HA<O> XK-5 Owner’s Playing Guide
SUSTAIN
On an organ, such as the XK-5,
the word “SUSTAIN” refers to the
amount of time a note continues
to sound after a key is released.
On a synthesizer this would be
called “T4” or “Release.”
ZONES
On the XK-5, “ZONES” refer to
playing ranges. There are INTER-
NAL Zones (or “Keyboard Chan-
nels”) for the Drawbar, Percussion
and Pedal tones of the XK-5, and
EXTERNAL Zones for controlling
MIDI instruments connected to
the XK-5 .
For more details see the MIDI/USB
section of this Guide starting on
page 123.
❽ UPPER ZONE OCTAVE
This allows you to select the octave in which the Drawbars will sound for the Upper Manual. You can
select “-2” (up to two octaves down) t2” (up to two octaves up).
❾
UPPER ZONE LOW
❿
UPPER ZONE HIGH
These two parameters allow you to set the Low and High note ranges for the Upper Manual Drawbar tones.
You can select from “1C” through “6C” (the lowest and highest playing keys).
⓫ LOWER ZONE - OCTAVE
This allows you to select the octave in which the Drawbars will sound for the Lower Manual You can select
“-2” (up to two octaves down) t2” (up to two octaves up).
⓬
LOWER ZONE - LOW
⓭ LOWER ZONE - HIGH
This allows you to allows you to set the Low and High note ranges for the Lower Manual Drawbar tones.
You can select from “1C” through “6C” (the lowest and highest playing keys).
NOTE: See page 131 for more details about Upper and Lower Zones.
u
PEDALS
⓮ ORGAN TYPE
This allows you to set the Organ type for the Pedals.
Normal: Traditional Tone Wheel sound of the B-3/C-3.
NOTE: Currently, only the “Normal” is available.
⓯
ENVELOPE
This allows you to set the Attack and Release characteristics of the Pedal tones.
NOTE: See
❷
for details.
⓰
KEY MODE
This allows you to set the Pedal polyphony.
POLY:
Up to 3 notes will play simultaneously.
MONO: If multiple notes are played, only the lowest note will sound.
⓱ ENVELOPE - DECAY RATE
This allows you to determine whether the Pedal tone remains at the same volume as a note is held, or if the
voice decays as a note is held, similar to a plucked string.
The setting range is 1(short) - 5(long) and C(continuous).
⓲
ENVELOPE - SUSTAIN LENGTH
This allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after key release), when the [PEDAL SUSTAIN]
Touch Button is ON.
1 is the shortest, and 5 is the longest decay time.
NOTE: You can also locate this page by pressing and holding the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] Touch Button.
⓳
VELOCITY
This allows you to set the response to playing velocity. The setting range is OFF and 1 - 4. At OFF, the
volume does not change however hard you play the key. As the value increases from 1 - 4, the sounds gets
louder even if the key is played softly.
⓴
PEDAL ZONE - OCTAVE
This allows you to select the octave in which the Pedal tones will sound. You can select “-2” (up to two
octaves down) t2” (up to two octaves up).
㉑
PEDAL ZONE - LOW
㉒
PEDAL ZONE - HIGH
These two parameters allow you to set the Low and High note ranges for the Pedal tones. You can select
from “1C” through “3C” (the lowest and highest notes).
NOTE: See page 131 for more details about the Pedal Zone.
NOTE: All the parameters described on these pages are Patch Parameters and can be stored to indi-
vidual Patches. For a complete listing of all Patch Parameters, please consult the APPENDIX at the back
of this Guide.
