Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide
Using a Leslie Speaker Cabinet
Your Hammond XK-2 is designed to directly interface with a Leslie Speaker Cabinet. A Leslie Speaker cabinet, in addition to
amplifying the basic sound, also uses mechanical rotors which turn at different speeds to add different animation effects. The
data chart below shows the options available.
LESLIE ROTOR SPEED OPTIONSLESLIE ROTOR SPEED OPTIONS
DescriptionDescription FunctionFunction
SLOW (Chorale) Rotors will turn slowly (Chorale), producing an effect suitable for use with hymns, classical style music and
some slower songs.
OFF Rotors do not turn. Animation can be provided by using Vibrato and Chorus.
FAST (Tremolo) Rotors will speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich full sound.
NOTE: The above table shows the options which can be selected for either a single- or multi-channel Leslie Speaker cabinet
using an 11-pin interface.
There are two ways to control the speed of the rotors of a connected Leslie Speaker cabinet:
1. Using the Leslie Touch Buttons. This is explained on page 35.
2. Using a Foot Switch. This is explained starting on page 96.
NOTE: If more than one of the above options is selected, the rotors of the connected Leslie Speaker cabinet will respond to
whichever control is in use.
