CONTACTS OF A TONE-WHEEL ORGAN & VIRTUAL MULTI-CONTACTS
As explained in the CUSTOM SETS chapter of this Guide, the basis for the “Hammond Sound” is the tone-
or phonic-wheel generator.
When a key is pressed on a tone-wheel Hammond Organ, it closes 9 small electrical switch contacts. These
9 contacts represent the 9 pitches provided by the Drawbars - the fundamental tone plus eight harmonics.
The contacts are closed and opened by means of 9 horizontal flat springs which press 9 busbars. When
a flat spring presses a busbar, electrical contact is made and the harmonic is permitted to sound. Since the
9 busbars are physically separated, the harmonics do not all sound simultaneously, but in succession. This
can be heard most clearly by selecting one of the four Manual Drawbar sets of a tone-wheel organ (for
example, Upper Manual “B”), pulling all of the Drawbars in the selected set out to their maximum volume
setting and slowly pressing a playing key. Each of the harmonics will add in a sequence from highest to
lowest until all 9 frequencies will be heard when the key is at the bottom of its travel. The “Key-Click” on
tone-wheel Hammond Organs is due in part to these physical characteristics.
The SKX PRO utilizes a new specially-designed “VMC™ (Virtual Multi-Contact) system which reproduces
the effect of 9 contacts per note by means of special software.
