HAMMOND CS-685

De CS 685 is gebaseerd op de Content D 6800.

De Hammond CS-685 is  op klassiek gebied een waar meesterwerk. Een prachtig, weliswaar typisch Amerikaans ontwerp, dat echter overal ter wereld aftrek vond tot in de Filippijnen toe. Hieronder een Engelstalig stukje uit het blad Hammond Times uit 2003 over de markt  introduktie van dit veelomvattende instrument.

The CS-685 represents a very dramatic step forward, states Michael Wojnar, National Institutional Sales Manager:
 

This is a direct result of requests from our dealer organization for a larger Concert Series model with drawknobs and expanded capabilities.
The expanded RASS (Regenerated Analyzed Sampling System) tone generating engine in the CS-685 permits unparalleled realism in the reproduction of pipe organ sounds by allowing minute control of the harmonic structure of each stop or rank, says Dennis Fioramonti, Executive Vice President:
 

This new system allows the personal influence of the organist in adapting the ranks, as well as more authentic sound. Variable tone and chorus controls are provided to give the player the ability to easily create the overall organ sound he or she desires."
