Ë Leslie Parameters
Your Hammond XK-2 has a special group of Leslie Parameters. Using these special Leslie features, you can define different
characteristics of how the built-in digital Leslie effect will perform. The Leslie Parameters are:
1. Slow Speed for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
2. Fast Speed for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
3. Rise Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
4. Fall Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
5. Brake Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
6. Volume for both Horn and Bass Rotor.
7. Microphone Settings (Angle and Distance)
8. Percussion Setting.
Although each Leslie Speaker is carefully calibrated at the factory, several factors such as motor age and placement of the
belts on the pulleys can affect the speeds of the rotors, as well as time required for the rotors to speed up (Rise Time) and
slow down (Fall Time). Your Hammond XK-2 includes in its Advanced Feature Menu advanced features which allow you
to select the settings that you prefer for all of the above Leslie Parameters.
Ë Leslie Presets
Your Hammond XK-2 contains five different Leslie Presets which you can use to store different settings for all of the above
Leslie Parameters. These Leslie Presets can then be assigned to Presets. This makes it very convenient to call up the Leslie
performance characteristics you want all at once.
NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
