What Is “Key Click?”
On a tone-wheel Hammond Organ, each time a key is depressed with an active Drawbar registration, a Key Click (or Key
Pop) is heard just before the note sounds. This is due to the fact that, unlike other electrical or electronic musical instruments,
the sound is always present at the key contacts. Therefore, touching a playing key will likely intercept the sound wave at
some point along its excursion, creating a “spike” or attack transient. This transient is heard as “Key Click.” Since the
generated sound is interrupted when a key is both pressed and released, there is a Release Key Click as well as an Attack
Key Click.
The Key Click Advanced Features on your Sk-series instrument allow you to replicate this characteristic of vintage tone-
wheel organs.
