Introduction

NOTE: The 11-pin Leslie socket on your SKX allows you to plug directly into any Leslie speaker having an 11-pin
interface. Current models include the 2101, 3300, 122XB and 981. However, when plugging the SKX into a single-
channel Leslie cabinet such as a 3300, only the Drawbars will sound through the Leslie.
NOTE: To connect the SKX to a Leslie Speaker having a different pin configuration such as an older 6-pin 122
or 147 or a 9-pin cabinet such as the 760, 770 or 900 series cabinets, you will need an adapter kit and/or Connector
Cable. Contact your Hammond Dealer for more information regarding which adapter kit and/or cable you may
need.
Connecting a Foot Switch
You can connect an optional foot switch such as the Hammond model FS-9H foot switch to your SKX .
Connect the foot switch plug to the jack marked "FOOT SW" on the back of the SKX .
NOTE: In order to insure proper operation of the Foot Switch, be sure to connect it when the
power to the SKX is “OFF.”
NOTE: The FOOT SW jack on your SKX instrument is “TRS-compatible,” meaning that by using a Stereo input
plug more than one Foot Switch can be used. For a complete explanation of this, consult the SPECIAL
PERFORMANCE FEATURES section.
Connecting the CU-1 Leslie Speed Switch
The CU-1 ( C ontrol U nit - 1 ) switch, available as an optional accessory, allows you to control the
speeds either of a connected Leslie Speaker or of the internal digital Leslie. Connect the 1/4" plug to
the jack marked "FOOT SW" on the back of the
SKX .
NOTE: In order to insure proper operation of the CU-1, the FOOT SW parameter in the
CONTROL Edit Menu must be set to “CU-1.” For more information, please consult page 4 of the SPECIAL
PERFORMANCE FEATURES section.
Connecting a Damper Pedal
To connect a Damper (piano sustain) Pedal, connect the plug from the pedal into the jack marked "DAMPER" on the
back of the
SKX .
Connecting an EXP-50 Expression Pedal
If you wish to use a Hammond EXP-50 Expression Pedal, connect the plug from the EXP-50 into the EXP.PEDAL jack.
Connecting a MIDI Pedalboard
If you wish to use a Hammond MIDI Pedalboard, use a MIDI cable to connect the MIDI OUT port from the Pedalboard
to the MIDI IN port of the
SKX
.
NOTE: If you are using an XPK-100 Pedalboard, the MIDI Channel should be set to “3.” Also for best results,
the Control Channel should be set to “16.” Please consult your XPK-100 Quick Features Guide for further
instructions.
Other MIDI Connections
Your SKX can interface with a great number of MIDI-compatible devices. See the MIDI section for more information
about MIDI connections and your Hammond SKX .
Connecting a Set of Headphones
A stereo headphone jack is provided on the Accessory Panel next to the LINE OUT jacks so that you may play or practice
in privacy. Connect the plug from a set of stereo Headphones into the Headphone jack.
NOTE: Be sure that your headphone set has either a ¼” plug or an adapter for a ¼” plug.
