DRAWBARS ( Vx)
Th e original British Vx type organ was
equipped with Drawbars, but the function
was diff erent from that of the Hammond
Organ. Th
e vintage arrangement has been
re-created here.
Each of the 4 bars on the left functions sim-
ilarly to the Hammond Organ. II, III and
IV on the right are “Mixture” drawbars that
sound plural pitches.
Th
e 2 right-most bars are a mini mixer con-
trolling the mellow voice or bright voice as
in the vintage combo organ.
Each or both of the two right-most draw-
bars must be pulled in some combination
to achieve sound in the Vx type.
If the organ type is set to Vx, refer to the
“Vx” row on the other side of the Drawbars
for the correspondence between each bar
and the footage.

FOOTAGE
The markings, “8’, 4’” etc., indicate the lengths of
pipes corresponding to their pitch. The common
term for these numbers are “footages”.
For example, 8’ means that a pipe of 8’ in length
sounds, the lowest C on a standard 5 octave organ
keyboard.
