XK-5
Owner’s Playing Guide
The Drawbars on the XK-5 can be made to control other organ sounds other than traditional Hammond Drawbars. Several makes of
combo organs, for example, also used Drawbar-type slider controls to register the sounds, which were actual organ voices rather than
individual harmonics as with Hammond Drawbars. This Advanced Feature allows you to use the Drawbars to control other types of organ
sounds. See page 52 for information on selecting the various Drawbar Organ Types.
DRAWBAR ORGAN TYPE
u
DRAWBAR ORGAN TYPE - “Vx”
The “Vx” Drawbar Organ Type allows you to use the Drawbars to register the sound of a vintage British combo organ.
The figure below shows how the Drawbars are allocated in “Vx” mode.
The type of combo organ replicated by “Vx” mode had drawbar-type controls, but they functioned differently from Hammond Harmonic
Drawbars. Organ. The first 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.
The last two Drawbars control the type of tone produced by the first seven Drawbars. The eighth Drawbar causes pure tones to sound while
the last Drawbar causes brighter and more harmonically complex tones to sound.
NOTE: The first seven Drawbars WILL NOT sound unless one or both of the last two Drawbars are also “out.” These two Drawbars regu-
late the overall volume as well as timbre of the total Drawbar registration, and can be used separately or together.
