ORGAN Voice Section
ORGAN VOICE SECTION
The tones produced by the ORGAN Voice Section are controlled by two sets of nine Drawbars - one for
the UPPER Keyboard and one for the LOWER Keyboard - and one set of two Drawbars for the Pedal tones.
Drawbars, sometimes called Tonebars, are the heart and basis of the renowned Hammond Sound and have
been used since the first Hammond Organ Model A introduced in 1935. An explanation of how to use
these Drawbars is given later in this chapter of the Guide.
The ORGAN Voice Section can produce three different types of tones (Organ Types):
1. Tone Wheel Organ replicates the performance of a vintage Hammond Organ.
2. Transistor Organ replicates the sounds of various combo organs using solid-state technology.
3. Pipe Organ produces authentic pipe organ tones.
The different Organ Types will be explained later in this chapter of the Guide.
The ORGAN Voice Section will sound when the ORGAN button in the ALLOCATE button section is “ON.”
The LED will be lit.
u ORGAN VOLUME knob
The ORGAN VOLUME knob is located above and to the left of the Drawbars.
Use this control to raise or lower the volume of the UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL Drawbar tones.
Turn this knob to the right to raise the volume, and to the left to lower the volume.
NOTE: If you have an Expression Pedal connected, it will express up to the amount determined
by the setting of the ORGAN VOLUME knob.
