Introduction
t
Playing the instrument
The SKX PRO is a double-manual instrument which functions in a manner similar to a conventional two-
keyboard organ.
On an organ, the UPPER Keyboard is usually used for the melody, and is played with the right hand. The
LOWER Keyboard is usually used to provide accompaniment, or harmonic support for the melody and is
played by the left hand. The PEDAL Keyboard, or clavier, is used to play the bass notes and is most
commonly played by the left foot.
NOTE:
You can connect a MIDI pedal clavier to the SKX PRO in order to play the instrument as a complete two-
manual-and-pedal organ. Although we recommend one of the Hammond pedal claviers, any MIDI-compatible
pedal clavier may be used; however, some initial setup may be required. Please consult the
MIDI
chapter of this
Guide for more information.
On the SKX PRO, this playing style can be faithfully replicated by playing the Upper and Lower Manuals
in much the same fashion as you would a conventional two-manual organ, although you can also register
one Keyboard with Drawbar sounds and the other Keyboard with a PIANO, ENSEMBLE or MONO SYNTH
registration.
The LOWER TO PEDAL button, located on the right of the control panel, is used to enhance
the tones played from the PEDALs. When the LOWER TO PEDAL button is “ON,” (LED lit),
the registration set for the Lower Manul will play from the PEDALs.
In addition, the ORGAN SOLO feature allows you instantly to convert the SKX PRO into a
vintage Hammond Organ with UPPER and LOWER Keyboards and PEDALs automatically
assigned. For more information about the ORGAN SOLO feature, see the ORGAN SOLO
portion of the ORGAN VOICE SECTION chapter of this Guide starting on page 220.
