[[Frequency divider organ]]s used [[oscillator]]s instead of mechanical parts to make sound. These were even cheaper and more portable than the Hammond. They featured an ability to bend [[Pitch (music)|pitches]].

From the 1940s up until the 1970s, small organs were sold that simplified traditional organ stops. These instruments can be considered the predecessor to modern portable [[Musical Keyboard|keyboards]], as they included one-touch chords, rhythm and accompaniment devices, and other electronically assisted gadgets. [[Lowrey organ|Lowrey]] was the leading manufacturer of this type of organs in the smaller (spinet) instruments.

In the 1960s and 1970s, a type of simple, portable electronic organ called the [[combo organ]] was popular, especially with pop, [[Ska]] (in the late 1970s and early 1980s) and rock bands, and was a signature sound in the rock music of the period, such as [[The Doors]] and [[Iron Butterfly]]. The most popular combo organs were manufactured by [[Farfisa]] and [[Vox (musical equipment)|Vox]].

[[Conn-Selmer]] and [[Rodgers Instruments|Rodgers]], dominant in the market for larger instruments, also made electronic organs that used [[Electronic organ#Separate oscillators|separate oscillators]] for each note rather than frequency dividers, giving them a richer sound, closer to a pipe organ, due to the slight imperfections in tuning.

[[Electronic organ#Pipe/electronic hybrid organs|Hybrids]], starting in the early 20th century,<ref name=TheIllustrationNewspaper1934>[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001RH0B68 Synthetic Radio Organ Church Diagram French Print 1934], The ILlustration Newspaper of 1934, Paris</ref> incorporate a few ranks of pipes to produce some sounds, and use electronic circuits or digital samples for other sounds and to resolve borrowing collisions. Major manufacturers include [[Allen Organ|Allen]], Walker, [[John Compton (organ builder)|Compton]], Wicks, Marshall & Ogletree, Phoenix, Makin Organs, Wyvern Organs and [[Rodgers Instruments|Rodgers]].
