PULL OUT DRAWBARS
Pull out Upper Drawbars to your taste. You can monitor your
selections easily while playing the keyboard.
 e Drawbars make the fundamental organ sound of SKX.  e
tone changes depending on how far the Drawbars are pulled
out.
 e volume of each sound becomes maximum when the Draw-
bar is fully pulled out, and null when fully pushed back.  e
drawbars are arranged so that the pitch grows higher from left
to right.
For this example, pull the  rst three Drawbars out all the way as
shown in the illustrated on the left 16´, 5 ⅓ ´ and 8´.
NOTE: You can change the sound character of the Drawbars. (P. 72)
NOTE: The present registration is displayed in the Play mode. (P. 63)
ADD THE TOUCH-RESPONSE PERCUSSION
Hammond’s Touch-Response Percussion adds a distinctive at-
tack to the Tone Wheel/Drawbar tones.  is Percussion is not
like a drum or cymbal, but closer to an xylophone or marimba.
[PERCUSSION] is available only on the UPPER part.
To enable the Percussion, turn the [ON] button “ON”.
 e [SOFT] button reduces the volume of the Percussion voice
and [FAST] button quickens the decay of the Percussion voice.
 ere are two choices of pitch for Percussion. One sounds an
octave above the note played (“Second”), and another sounds
a “twelfth” above. (“ ird”) - When the [THIRD] light is o
“Second” is selected.
For this example turn all of the Percussion buttons “ON”
([ON], [SOFT], [FAST], [THIRD]).
NOTE: You can  ne-tune the Percussion parameters to your taste. (P.

 e ON buttons switches sounds or does not at each part for
the Organ Section.
NOTE: What is a “PART”? (P. 32)

the Organ Section will sound.

cally by the Organ Section is switched on. (P. 79)
