TRY MAKING YOUR OWN SOUND
You will be able to produce your own sound by using the exclusive features of your Ham-
mond Organ, such as Drawbars, Percussion, Vibrato & Chorus, Leslie eff ects, and Reverb.
Let’s go through the fi rst steps:
Select the Preset Button [ CANCEL]
Select the Preset Button [CANCEL] fi rst.
e Preset Button [CANCEL] makes all of the front panel
controls (Drawbars, Tabs, etc.) current, and sounding at their
physical position.  is setting is used to create registrations “on
the fl y”. It could also be referred to as “Manual” mode.
NOTE: You can initialize the contents to the default setting (P. 81 #1)
Pull out the SWELL Drawbars
Pull out the SWELL Drawbars on the left-hand side to your
desired length, pressing a key on the SWELL keyboard to the
certain.
e tone varies corresponding to the extent or the length of the
Drawbar. It is the Drawbars that create the fundamental tones
of this organ.
e volume gets louder as each Drawbar is pulled out to the
full length.  e sound gets silent when it is totally pressed back.
e tones of the Drawbars gradually get higher in frequency
from left to right.
e 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. 58).
NOTE: The present registration is shown on the “Play mode display
(P. 49).
Add Percussion
e “Percussion” referred to here is not a percussion instrument
itself, but it is a “decay” to add a clear-cut “attack” to the or-
gan sound. You can add this “attack” to mix with the Drawbar
sound when you want.
If you turn on the [SECOND], [THIRD] buttons, decays of
the harmonic overtones (= one octave higher “C” and “G”) are
added.
If you turn on the [FAST] button, the percussion sounds fades
quickly. Pressing the [SOFT] button reduces the volume of the
Percussion sound.
NOTE: You can do  ne volume setting etc. of the Percussion (P. 69).
