Drawbar Effects - Leslie
New digital technology has now made it possible to recreate the Doppler effect without using moving parts. This
technology has been incorporated into the
SKX s. The following pages explain how the internal digital Leslie of your
Hammond SKX works.
LESLIE Touch Tabs
These three Touch Tabs allow you to control either the internal digital Leslie or the rotors of a connected Leslie Speaker
cabinet.
LESLIE BYPASS
When this Touch Tab is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Drawbars will sound through the internal Leslie channel. Touching
the BYPASS Touch Tab "ON" (LED lit) will change the sounds produced by the Drawbars from the Leslie channel to
the stationary channel. The speed of the rotors of either the internal digital Leslie or a connected Leslie Speaker depends
upon the position of the LESLIE FAST Touch Tab.
LESLIE STOP
When this Touch Tab is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that of an acoustic Leslie Speaker cabinet with the rotors
turning either slowly (Chorale) or Fast (Tremolo). Touching the LESLIE STOP Touch Tab "ON" (LED lit) will cause
the Leslie rotors to stop turning.
LESLIE FAST
When this Touch Tab is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that of an acoustic Leslie Speaker cabinet with the rotors
turning slowly (Chorale). Touching the LESLIE FAST Touch Tab "ON" (LED lit) will cause the Leslie effect to speed
up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich, full sound.
