You can play the PEDAL part using the lowest notes of the LOWER keyboard using
Pedal To Lower.
[PEDAL TO LOWER] button
To use the Pedal To Lower function, press the [PEDAL TO LOWER] button and the
light will go ON. Th e Pedal/Bass sound is heard in conjunction with the lowest note
being played, on the manual keyboard till that time.
Th e default Pedal To Lower limit point is set to sound up to, and including middle
"B".
NOTE: The Pedal To Lower can be set to play in Lowest, Polyphonic, and Chord modes (P. 126 #1).
You can change the playing range of the Pedal To Lower (the upper limit) (P. 126 #2).
NOTE: When the XK-5 is expanded to 2 manual, the Pedal To Lower function appears on the
inverted
physically LOWER keyboard (P. 128).
Th e Pedal To Lower plays the PEDAL part and its sound is controlled by the [PED-
AL] Drawbars. Th is is originated from the style of playing bass on the pedal keyboard
of a 3 keyboard type organ.
You can use both the manual bass and the split at the same time. Making it possible
to play the bass + chord + melody together.
NOTE: Jazz organists add a distinctive rhythm by "thumping" one or more pedals in time to
Chord
their playing. You can simulate this technique without having a pedalboard by assign-
ing a pedal note to a foot switch via a CONTROL parameter. See (P. 78).
Th e XK-5 has only 1 manual, but it can be split and will respond
as if it were a 2 manual instrument.
[SPLIT] button
To use the Split function, press the [SPLIT] button and the light
will go ON. Th e default setting split is at the middle B/C.
NOTE: You can change the split point (dividing note) and octave. (P. 126)
NOTE: The Split function is disabled when a second keyboard is added.
(P. 128)
Right of the split point is referred to as: UPPER and the left side
LOWER. Percussion does not function on the LOWER part.
A popular eff ect for organ bass is "PEDAL SUSTAIN", which adds
a smooth decay reminiscent of a string bass.
[PEDAL SUSTAIN]
To engage the pedal sustain, press the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] button
and the light will go ON. When you release your foot from the
pedalboard (or release the key on the keyboard - when using Pedal
To Lower), the PEDAL part decays smoothly.
NOTE: You can adjust the sustain time of the Pedal Sustain. (P. 75#19)
