Equaliz (Equalizer); Patch Equalizer; Patch Equalizer And Master Equalizer - Hammond A-3 Playing Manual

Table of Contents

This Edit Menu allows you to adjust the settings for the Equalizer.

An Equalizer is used to adjust the tonal quality. The XK-5's built-in Equalizer consists of 3 bands and a digital implementation of

the "tone control " found on the preamp of a tone-wheel Hammond Organ. The Bass and Treble bands are handled by "shelf "

equalizers, and the Mid band is handled by parametric control.

To locate this Menu, follow the steps below:

❶ TONE CONTROL(P)

This parameter duplicates the performance of the tone control on the AO-28 preamp

found in the B-3 and C-3. Its response is unique, to cut the overall treble above 200Hz

gently.

The setting range is -9 to +3, and it becomes neutral when set at "0." "-1" corresponds

to the maximum of the B-3/C-3 tone control, "-5," the middle, "-9," the minimum. The

tone control found on the B-3/C-3, was only available at "minus" settings, but here you are

able to "plus" the settings as well.
