t LEAKAGE WHEEL
As explained on page 386, Leakage is a characteristic of vintage Hammond Organs consisting of a “hash”
type sound caused by many frequencies sounding at once. These Leakage frequencies are intercepted
from neighboring wheels inside the generator. On the SKX PRO, this phenomenon is produced in the
same manner as on a vintage Hammond Organ - by other wheels producing a small amount of sound in
addition to the basic tone. The tone wheel producing the basic tone is referred to as the Fundamental
Wheel while the wheels contributing the Leakage are Leakage Wheels. Leakage Wheels are wheels 61
through 91.
These Parameters allow you to adjust the Leakage Tone to add to any of the Fundamental Wheels by using
the Leakage Wheels The Leakage Wheels will sound along with the Fundamental Wheel.
The figure below illustrates this in more detail.
The data chart below shows how the Leakage Wheels are allocated to each Drawbar frequency.
