2. PEDAL TO LOWER Coupler ( or: MANUAL BASS )
Many players don’t “kick” bass pedals, rather they play bass notes with their left hand on the Lower Manual. It’s
easy to do this on the XK 5.
1. Turn on the SPLIT mode as described on the previous page. This time, however, instead of selecting a Preset or
setting the Drawbars using one of the Adjust Presets, After touching the LOWER tab in the Preset Selector Area,
choose the “C” preset which silences the Lower Manual.
2. Now touch the PEDAL TO LOWER Touch Button next to the SPLIT Touch Button.
This will bring the PEDAL voices up to be played on the "Lower Manual."
3. Find the two Drawbars “by themselves” in the middle of the Drawbar array.
These are the PEDAL Drawbars. The Left one ( or 16’) is a deep, rich bass tone . The Right one (or 8’) is an octave
higher, and more suited for subtle playing . You can mix the two for your own personal blend.
3. PEDAL SUSTAIN
Many Players like their organ bass to sound like a Bass Guitar or “Standup” Bass. This, too, is easy to accomplish.
After engaging the SPLIT/PEDAL TO LOWER above, touch the PEDAL SUSTAIN Touch Button.
and play away. If you’d like to adjust the Sustain length, you’ll have to go “beneath the hood.”
In this “Menu” Episode, you’ll discover a very hip feature of Modern Hammond Organs. If you wish to access the
Parameters beneath any of the control panel tabs, simply press and hold the chosen tab down for a few seconds,
and you will “jump” to the first page of the Parameter Menu of that feature. Release the Tab when you see the
display change.
