EQUALIZ (Equalizer)
This Edit Menu allows you to adjust the settings for the Equalizer.
An Equalizer is used to adjust the tonal quality. The XK-5’s built-in Equalizer consists of 3 bands and a digital implementation of
the “tone control ” found on the preamp of a tone-wheel Hammond Organ. The Bass and Treble bands are handled by “shelf”
equalizers, and the Mid band is handled by parametric control.

PATCH EQUALIZER
❶
TONE CONTROL(P)
This parameter duplicates the performance of the tone control on the AO-28 preamp
found in the B-3 and C-3. Its response is unique, to cut the overall treble above 200Hz
gently.
The setting range is -9 to +3, and it becomes neutral when set at “0.” “-1” corresponds
to the maximum of the B-3/C-3 tone control, “-5,” the middle, “-9,” the minimum. The
tone control found on the B-3/C-3, was only available at “minus” settings, but here you are
able to “plus” the settings as well.

GAIN - BASS (P), (G)
❸, ❾ GAIN - MIDDLE (P), (G)
❹, ❿
GAIN - TREBLE (P), (G)
These allow you to adjust the Boost/Cut of Bass, Mid-range and Treble respectively.
The setting range is -9 to +9. It is flat At “0,”.
❺, ⓫ FREQUENCY - BASS (P), (G)
❻, ⓬
FREQUENCY - MIDDLE (P), (G)
❼, ⓭
FREQUENCY - TREBLE (P), (G)
These allow you to adjust the center frequency (MIDDLE) / turnover frequency (BASS,
TREBLE) to be attenuated.
The setting range is 20Hz - 200Hz for BASS, 250Hz - 3.1kHz for MIDDLE, 4.0kHz -
8.0kHz for TREBLE.
NOTE: The sound may distort if gains are raised too high. Adjust accordingly.
NOTE: The parameter indicated by (P) is a Patch Parameter, and can be recorded to each
Patch. (G) indicates a Global Parameter, which is recorded upon being set and is common
to all Patches. For a complete listing of all Patch and Global Parameters, please consult
the APPENDIX at the back of this Guide.
TURNOVER FREQUENCY
The MIDDLE of this equalizer controls a point
of frequency. This is called center frequency.
The BASS (or TREBLE) controls lower (or high-
er) than specified frequency. This is called
turnover frequency.
PATCH EQUALIZER
The Patch Equalizer is designed to be a Patch
Parameter which can be saved to a Patch.
Use the Master Equalizer (P. 80) for tonal
compensation in live performance.
