Hammond SKX, Reference Manual

Page: 3 / 398

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Your Hammond Organ is designed to give you the true and authentic sound of
Hammond Harmonic Drawbars, as well as provide you a large variety of other
sounds and features to allow great flexibility in how you want to play. This Guide
is designed to explain the operating features of your Hammond Organ as simply and
graphically as possible.
Because we want to make this Guide as easy to understand as possible, the
explanations are grouped by subject matter, and not necessarily in the order in which
they appear in the Information Center Display (the screen on the front panel). For
example, all functions pertaining to Drawbars are grouped together, all Percussion
features are treated as a group, and so on.
Also, each feature is treated as an explanation unto itself, and does not require you
to have prior working knowledge of some other feature. The explanations are
presented such that, if you follow the steps outlined, the message you see in the
Information Center Display screen will be identical to that shown in the keyboard
at that stage of the explanation.
Do not be daunted by the number of steps required to perform each operation. Each
step is simple. Simply bear these things in mind:
2. Read each step carefully.
2. Don't skip any of the steps.
2. Don't perform the steps out of sequence.
With these guidelines, you are well on your way to mastering all of the many sounds
and features of your Hammond Organ.
