To fully utilizing this unit, read the following detailed explanations about the various functions for creating music. ORGAN SECTION TONE-WHEELS The sound source or “engine” of the classic Hammond Organ are the electro-magnetic Tone-Wheel Generators. On this keyboard, the Tone Wheel engine is replicated digitally. While the power is on, each of the 96 virtual Tone-Wheels keeps oscillating as they did in the vintage Hammond Organs.
ORGAN SECTION ORGAN TYPE There are various “Organ” types: the Hammond Tone-Wheel organs used in everywhere rock, jazz, and Gospel, the transistor organ frequently heard in pop music of ‘60’s. Classical pipe organ used in classical music or church services. All organs have characteristic sounds. The keyboard will sound like the types of organ you choose. TONE-WHEELS (BType1, BType2, Mellow) These are various types of Hammond Organs’ characteristic tone wheels.
Column: SELECTING THE ORGAN TYPES Use the control panel for switching the organ types. Example: Switching the manual part to “Pipe” DRAWBARS SELECT 1 Press the [UPPER] and [LOWER] buttons together. The DRAWBAR function mode is displayed and the organ type (“BType1” etc.) of the manual keyboard presently selected blinks. ORGAN TYPE MENU/ EXIT UPPER PEDAL VALUE LOWER PLAY NUMBER 2 UPPER NUMBER 3 PEDAL NAME PATCH LOWER Select “Pipe” with the [VALUE] knob.
HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ The 9 Drawbars on this keyboard are used to create the basic “Hammond” sounds. Each Drawbar is marked with the register numbers 1 - 8 along the flat part of the Drawbar. If you push back a Drawbar until you cannot see any number at all, the sound of the Drawbar is not heard. If you pull it out to the fullest position the sound level is maximum. When recalling a patch, the drawbars’ “positions” will change internally, but not physically.
DRAWBARS FOR THE UPPER AND LOWER PARTS WHITE DRAWBARS 16' 51/3' 8' 4' 22/3' 2' 13/5' 11/3' 1' In each Drawbar set, the white Drawbar (8´) on the left side makes the fundamental sound. The other white Drawbars get higher by the octave to the right. BLACK DRAWBARS 16' 51/3' 8' 4' 22/3' 2' 13/5' 11/3' 1' The sounds of the black Drawbars, too, play an important role in building rich tones. Their pitches are fifth and third to the fundamental.
HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ - continued DRAWBAR REGISTRATION PATTERNS The Drawbar Registration is matched by digits. It is easy to remember the typical combinations of the 9 Drawbars by their forms. The Drawbar Registrations are grouped into the following 4 patterns: Flute family (2 step pattern) 16' 51/3' 8' 4' 22/3' 2' Diapason family (check mark pattern) 13/5' 11/3' 1' Accompaniment Flute 8´ I .............. 00 8460 000 Accompaniment Flute 8´ II .............
MODERN DRAWBAR REGISTRATIONS The Drawbar registrations introduced on the previous page are typically for classical music. They were created at the dawn of the Hammond Organ, when it was intended to sound like a pipe or church organ. Later on, as the Hammond Organ spread throughout Jazz, Pop, Rock and (especially) Gospel music, Some timeless registrations become common.
HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ - continued DRAWBARS (Vx) 16´ 4´ 8´ 2´ III II IV at Middle “C” The original British Vx type organ was equipped with Drawbars, but the function was different from that of the Hammond Organ. The vintage arrangement has been re-created here. Each of the 4 bars on the left functions similarly to the Hammond Organ. II, III and IV on the right are “Mixture” drawbars that sound plural pitches.
DRAWBARDS (Farf) Strings 8´ Strings 4´ Trumpet 8´ Piccolo 4´ Strings 16´ Oboe 8´ Flute 4´ Bass 16´ Flute 8´ Strings 16´ 8´ Oboe 8´ at Middle “C” Filters Bass 16´ 16´ The original Italian Farf type organ was tablet-equipped with different sounds at various footages. On this keyboard the operation is made with Drawbars instead of tablets. At the same footage, the tablets gives grow brighter in sound as you progress to the right. The names “Flute”, “Strings”, etc.
HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ - continued DRAWBARS (PIPE) Open Viole Bourdon Diapason Gedeckt Celeste 16´ 8´ 8´ II UPPER: LOWER: PEDAL: Principal Principal Melodia 16´ 8´ 8´ Sub Bass 16´ + Gedeckt 8´ Rohr Flute 8´ Octave 4´ Flauto Dolce 4´ Flute 2´ Prestant 4´ Flute 4´ Super Octave 2´ Mixture Hautbois 8´ III Mixture IV Trompette 8´ Principal Chorus + Mixture IV When using the PIPE organ type, the stops are registered through the Drawbars, and follow the classic organ layout left to right as follo
DRAWBAR SELECT ASSIGN DRAWBARS TO PARTS Upper Registration Physical Drawbars On UPPER PEDAL e abl En LOWER Lower Registration Disable Dis a bl e Pedal Registration Press This keyboard has 3 parts; UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL. On the SK1, the keyboard is usually assigned to the UPPER, and, when you want to sound the LOWER, PEDAL, use the Split / Manual Bass Function or connect a MIDI keyboard and/or Pedalboard and assign each part.
PERCUSSION Organ tones are normally heard as long as the playing key is held down. The word “Percussion” refers to a tone that is not steady and fades away, such as a piano or chimes. This keyboard has Percussion tones which enhance the sounds produced by the Drawbars. “Touch-Response Percussion” is very useful for highlighting single notes, full chords, even entire songs. [SECOND] button The 2nd harmonic speaks at the same pitch as the 4´ Drawbar.
VIBRATO & CHORUS The Hammond Vibrato & Chorus is another hallmark of the Classic Hammond sound. Vibrato alters the pitch slightly, as a violinist, singer, or guitarist may do. And Chorus combines a detuned signal with the original for a lush tone. ORGAN TYPE [UPPER] button Pressing [UPPER] button “ON” (red LED lit) will turn the Vibrato & Chorus effect on for the UPPER Drawbars. [LOWER] button Pressing [UPPER] button “ON” (red LED lit) will turn the Vibrato & Chorus effect on for the LOWER Drawbars.

MIDI
ABOUT MIDI WHAT IS “MIDI”? MIDI is an abbreviation of ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’. MIDI is the musical instrument industry standard for exchanging performance information between electronic musical instruments and a sequencer, effects, lighting, and sound reinforcement gear, etc. The MIDI standard allows instruments made by different manufacturers to effectively communicate with each other.
MIDI CHANNEL MIDI has 16 “Channels”. Information divided into 16 channels can be transmitted through one MIDI cable. The channel must match between the sender and the receiver. If not, the machines can not “hear” what the other “says”. MAIN MIDI MESSAGE The MIDI information is grouped into a channel message per each of the 16 channels and a system message for all channels. There are more details in the MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART.
MIDI STRUCTURE This keyboard has “Keyboard Channels” to transmit playing information of the keyboards and “External Zone Channels” to control external MIDI equipment on the keyboards.

Call the others than the “Use Ex. or Extra Voice” of MIDI template (P. 114) OUT (MERGE) MIDI Pedalboard IN The performance can be recorded by Keyboard channels.
USING A MIDI SOUND MODULE 111 You can control an external MIDI sound module with the built-in keyboard and the expanded MIDI keyboard. USB MEMORY PHONES MIDI OUT MIDI Keyboard Optional OUT (MERGE) IN MIDI Pedalboard MIDI IN MIDI Sound Module 1. Connect as illustrated. Connect the MIDI OUT of this organ to the MIDI IN of the MIDI sound module. 2. Call the MIDI template “Use Ex. xxx”. (P. 114) By this, the External Zone performance is sent from the MIDI OUT instead of Keyboard channels.
ZONES To control external MIDI equipment, ranges on the keyboard of this instrument are assigned. They are called “External Zones”. The range of the built-in sound engine on this keyboard (called “Internal Zone”) is set at the same time. You can use each separately on a single manual keyboard. Each MIDI keyboard connected to the MIDI IN jack can control the external MIDI equipment with the external zone. ❼ SK1’s ❶ ❽ ❷ ❸ MENU/ EXIT ENTER See “Function mode” (P. 68) for operation details.
NOTE - OCTAVE MESSAGE - DAMPER Sets octave shift of this zone. If an external synthesizer sound in a different octave from that you desire, adjust this parameter. The setting range is -2 to +2. Sets whether to send the damper information to this zone. NOTE - VOLUME NOTE: The parameters in these modes are patch parameters, and are recorded to the patch. Sets the volume (Control Change #7) of this zone. However, if CC# (20) is at “VOL”, this setting value is null.
