrip or something - not physical drawbar."
So now there's the new Vox (Korg) Continental with touch strips and LED's. That should be as good as you can get without real motorised drawbars, but I'd be keen to hear from anyone that's tried them.

That is pretty cool. I've always thought that (hardware) synths with motorized faders and pots would be cool too, but the additional cost...footbridge wrote:I know that this is an old thread, but since it is about the existence of motorised drawbars... now they exist! Dexibell Combo J7
I just clicked the link to the Behringer BCF2000 posted earlier and was re-directed to a page that said it's no longer available, with one of the recommended replacements being the Behringer X-Touch Compact which has 9 motorized faders.
