SOUND ENGINE STRUCTURE 30 SYSTEM STRUCTURE OF THIS KEYBOARD *# 1 :- Owner’s Manual
To fully enjoy playing this keyboard, please read the following section of this manual. See the illustrated System Structure of your keyboard on the left page. TONE-WHEELS The sound source or “engine” of Hammond Organ is the Tone-wheels. They are like the strings and pick-ups on the electric guitar. While running, each of the 96 Tone-wheels keeps oscillating at a different pitch/frequency. KEYS Each of the sound signals made by the 96 Tone-wheels is switched at each key.
DRAWBARS™ 32 The 9 Drawbars (plus 2 for the Pedal) on this keyboard are used to make the basic sounds. Each Drawbar is marked with the numbers 1 - 8. If you push back the Drawbar until you can not 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. Except when the Preset Key is B, the actual Drawbar Registration is the value displayed in the (display-)window.
WHITE DRAWBARS In each Drawbar set, the white Drawbar (8') on the left end makes the basic/fundamental sound. The other white Drawbars get higher by the octave to the right. BLACK DRAWBARS The sounds of the black Drawbars, too, play important roles in building rich tones. Their pitches are fifth and third to the fundamental. They contain the elements of all different harmonics of such as the sweet and soft horn, mellow strings and so on.
DRAWBAR REGISTRATION PATTERNS The Drawbar Registration is matched by digits, if precisely. However, in the usual play, it is rather reasonable to remember the typical combinations of the 9 Drawbars by their forms/shapes.
Diapason family (check mark pattern) Accomp.
3 SETS OF DRAWBARS AND PARTS On this keyboard, there are 3 Parts: UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL, and each of them has the corresponding Drawbars. The manual on the keyboard is usually assigned to the UPPER position. If you want to play the LOWER or PEDAL Part, use the Split or Manual Bass functions, or connect the MIDI keyboard and assign each part. There are lamps(= LED's) in front of the two sets of 9 Drawbars, marked with “UPPER/ B” and “LOWER/A#”. They indicate the assignment of the Drwabar Sets.
PERCUSSION 37 The attack feeling of the percussion is a Hammond exclusive. Percussion is usually used with the Drawbar sound. [SECOND] BUTTON The second harmonic, or 4' Drawbar decay, is added to the UPPER Part. To use this, press the [SECOND] button , and the LED will light. [THIRD] BUTTON The third harmonic, or 2 2/3' Drawbar decay, is added to the UPPER Part. By mixing it with the Drawbars, power and solidness is obtained. To use this, press the [SECOND] button , and the LED will light.
VIBRATO/CHORUS 38 VIBRATO adds warmth to the tone, by slightly changing the Drawbar pitch at a certain speed. You can also add richness to the sound by mixing the Vibrato sound with the fundamental (= Chorus Effect). [VIBRATO/CHORUS] BUTTON This switches ON and OFF Vibrato/Chorus Effects. It affects on the UPPER and LOWER Part. To get this effect, press the button and the LED will light. [VIBRATO/CHORUS MODE] KNOB This knob controls the depth of Vibrato and switches ON and OFF the Chorus Effect.
TUBE AMP 39 The TUBE (= Vacuum Tube) AMP produces a unique "Tube Feeling" sound. By changing the amount of the Drive, various Tube Sound is obtained, from the unclipped clean to the hard-distorted fuzzy, raspy Overdrive sound. [TUBE AMP] BUTTON This is for determining whether or not to go through the Tube Amp circuit. To get this effect, touch the button and and the LED will light. NOTE: You can see the tube through the ventilation hole on the back.
LESLIE 40 LESLIE EFFECT is the simulated sound of the rotating speakers. If you connect the real Leslie speakers to this keyboard, it controls those (speakers) [ON] BUTTON If you touch this button, the LED will light, and the rotor starts turning. Also the voice is heard thru the rotary channel. [FAST] BUTTON BUTTONS AND LESLIE STATES This switches the speed of the rotor in two steps. It switches every time you touch it. When the LED is ON, it is FAST, and when the LED is off, it is SLOW.
EQUALIZER & REVERB 41 The Equalizer and the Reverb effects give the final touch to the tone. The Equalizer regulates the tone, and the Reverb adds the resonance of the hall performance. You can control portions of their functions on the panel buttons and knobs EQUALIZER [TONE] KNOB One optional Parameter out of the Equalizer is assigned and regulated. When delivered from the factory, TREBLE is assigned, and, as you turn it to the right, the treble is emphasized, and, to the left, the trebel is reduced.
COMBINATION PRESETS 42 The settings you have made can be recorded into the Combination Presets. BANK AND KEY Combination Presets C C# D D# E F Key F# G G# A Adjust B Bank C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B A# B The combination preset chart to the left, shows the [BANK] and the [KEY], information.

