TRY MAKING YOUR OWN SOUND
You will be able to produce your own sound by using the exclusive features of your
HAMMOND ORGAN, such as Drawbars, Percussion, Vibrato/Chorus, Overdrive,
and the Leslie effects. Let’s go through the first steps:
Select the Preset Key [B]
Pull out the B Drawbars
Add Percussion
Select the Preset Key [B] first.
The Presets Key [A<] and [B] are special Presets called “Adjust Pre-
sets”, directly connected with A< Drawbars and B Drawbars respec-
tively. That means the Drawbar registrations on the panel and the inter-
nal registration, each position of tablets or knobs and internal values
correspond with each other.
Selecting these keys are helpful when you create a new registration or
when you want to manually operate the Drawbars while playing.
NOTE: You can initialize the contents to the default setting. (P.
95)
Pull out the B Drawbars on the left-hand side to any length, while
playing the Swell(Upper) manual.
The tones vary corresponding to how far the Drawbars are “Pulled”.
The Drawbars create the fundamental tones of this organ.
The volume increases as each Drawbar is pulled out to its full length.
And decreases as it is pushed back in. The tones of the Drawbars gradu-
ally get higher in frequency from left to right.
The most popular patterns or registrations are (1) to pull out only all
the three left side Drawbars to the full, (2) to pull the far-left and only
the white bars to the full, or (3) to pull all the bars.
NOTE: You can change the characteristics of the Drawbars. (P.
72)
NOTE: The present registration is shown on the “Play” mode
display. (P. 65)
The “Percussion” referred to here is not a percussion instrument itself,
but an extra voice which adds a clear-cut “attack” to the organ sound.
You can add this “attack” to mix with the Drawbar sound when you
want.
Percussion sounds only when using Swell Manual preset [B]. This is
the same as on the vintage B-3.
Switch the percussion tab to “On”, the percussion voice will speak. An
octave up(second) or a twelfth up(third) by using the [PERCUSSION
HARMONIC SELECTOR] tab. Switch the decay time by [PERCUS-
SION DECAY] and the volume by [PERCUSSION VOLUME].
NOTE: The volume etc. of Percussion can be finely set. (P. 74)
