D rawbars
Thanks to the very powerful sound engine of the SD5, it is possible to also repro-
duce very accurately the sounds of classic electromagnetic organs, among which
the Hammond ©‚ certainly is the most famous one with the most important tim-
bre. If you do not know what an electromagnetic organ is, keep in mind that their
timbres used to be mixed using so-called drawbars, with a specific harmonic cor-
responding to each of them. In order to compose the timbre, the required harmo-
nics used to be added on different levels. The SD5 reproduces these sounds
displaying the drawbars that can be controlled in real time by a number of buttons
on the panel.
If you wish to use the Drawbars to call up an organ sound, enable U
USSEER R V VO OIIC CEE and
then select B BA ASSSS--FFXX that corresponds with the bank of Voices dedicated to these
timbres. To call up the single timbre among the 10 available, use the FF11--FF110 0 func-
tion buttons.
PROGRAMMING THE ORGAN TIMBRE
If you wish to modify a preset and program your own settings, from the main display page, press U USSEER R V VO OIIC CEE, then press B BA ASSSS--FFXX . Select the
voice you wish to modify, using the function push buttons. Once you have selected the voice, press the same function push button once more
to access the edit page.
The SD5 allows you to control a number of particular features relevant to the original organ timbre, to be called up with the function buttons
and the D
DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R ((LLeefftt,, R Riigghhtt)) buttons and modified with the D DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R ((U Upp aanndd D Doow wnn)) buttons. These parameters are described in
detail in the following:
Drawbar: use the D
DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R ((LLeefftt,, R Riigghhtt)) push buttons to select the drawbar, and use the D DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R ((U Upp aanndd D Doow wnn)) buttons to
modify its level.
F1 Click: activates the typical noise when the sound of the electromagnetic organ starts. Use the D DA ATTA A CCU UR RSSO OR R buttons to modify its
level.
F2 Sustain: an effect used on the electronic organs of the sixties and seventies, extending the decline time of the timbre; the relevant
value is programmed using the D
DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R buttons.
F6 Percussion: this is a basic feature of the Jazz and Rock organ sound. The percussion introduced is to be chosen among 4' and 2 2/3' by
pressing the FF66 function key. The percussion volume is modified using the D
DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R keys.
F7 Effects: this allows you to access the typical effects associated to the electromagnetic organ, i.e. Chorus and Vibrato. The Vibrato
can be applied to the oscillator (Dco), the amplitude (Dca) or the filter (Dcf) with a global speed control (Rate). Pressing D
DA ATTA A
C CU UR RSSO OR R ((U Upp aanndd D Doow wnn)) you select the parameter and pressing con D DA ATTA A C CU UR RSSO OR R ((LLeefftt,, R Riigghhtt)) you modify the quantity. To
go back to the Drawbars page, press once more the FF77 function button.
Each Drawbars configuration can be saved on the Drawbar bank replacing the existent ones.
