Setting The Pedal Part - Hammond XK-3 Owner's Manual

8. FOLD-BACK - HIGH
This allows you to set at which key the 1' Drawbar starts to FOLD-BACK (= repeat
the same octave) in the upper-most range. The set range is 4G - 5C.
NOTE: The FOLD-BACK can be set not only on the 1' but also 1 1/3', 1 3/5', 2' and 2 2/3'
Drawbars.

Setting the PEDAL Part

9. TONE-WHEELS
This allows you to select the Tone-wheel set (waveform) of the PEDAL Part.
Normal: The traditional B-3/C-3 Tone-wheel sound
Muted: Analog-oscillating sound represented by the X-5.
Synth: Sawtooth waveform with sweeped filter.
NOTE: You can come to this page by holding down the [MANUAL BASS] Button as well.
10. ATTACK
This allows you to set the Attack Rate and the Key-Click Volume at ATTACK and
RELEASE.
MAX CLK: Immediately attacks and the key-click is loud.
NORM CLK: Immediately attacks and the key-click is normal.
SOFT CLK: Immediately attacks and the key-click is soft.
NO CLK: A slightly slowly attacks without key-click
SLOW ATK: Slowly attacks without key-click
11. DECAY RATE
This allows you to determine whether to keep voicing or to decay, or set the decay
time, while holding down the key.
The setting range is 1 - 5 and C. The longer the value gets, the longer gets the decay
time. No decay at C.
12. SUSTAIN - ON
This allows you to set whether or not to use the Sustain function.
It functions at ON.
13. SUSTAIN - LENGTH
This allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after you release the key),
when the SUSTAIN - ON (item #12) is ON.
1 is the shortest. And 5 is the longest.
14. VELOCITY
This allows you to set the response to the Velocity. The setting range is OF and 1 - 4.
At OF, the volume does not change on how hard you touch the key. As the value
increases from 1 - 4, the sound gets louder even if you touch the key softly.
When the velocity is 1 - 4, it sounds when you touch the key slightly
deeper than OF.
15. KEY MODE
This allows you to set the way to voice the Pedal Part.
POLY: Makes it possible to play harmony ( up to 3 notes)
MONO: Only the lowest note will sound, when you play a harmony.
NOTE: The previously relased note will be cut when you touch the new one, even when
the PEDAL Part is in the POLY mode and SUSTAIN is ON.
NOTE: When the note-data of the Pedal Part are received from the MIDI IN terminal while
the value of the parameter [MIDI IN] (P. 86 #2) is "IN1/IN2", the Pedal Part
produces polyphonic sound, regardless of the value.
NOTE: All the parameters in these modes are Preset Parameters. They are recorded into
the Combination Preset.
SUSTAIN
This is the function that the volume slowly fades out
after the key is released, not like that of the
synthesizers.
VELOCITY
"Velocity" is the strength to touch the key.
When you touch the piano hard, the hammer hits the
string hard and so the sound gets loud.
The organ key is, on the other hand, generally only
the switch to open the valve, and so the sound does
not change on how hard you may touch the key.
So this function is effective if you use when the
Decay Rate is other than C, or Decay.