USING THE CONTROL PANEL *# 1 :- Owner’s Manual
OPERATION CONTROL PANEL 46 You now know you can do many settings by using the buttons and knobs on your keyboard. You can do even finer settings like the delicate speed of the Leslie Effect or the MIDI equipments, using the display buttons on the Control Panel. There are PLAY, MENU and FUNCTION modes in the display. The buttons and knobs in each mode is explained on the following pages.
PLAY MODE 47 The PLAY MODE is the basic display for all the operations. The necessary informations for the normal play will be displayed. There are two types of PLAY MODE screens to display the Drawbar Registration. One is by showing the length of the bars and the other by digits. How to come to this display: 1. Immediately after powered ON and the start up process is complete, the PLAY mode is displayed. If a different mode is displayed, touch the [PLAY] button. 2.
MENU MODE 48 The MENU mode is the path for each function. How to come to this display: Touch the [MENU] button. There are several pages which contains many various FUNCTION displays. Move from page to page and find the item where you want to go and touch the numbered button to see the desired display. FUNCTION ITEM (If none, blank.) HOW TO READ THE DISPLAY PAGE BUTTON OPERATION IN THIS MENU Moves from a page to another.
FUNCTION MODE 49 The FUNCTION MODE is for making each setting and adjustment. There are many displays, but the basic operation is the same. HOW TO READ THE DISPLAY This shows there are PAGEs above (or below). PARAMETER This shows there is a PAGE on the right (or on the left). CURSOR PAGE NAME VALUE CURSOR (Flashing VALUE) In the display window of this keyboard, the CURSOR is displayed in the flashing style, while the most popular indicatorcursor used on the PC, the mobo, etc.
Example of operation: Adjusting the DECAY TIME of the Percussion [FAST] 1 Go to the MENU Mode. Touch the [MENU] button. The [MENU] mode is displayed. 2 Select the PAGE.

SETTING THE PARAMETERS *# 1 :- Owner’s Manual
DRAWBAR 54 In this mode, you can set the Parameter relating to the Drawbar sound of each part. To come to this mode: Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display MENU, touch the [PAGE] button and select PAGE A and choose [1] DRAWBAR. 9 13 14 10 11 2 3 4 12 5 15 6 7 8 1 Setting the Manual Part (LOWER and UPPER) 1. TONE-WHEEL SET Each Tone-wheel Set allows you to make finer adjustment. (P. 64) TONE-WHEEL Select the TONE-WHEEL SET (waveform) for the manual part. B-type: Mellow: Brite: 2.
8. FOLD-BACK - HIGH This allows you to set at which key the 1' Drawbar starts to FOLD-BACK (= repeat the same octave) in the upper-most range. The set range is 4G - 5C. NOTE: The FOLD-BACK can be set not only on the 1' but also 1 1/3', 1 3/5', 2' and 2 2/3' Drawbars. Setting the PEDAL Part 9. TONE-WHEELS This allows you to select the Tone-wheel set (waveform) of the PEDAL Part. Normal: Muted: Synth: NOTE: The traditional B-3/C-3 Tone-wheel sound Analog-oscillating sound represented by the X-5.
PRESET 56 In this mode, you can name the Combination Presets and determine how to call it. To come to this mode: Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display MENU, then touch the [PAGE] button to select PAGE A and touch the [2] PRESET button. 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 8 6. PRESET NAME 1. NOTE: The parameters by the names with (P) on the tail are Preset Parameters, and are recorded to each Combination Preset. PRESET LOAD This allows you to set the operation when you depress the Preset Key.
EFFECTIVE USE OF LINK-LOWER/PEDAL This is the function to switch/record only from the connected MIDI equipment, and not to operate the Preset for LOWER and PEDAL Part on this keyboard. The Preset Keys on B-3/C-3 are independent, key by key, and so they were operated independently. This function simulates that. WHEN LINK LOWER/PEDAL IS ON: When you recall the Combination Preset by the Preset Key, the content of all UPPER/LOWER and PEDAL Parts will change.
CONTROL 58 In this mode, you can do the setting relating to each controller. You may change the roles of several knobs and switches mounted on this keyboard. Also, on the rear panel are two terminals for connecting the Foot-switch and the Expression Pedal. You must choose either of them in this 21 mode. To come to this mode: 1. 2. Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display the MENU and select PAGE A by the [PAGE] button, and then touch the [4] CONTROL button.
MOTOR There is no pitch-bend function on the B-3/C-3. So some musicians turned off the power while playing in order to get that effect. If the B-3/C-3 is turned off, the Tone-wheel motor gradually slows down and stops, and the amplifier does as well. This function is to simulate that on this model. 19 6. HOW PITCH BEND MODE WORKS BEND - MODE (P) BEND: MOTOR: The pitch immediately rises. The pitch gradually rises up to the set point. BEND: The pitch immediately comes to normal.
