WHAT IS A “PATCH?”
The Hammond XK-5 has, in addition to Drawbar settings,
many ways to customize and tailor those settings. In the
organ world, this mixing, blending and tailoring of sounds
is called Registration. In the keyboard and synth world, a
sound or group of sounds and effects is called a
Patch
. This
term derives from old-style synthesizers which used patch
cords to connect the various components together to pro-
duce sounds. Although modern technology has rendered
this technique unnecessary, the term “Patch” has remained.
Each time a Patch is selected it will register a particular set-
ting of the sounds and controls on the instrument.
