DRAWBARS ( Vx)
e type of combo organ replicated by Brit-
ish “Vx” mode had Drawbar-type controls,
but they functioned di erently from Ham-
mond Harmonic Drawbars Organ. e left
four Drawbars control individual pitches,
while the next three are “Mixture” Drawbars
which cause multiple pitches to sound. “II,”
“III” and “IV” refer to the number of pitches
represented by that Drawbar.
e right two Drawbars control the type of
tone produced by the rst seven Drawbars.
The “ ” Drawbar causes mellow tones
to sound while the “ ” Drawbar causes
brighter and more harmonically complex
tones to sound.
NOTE: The left seven Drawbars WILL NOT sound
unless one or both of the right two Draw-
bars are also “out.” These two Drawbars
regulate the overall volume as well as
timbre of the total Drawbar registration,
and can be used separately or together.
If the Organ Type is set to Vx, refer to the “Vx” row on the other side of the Drawbars
for the correspondence between each bar and the footage.

FOOTAGE
“Footage” is a term inherited from the pipe organ.
It is used to designate the pitch at which a particu-
lar organ stop will sound. The number refers to the
length of pipe necessary to produce the lowest
note of that particular stop.
For example, if a stop is marked 8’ it means that
the lowest note on a standard 5-octave organ key-
board “C” will require a pipe 8 feet long.