10. EXPRESSION - SOURCE (G) Determines what to use for operating the Expression. PED1(NORM): Uses V-20R etc. PED1(REV): Uses KORG XVP-10 etc. EXP-100: Uses EXP-100F etc. MIDI IN: Uses the Expression Information received at the keyboard channnel UPPER. 11. EXPRESSION - MONITOR Displays the present Expression Value. You can find the causes for such troubles as “no sound”, “non-function” of the Expression Pedal, by checking if the Expression Value changes normally.
17. FOOT-SWITCH - 1 TIP (G) This is for setting the function for the Foot Switch 1 terminal. If you are using the Foot Switch with the stereo plug, this sets the function on the tip side. OFF: Does not work. LESLIE S/F ALT: LESLIE S/F MOM: These are for switching SLOW/FAST of the Leslie Effect. At ALT, it switches at each step/press and, at MOM, the Leslie effect gets Fast, as long as you keep pressing the foot switch, and it gets Slow if you release it.
THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE CONTROL MODE The DRAWBAR - CONTROL MODE is normally set on the “UPPER/LOWER” side. “UPPER A#/B” is used when you want to quickly switch to the Drawbar Registration, improvised during the performance. It is like the House DJ's preparing the next tune while playing a certain tune, using the Cross-Fader. You can prepare the next registration by the Drawbars for [A#] during your play by [B]. (No need for the recording operation.
TUNE 63 In this mode, you can tune and transpose for playing in ensemble with the other instruments. To come to this mode: Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button (MENU will displayed), select PAGE A by the [PAGE] button and touch the [3] TUNE button. 1 1. 2 TRANSPOSE You can transpose the entire keyboard by the semi-tone. The setting range is -6 to +6. Transpose effects: between the manual keyboard and the built-in sound engine, and between MIDI IN and the built-in sound engine.
CUSTOM TONEWHEELS 64 In this mode, you can regulate each Tone-Wheel Set of the Manual Keyboard, wheel by wheel. The Tonewheel Set consists of 96 Tonewheels of different pitches, and one wheel corresponds with plural notes and the feet of the Drawbars. The relation is complicated. For example, the middle C of the 8' and the C one octave lower of the 4' use the identical wheel. In this keyboard, you can save 5 types of settings per 1 Tone-Wheel Set. We call this "CUSTOM TONEWHEELS".
4. LEVEL This is for setting the volume of this wheel. The setting range is -20 to +2dB. If you increase the value, it gets louder. 5. CUT OFF FREQUENCY - LPF This is for setting the FREQUENCY to cut the TREBLE of this wheel. If you increase the value, a leakage noise is heard besides the original tonewheel pitch. If you decrease the value, the sound gets sweet and mild, as the treble is cut off. The setting range is 0 - 127. NOTE: 6.
RECORD THE CUSTOM TONEWHEELS The Tonewheel Parameters (= 2 - 6 of the previous Section) are for determining the Custom Number for recording. The Custom Number is selected and used, when you play. 1 Enter the Custom Name if necessary. 2 Touch the [REC/JUMP] button in the setting mode of the Tonewheel Parameters. The mode for selecting the Custom Number to be recorded will be displayed. 3 Select the Custom Number to be recorded by the [PAGE] button.

LESLIE 68 In this mode, you can do the setting for the built-in Leslie Effect and the External Leslie Speaker. There are many parameters for the built-in Leslie Effect, and so you can do various settings, but not per each Combination Preset independently. The parameters are treated by the group called "CABINET". You can select the CABINET NUMBER in the Combination Presets. To come to this mode: 1. 2. Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button to display the MENU.
5. HORN LEVEL 12. BASS LEVEL The Volume of each Rotor is set. The setting range is 0 to -12dB. 6. RISE TIME - HORN 13. RISE TIME - BASS Here the Time is set for the Rotor to reach the Fast Speed, when you go from Slow or Break to Fast state. The setting range for the Horn Rotor is 0.2 - 5.0s, and that for the Bass Rotor is 0.5 - 12.5s. 7. FALL TIME - HORN 14. FALL TIME - BASS Here the Time is set for the Rotor to reach the Slow speed, when you go from Fast to Slow Speed.

MIDI *# 1 :- Owner’s Manual
MIDI 78 What is "MIDI"? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. (The capital letters of these four words.) MIDI is for exchanging the performance information between an electronic musical instrument and a sequencer etc. MIDI is an international standard, by which instruments made by different manufacturers can be connected to communitate with each other. The control information is exchanged, such as the performance infos.
MIDI CHANNEL MIDI has the “MIDI CHANNELS” 1 - 16. Thus, you can send your playing information divided into 16 channels through one MIDI cable. However, the channel must match between the sender and the receiver. Otherwise, you can not “hear” what the other “says”.
