Amount of Vibrato and Chorus
The Vibrato and Chorus switch is controlled by a knob which operates in six positions, providing
three degrees of Vibrato and three degrees of Vibrato Chorus. Each degree of the Hammond
Vibrato is noticeably different and serves a different purpose, adding greatly to the musical resources
of the organ. To select the amount of Vibrato or Chorus, simply turn the knob to the desired
position.
Vibrato
V-1 (Small Vibrato)
This is the lightest depth and produces the vibrato equivalent of most orchestral solo
instruments.
V-2 (Wide Vibrato)
This is the standard depth vibrato used with the Drawbars to produce the effect of a
theater organ.
V-3 (Full Vibrato)
This is the fullest amount and adds much warmth and enhances your music.
Remember, either one or both of the VIBRATO SWELL or VIBRATO GREAT Control Tablets must
be in the "ON" position to allow you to hear the selected Vibrato effect for each Manual.
