t What Is “ProChord™” - PLEASE READ
ProChord™is a unique feature of certain Hammond Organ models, including the SK PRO, which allows
you to play a single-note melody augmented by complex harmonies. The melody is played on the UPPER
Part and the harmonies are applied to the melody in response to chords played by the left hand on the
LOWER Part. ProChord is a sophisticated tool that can be used to enrich a performance, or provide an
advanced edge to any style of music.
ProChord works like this: When notes or chords are played on a LOWER Part and a note is played on an
UPPER Part, the note represented by the key played on the UPPER Part is heard along with a scored
harmony pattern which sounds according to the Chord Root and Chord Type selected by the notes played
on the LOWER Part. The Chord Root is the letter name of the chord (F, A, B=, etc) while the Chord Type
is the denomination of the chord (Major, Minor, Augmented, etc.).
The ProChord feature on the SK PRO will recognize 26 different Chord Types in response to notes played
on the LOWER Part. The following page will show how to play the five basic Chord Types using a
minimum number of notes.
NOTE: A note or chord must be played on the LOWER Part in order for the ProChord harmony to sound when
notes are played on the UPPER Part.
