Custom Tonewheels - Hammond XK-3 Owner's Manual

64
In this mode, you can regulate each Tone-Wheel Set of
the Manual Keyboard, wheel by wheel.
The Tonewheel Set consists of 96 Tonewheels of
different pitches, and one wheel corresponds with plural
notes and the feet of the Drawbars.
The relation is complicated. For example, the middle C
of the 8' and the C one octave lower of the 4' use the
identical wheel.
In this keyboard, you can save 5 types of settings per 1
Tone-Wheel Set. We call this "CUSTOM
TONEWHEELS".
1. CUSTOM NUMBER
This is for selecting the "CUSTOM NUMBER" to use or
compile. The "*" will be displayed when the Tone-wheel
Parameters are changed from this Custom Number.
NOTE: This parameter is a Global Parameter. It is common for
the same Tone-wheel Set (= "B-type" here) of each
Combination Preset.
2. CUSTOM NAME
You can put the name on the CUSTOM TONEWHEELS using
up to 10 letters.
Move the cursor by the [PARAM] button and choose the letters
by the [VALUE] button or the [VALUE] knob.
By touching the [VALUE] button while holding down the
[REC/JUMP] button, it jumps to the head/first of each letter
type (space, 0, A, a).
The name set here, as well as the Tonewheel parameters below,
will be deleted, if you do not do the recording operation as
explained on the next page.
3. WHEEL NUMBER
Select the Number of the Wheel you want to regulate.
To select the Wheel Number, select the [VALUE] button or the
[VALUE] knob here, or slightly move the feet of the Drawbar
while depressing the key you want to regulate. (See the
illustration on the right.)
When the Wheel Number is selected, each parameter for the
wheel (4, 5, 6, 7) is displayed.

As a sample for customization, the typical 3 types of
settings are recorded when delivered from the factory.
To come to this mode:
Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display MENU,
select PAGE B by the [PAGE] button, and then touch
either [1] B-type, [2] Mellow, or [3] Brite button for
the desired Tonewheel Set.
Also, the Temporary (= the present setting) automati-
cally switches to the selected Tone-Wheel Set just
selcted now.

INITIAL VALUE OF THE CUSTOM NUMBER
The typical settings are saved to the Number 1 - 3, as
the initial value.
For example, to the B-type, "Real B-3" simulating the
well-preserved B-3/C-3 and "80's Clean" with less
noise, and rough sound "Noisy" is stored.
