    USING A MIDI SOUND MODULE Each Manual and the Pedalboard on this organ has an External Zone for controlling external MIDI sound modules. When Connected to the LINE IN jacks, the external MIDI sound module output is sent to the built-in speakers, stationary channel of the Leslie terminal (on a multi-channel Leslie), the LINE OUT jack and the headphone jack.

    In that case, connect an unlatch-type foot switch to the “FOOT SWITCH” jack on the underside of the key bed. Th e Hammond FS-9H (optional) is recommended. Th e “FOOT SWITCH” jack is tip-ring-sleeve. So you may connect a twin- pedal-type foot switch with a stereo plug to this jack.

    Pedal Sustain Th e PEDAL Drawbar sound can be set to smoothly decay after the pedal is released. Th is is called “PEDAL SUSTAIN”. To use this “Pedal Sustain” function, switch the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] button “ON.” Th e LED will light. If you release your foot off the Pedal (or your fi nger from the GREAT manual, if you are using the Pedal to Great, as explained later in this manual), the PEDAL Drawbar sound smoothly decays.

  • Page 34: Harmonic Drawbars

    HARMONIC DRAWBARS™ Th e 9 Drawbars for each keyboard (plus 2 for the PEDAL) of the A-162 organ are used to make the basic sounds. If you pull out a Drawbar, you will see a series of numbers appear from 1 through 8. Th is indicates the volume or loudness of the tone called on by that Drawbar.

  • Page 37: Modern Drawbar Registrations

    Modern Drawbar Registrations Th e Drawbar registrations shown on the previous page are intended to simulate pipe organ registrations since the original intent of the Hammond Organ was to provide a lower-cost alternative to a church pipe organ. As the Hammond Organ gradually achieved acceptance in other musical fi elds, such as Pop, Jazz, Rock and Gospel, unique registrations became commonplace.

  • Page 38: Match The Registration To Drawbars

    Match the Registration to Drawbars When you recall a Preset, the Drawbar Registration is not changed physically but is replaced with the one stored in the Preset. If you move any Drawbar at this stage, only that Drawbar will change. To match the Registration to the Drawbars while a Preset is active, touch and hold the Preset Key for approximately 1 second.

  • Page 39: Controlling The Registration While Playing A Preset

    Controlling the Registration while playing a Preset Th e A-162 allows you to select whether you want to have active Drawbars on all the Presets or on the “B” Preset only as on a B-3/C-3/A-100. You can make this selection in the Control Mode portion of the Drawbars - Control Mode.

  • Page 41: Vibrato And Chorus

    VIBRATO AND CHORUS Th e VIBRATO gives warmth and variance to the organ’s tone by slightly but rapidly raising and lowering the pitch. CHORUS creates the eff ect of vibrato and non-vibra- to tones played simultaneously, giving a “shimmering” sound. [SWELL] button Th is switches the Vibrato and Chorus eff ects for the SWELL Drawbars “ON”...

    These are called “Stationary channels” because they do not use rotors to animate the sound. The built-in digital Leslie eff ect on the A-162 will replicate the eff ect of a single-channel Leslie Speaker or the Rotary channel of a multi-channel Leslie Speaker.

  • Page 43: Overdrive

    OVERDRIVE Th e Overdrive gives distortion to the sound by increasing the pre-amplifi er input gain. [OVERDRIVE ON] button To hear the Overdrive eff ect, touch this button and the LED will light.

    ABOUT MIDI What is “MIDI” ? MIDI is an abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is the musical instrument industry standard for exchanging performance infor- mation 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.
  • Page 87 MIDI CHANNEL A “MIDI Channel” is the avenue along which MIDI information is sent and received. It is similar in principle to television channels. Up to 16 MIDI Channels can be sent or received. In order for MIDI communication to take place, the transmitting and receiving instru- ments must be set to the same channel - for instance, if one instrument is sending out MIDI data on MIDI Channel 1, the receiving instrument must also be set to MIDI Channel 1.
