⓫ LOWER ZONE - OCTAVE
Set the octave shift for the LOWER part. Th e setting range is -2 to +2.

LOWER ZONE - LOW

LOWER ZONE - HIGH
Set the sounding range of the LOWER part with these two parameters.

PEDAL PART
⓮
ORGAN TYPE
Set the Organ type for the Pedal part.
Normal: The traditional Tone Wheel sound of the B-3/C-3.
Muted:
Analog oscillating sound as heard on the Classic X-5.
Synth1:
Saw-tooth waveform with the fi lter-sweep.
Synth2:
Dull square wave.

ENVELOPE - ATTACK RATE
⓰
ENVELOPE - RELEASE RATE
Sets the attack and release envelope.
See #2 and 3 for details.
⓱ KEY MOD E
Th is allows you to set the Pedal polyphony.
POLY: Makes it possible to play chords(up to 3 notes).
MONO: Only the lowest note will sound, when you play a chord.
If the Pedal to Lower is used, the Pedal part sounds with regarding Pedal to Lower mode
(P. 126) regardless this parameter.
⓲ ENVELOPE - DECAY RATE
Th is allows you to determine whether the Pedal voice remains at the same volume as a
note is held, or if the voice decays, as like a plucked string.
Th e setting range is 1(short) - 5(long) and C(continuous).
⓳
ENVELOPE - SUSTAIN LENGTH
Th is allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after key release), when the
[PEDAL SUSTAIN] button is ON.
1 is the shortest, and 5 is the longest decay time.
NOTE: You can locate this page by holding down the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] button as well.
⓴
VELOCITY
Th is allows you to set the response to playing velocity. Th e 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.
⓳ PEDAL ZONE - OCTAVE
Set the octave shift for the Pedal part. Th e setting range is -2 to +2.
⓴
PEDAL ZONE - LOW
PEDAL ZONE - HIGH
Set the sounding range for the PEDAL part with these two parameters.
See page 118 for details of #19 to 21.
SUSTAIN
Unlike synthesizer nomenclature, on the this
keyboard “Sustain” refers to note decay after
note release. On a synth envelope generator
this setting would be called “T4” or “Release”.
NOTE: All the parameters in these modes
are Patch Parameters. They are re-
corded into the Patch.
ZONES
The “ZONES” set in these function pages are
the range of each part of the organ section.
The keyboard on the XK-5 is used in two sec-
tions: the organ section (as explained on this
page) and the External Zone.
The concept of “Zone” is for avoiding any con-
fusion.
For details see P. 118
LEAKAGE TONE
On the original B-3/C-3, while the sound cre-
ated by a certain Tone Wheel goes through
various circuits, the sounds of the other plural
Tone Wheels are mixed. This is called Leakage
Tone. Leakage tone itself is unnecessary for
synthesizing pure sounds. However, it is ac-
cepted rather as one of the unique character-
istics of Hammond Organs.
Leakage Tone allows you to make
fi ner adjust-
ment (P. 89).
