Th e original British Vx type organ was
equipped with Drawbars, but the function
was diff erent from that of the Hammond
Organ. Th e vintage arrangement has been
re-created here.
Each of the 4 bars on the left functions sim-
ilarly to the Hammond Organ. II, III and
IV on the right are "Mixture" drawbars that
sound plural pitches.
Th e 2 Drawbars on the right are a mini
mixer controlling the mellow voice "
bright voice "
organ.
Each or both of the two right-hand Draw-
bars must be pulled in some combination to
at Middle "C"
hear sound in the Vx type.
to output
The markings, "8' , 4'" etc., indicate the lengths of
pipes corresponding to their pitch. The common
term for these numbers are "footages".
For example, 8' means that a pipe of 8' in length
sounds, the lowest C on a standard 5 octave organ
keyboard.
If the organ type is set to Vx, refer to the "Vx"
row on the Footage Label for the correspon-
dence between each bar and the footage.
