Drawbar Fold Back
There are two function selections to the Drawbar Fold Back Advanced Feature Menu of the SKX : (1) Select how low
the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar will play on each manual (from “2C” down to “1C”). (2) Set the upper frequency limit
for each manual (from “4G” to “5C”).
On the earliest model Hammond Organs, the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar (the one marked, “16'”) would continue to play
all the way down to the lowest "C" ("1C"). Newer models such as the Hammond Models X-66, X-77 and Concorde do
the same, however, the 8th harmonic Drawbar (the one marked “1'”) continues to play up the manual to the next to
highest "C" ("5C") on the manual.
On a B-3, the lowest note produced by the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar is the 2nd "C" ("2C") from the left end of the
manual, while the highest note that can be played by the 8th harmonic Drawbar is the 4th "F
<
" from the left end of the
manual. The lower and higher keys on the manual "Fold Back,” in that they repeat the pitches played by other notes.
This Advanced Feature allows you to set the upper and lower frequency limits of the Drawbars.
Use the PAGE LEFT and PAGE RIGHT Touch Buttons to select either “LO” or “HI.” “LO” refers to the lower limit
of the Sub-Fundamental or first brown Drawbar while “HI” refers to the upper limit of the pitches called up by the high-
pitched Drawbars (the last four Drawbars). The selected parameter will blink “on” and “off.”
