If you want more detail, please read from following this page. TONE WHEELS Th e sound source or “engine” of the classic Hammond Organ are electro-magnetic Tone Wheel generators. On this keyboard, the Tone Wheel engine is replicated digitally. While the power is on, each of the 96 virtual Tone Wheels keeps oscillating as they did in the vintage Hammond Organs.
Th e Harmonic Drawbars (hereinafter, Drawbars) on this keyboard are used to create the basic “Hammond” sounds. Each Drawbar is marked with the register numbers 1 - 8 along the fl at part of the Drawbar. When the Drawbars are fully pushed in, no sound is heard;...
DRAWBARS FOR THE UPPER AND LOWER PARTS PRESET KEYS AND DRAWBARS Th ere are 2 sets of Drawbars for Upper part on the left, Lower part on the right. Use Preset Keys [A ] and [B] to engage each one. Th e operation of the Drawbars is disabled when the other Preset Key is selected, basically.
HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ - continued DRAWBAR REGISTRATION PATTERNS Th e Drawbar Registration is matched by digits. It is easy to remember the typical combinations of the 9 Drawbars by their forms.

[ON] button DECAY Switches the percussion “ON”(LED lit) and “OFF”. If you play and hold a Piano key, the sound will gradually fade away to silence, this is called [SOFT] button...
VIBRATO & CHORUS Th e Hammond Vibrato & Chorus is another hallmark of the Classic Hammond sound. Vibrato alters the pitch slightly, as a violinist, singer, or guitarist might do. Chorus combines a slightly detuned signal with the original for a lush tone.
OVERDRIVE Th e Digital “Overdrive” circuit can provide tonal enhancement from a mild “Warmth” all the way to “Crunch Distortion” [OVERDRIVE] button Switches ON(LED lit) or OFF the Overdrive eff ect. [OVERDRIVE DEPTH] knob Adjusts depth of the Overdrive eff ect. NOTE: You can fi ne-tune the Overdrive eff ect (P.

Th e keyboard that functions as the Pedal To Lower is the Lower range itself if it is on the XK-5 stand-alone, and the Lower keyboard if the Lower keyboard is added to the XK-5. Th e default range of the Pedal To Lower is up to the middle “B”.

MIDI/USB WHAT IS “ MIDI”? MIDI is an acronym of ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’. MIDI is the musical instrument industry standard for exchanging performance informa- tion between electronic musical instruments and a sequencer, eff ects, lighting, and sound reinforcement gear, etc. Th e MIDI standard allows instruments made by diff erent manufacturers to eff ectively communicate with each other.
MIDI CHANNEL MIDI has 16 “Channels”. All channels are transmitted through a single MIDI cable. MIDI send/receive channels must match for proper communication between devices. MAIN MIDI MESSAGE MIDI information is grouped into a channel message per each of the 16 channels and a system message for all channels.
MIDI STRUCTURE Th is keyboard has “Keyboard Channels” to transmit playing information of the key- boards and “External Zone Channels” to control external MIDI equipment on the keyboards. Map of the Organ Section MIDI structure Octave Shift (part) to USB to MIDI Octave Shift (int.
