11. Combo and Pipe Organ Divisions
There are three other organ divisions in the
SKX
- “Farf,” “Vx” and “Pipe.” “Farf” and “Vx” are
authentic models of famous 1960’s Italian and British combo organs. These can be registered
exactly as on the original instruments. To select these models quickly, touch the DRAWBAR button.
This will take you to a menu screen where you may choose which organ type you wish. “B-type1,”
Btype2" and “Mellow” are classic Hammond tones. “Farf,” “Vx,” and “Pipe” replicate their respective
voice types. Choose the voice type you desire, and press the PLAY button.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Touching the PLAY Button will instantly return you to PLAY Mode. If you
accidentally touch the MENU/EXIT button, simply touch the PLAY Button and the PLAY screen will
return.
Use the Drawbars as before to register your tones. Consult the legend printed on the top panel
(shown above) to be your guide in choosing sounds.
And here’s a tip: when choosing “Vx,” remember that it is registered just like the original. you must
pull out one or both of the “waveform” Drawbars to get sound.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Vibrato, Overdrive and Leslie controls will work with all organ types
except “Pipe.” Also, when using “Pipe” voices, the Drawbars do not provide gradations of volume -
they turn the selected Pipe Voice “ON” or “OFF” just as the drawstops on a pipe organ.
