Hammond SKX Quick Start Guide

8. Transpose and Octave switches
Transpose
The Transposer allows you to play in one key while the SKX sounds in a totally different one.
The Transpose feature is perfect for accompanying singers, soloists or any other pitch-critical
application. It works like this: Press and hold the TRANSPOSE button and use the adjacent UP and
DOWN buttons to shift the tuning in half-step increments, 6 half-steps down and 6 half-steps up.
Easy! But know that the Transposer is system-wide and its settings are not saved with any Patch.
Octave
The Octave buttons are just as simple — each press of the down button takes the playing range
down an octave and each press of the UP button raises it. you can use this feature “on the fly,“ or
save this setting as part of any Patch.
