There are different sounds for each Manual. Whereas the Vintage Hammond’s Preset Keys locked down when
you pressed them, the XK 5’s do not. Instead, there are indicator LED’s at the head of each key. A Red light
indicates the current UPPER preset, and a Green light indicates the current LOWER preset. If you see a mix of
both colors, that means both UPPER and LOWER preset keys are the same. (
example: Upper “A” and Lower “A”
selected simultaneously) . The NAMES of the PATCHES will appear in the display, along with the Bank and Preset
Key information. Of course, if you’re using the single manual XK 5, you’ll be primarily sticking to the UPPER
Manual Patches, but know you can “Split” the Manual to effect playing a
double manual instrument (more on that
later in this Guide).
3. Adjust Preset Keys
The “A#” and “B” Preset keys affect their corresponding set of Drawbars allowing you to create your own sound.
The legend printed on the small ledge in front of the Drawbars shows you which set of Drawbars is controlled by
which Preset key. Having two separate settings available allows you to make a quick change between sounds.
And if you go to one of the other preset keys other than A# or B, when you come back to those Presets, your
Drawbar settings will be intact, unless of course, you move them while you are on another Preset. This time when
you come back, the new setting will be reflected. Neat Feature!
4. Preset Banks
The Vintage Hammonds had only one set of Presets, but the modern Hammond has multiple banks. As we said,
the “stock” set is the vintage one, but there is a new and different set of 9 presets under the "C" to "A" Preset
Keys for a total of 90 separate Patches.
It’s easy to select a Bank.
1. Find the BANK Touch Button immediately to the left of the Manual. Press and hold it you will see a red light
glow over the corresponding Bank's Preset Key.
2. Select the bank you wish (from C to A) and press that key. The Patches from that Bank are now loaded under
each Preset Key. (NOTE! Your "A#" and "B" settings stay the same. As many Parameters are saved with each
bank, the entire nature of the Organ changes with the selection of each BANK. Looking for different sounds? Go
to the BANKS!!)
