  • Page 48: Drawbar Registration Patterns

    Notice that Drawbar registrations are expressed in number groups of 2, 4 and 3. This “2-4-3” number formula for Drawbar Registration has been a Hammond convention since the beginning. It has been found to be the easiest way to convey a specific setting. The first two numbers correspond to the two brown Drawbars of either manual.

    PERCUSSION An important component of the Hammond Sound is “Touch-Response Percussion Control™.” The Percussion controls on the XK-5 consist of four separate tabs, located immediately to the right of the Drawbars, which control har- monic Percussion tones playable from the Upper Manual. They control all the same functions as the tilt tablets on a tone-wheel Ham- mond.

    The volume level of the Drawbars will be reduced by 3 decibels, or a small amount, when Percussion is “ON” at Normal volume. This replicates the original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response Percussion Control. OFF: The volume of the Drawbars will stay at the same level, or “0db, ” when Percussion is “ON” at Normal volume. This replicates later Hammond Organs with Percussion.

  • Page 59: Drawbar Organ Type

    DRAWBAR ORGAN TYPE The Drawbars on the XK-5 can be made to control other organ sounds other than traditional Hammond Drawbars. Several makes of combo organs, for example, also used Drawbar-type slider controls to register the sounds, which were actual organ voices rather than individual harmonics as with Hammond Drawbars.

    On a tone-wheel Hammond Organ equipped with Vibrato & Chorus, the vibrato circiutry consists of a series of plural coils or low-pass filter sections called a “delay line” or “line box” and a motor-driven “scanner” which, as the name implies, scans the delay line and progres- sively retards the phase, creating the Vibrato effect.

  • Page 71: Vibrato & Chorus Edit Menu (Vib&Cho)

    ❶ TYPE Hammond tone-wheel organs with Vibrato & Chorus were manufactured from 1949 through 1975. During that time, several different types of vibrato circiuts were employed, particularly line boxes of different construction. The Vibrato TYPE feature creates the effect of different types of Vibrato delay lines.

    TEMPORARY EQUALIZING (MASTER EQUALIZER) u WHAT IS “EQUALIZATION?” “Equalization” is a term used by sound engineers to describe changes or alterations they make to the character of sound.

  • Page 86 Ring Mod. “Ring modulation” is a signal-processing effect whereby two different frequencies are mixed together in such a way as to eliminate, as much as possible, the individual frequencies themselves, leaving only the sum and the difference of the two frequencies. In analog circuits, this is accomplished by arranging diodes in a circle or ring, giving rise to the term, “ring modulator.”...

    4 teeth, others have 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, up to 192 teeth. On a B-3-type organ, only 91 of the 96 wheels generate musical notes - five of the wheels are blanks, or wheels having no teeth, to maintain mechanical balance. On later Hammond models such as the H-100 and X-77-series, the last 5 tone wheels are cut with 256 teeth, allowing them to play frequencies 91 through 96.

    Because of these many factors - again, some real, some contrived - and because different people therefore mean different things when they say “Hammond Sound” or “B-3 Sound,” the Custom Tone Wheel feature is included to allow you to find the nearest approximation of what you want your “Hammond Sound”...
