Operation Manual
*#1 $OM%OM$2OMOwner’s Manual
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
The Hammond B-3 is the most popular organ evermade, and its sound is legendary. We have
designed this model to be true and authentic to the exact vintage detail, as well as providing a
large variety of modern features that allow greater flexibility no matter the musical style you wish
to play. This Owner’s Manual is designed to explain the operating features of this Hammond
organ as simply and graphically as possible.
Because we want to make this manual, as well as the keyboard itself, as easy to understand as
possible, the explanations in this manual are grouped by subject matter, and not in the order in
which they necessarily appear in the display (the screen in the left of the keyboard front panel).
For example, all functions pertaining to Drawbars are grouped together, all Percussion features
are treated as a group, and so on.
Also, each feature is treated as an explanation unto itself, and does not require you to already
have prior working knowledge of some other feature. The explanations are presented such that, if
you follow the steps, will be identical to that shown in the manual at that stage of the explanation.
Do not be daunted by the number of steps required to perform each operation. Each step is
simple. Simply bear these things in mind:
1. Read each step carefully.
2. Don’t skip any of the steps.
3. Don’t perform the steps out of sequence.
With these guidelines, you are well on your way to mastering all of the many sounds and features
of your Hammond organ.
