IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Your Hammond Organ A-405SP is designed to give you the true and authentic sound of Hammond
Harmonic Drawbars, as well as provide you a large variety of features to allow great fl exibility in how
you want to use the keyboard. is Owner’s Manual is designed to explain the operating features of
your Hammond A-405SP as simply and graphically as possible.
Because we want to make this manual, as well as the keyboard itself, as easy to understand as possible,
the explanations in this manual are grouped by subject matter, and not in the order in which they
necessarily appear in the display (the screen in the Great left end block). For example, all functions
pertaining to Drawbars are grouped together, all Percussion features are treated as a group, and so on.
Also, each feature is treated as an explanation unto itself, and does not require you to already have
prior working knowledge of some other feature. e explanations are presented such that, if you follow the steps, will be identical to that shown in the manual at that stage of the explanation.
Do not be daunted by the number of steps required to perform each operation. Each step is simple.
Simply bear these things in mind:
1. Read each step carefully.
2. Don’t skip any of the steps.
3. Don’t perform the steps out of sequence.
With these guidelines, you are well on your way to mastering all of the many sounds and features of
your Hammond A-405SP.

TONE-WHEELS
e sound source or “engine” of Hammond Organ are the virtual Tone-wheels. ey are
like the strings and pick-ups on the electric guitar. While running, each of the 96 virtual
Tone-wheels oscillates at a diff erent frequency.
KEYS
e keyboards of the A-405SP are traditional 61-note organ keyboards, using the inclined and overhanging confi guration. is is the same as fi ne church pipe organs, while
retaining the quick response traditional of Hammond Organs.
DRAWBARS
e Drawbars select the basic sounds. Each bar adjusts the value of each harmonic.
PERCUSSION
e Percussion adds a sharp accent to the drawbar sounds. is is the same “Touchresponse” Percussion section as found on the classic B-3/C-3.
VIBRATO & CHORUS
Vibrato raises and lowers the drawbar pitch slightly, at an even and adjustable depth and
speed. e Chorus “doubles” the sound with the duplicate slightly sharp. is creates a
distinct richness, and is an essential part of the genuine Hammond tone.
NOTE: On the classic B-3/C-3 the chorus/vibrato e ect was obtained by an electro-mechanical
“scanner”. The A-405SP uses a digital model of that scanner, that gives an accurate reproduction of the original.
OVERDRIVE
Overdrive adds the fuzzy, raspy, “dirty” sound created by the vacuum tubes of a tubestyle Leslie Speaker when its volume is pushed past its sound limit.
e PEDAL Part, however, is designed not to pass through the Vibrato & Chorus or the
Overdrive, in order to obtain a clear Bass-line.
TONE-WHEEL SET
The Tone-wheel Sets are divided into the
Manual Keyboard and the Pedalboard. This
is to give the Pedalboard the Decay (= the
sound gradually fading out while pressing the
key) or Sustain e ect (= the sound gradually
fading out after the key is released).
HARMONICS
Harmonic is a pitch of a di erent ratio to a certain pitch; for example, the one octave higher
C to the middle C. The more Harmonics, the
brighter and richer sound is obtained.
EQUALIZER, LESLIE and REVERB
e Organ signal passes through: the Equalizer (for tone regulation), the Leslie simulator (for the rotating speaker eff ects) and the Reverb (for resonance).
If a physical Leslie speaker is connected to it, the sound of the Leslie simulator is output
from the built-in speaker, and a dry sound from the 11-pin socket.
EXTRA VOICE
e Extra Voice section has its own DSP unit (Reverb, Chorus, and Equalizer) which is
independent of the 96 virtual tone-wheel generator.
Setting Up
Page 34

HARMONIC DRAWBARS™
e 9 Drawbars for each keyboard (plus 2 for the Pedal) of the A-405SP organ are
used to make the basic sounds. Each Drawbar is marked with the numbers 1 - 8. If
you push back the Drawbar until you can not see any number at all, the sound of
the Drawbar is not heard. If you pull it out to the fullest position the sound level is
maximum.
Except when the Preset button is [CANCEL], the actual Drawbar Registration is
the value displayed in the (display-)window. e “Drawbar Registration” shows the
length of the pulled-out Drawbar(s). e display shows only the Drawbar(s) you
operate.
16' 8' 4'
51/3'
22/3'
2'
13/5'11/3'
1'
Middle “C”
e pitch of each Drawbar is as shown above, when the middle C is depressed. e
footage marked (´) on each Drawbar is originated from the length of the pipes of a
pipe organ.
e numbers 1 - 8 on each Drawbar indicate the volume of the sound to be produced
as well as the guide to set the Drawbar.
For example, when you play a clarinet, the internal air vibrates, and the fundamental
(8´) and the third harmonic (2⅔ ´) plus the fi fth harmonic (1⁄´) are the basic components of the tone. On the A-405SP (or any Hammond Organ), if you pull out these
3 Drawbars, you can get a clarinet-like sound. If you pull out the 1⁄´ Drawbar and
push in the 8´ Drawbar a little shorter, the element of the high pitch increases and a
“hard” sound results. Conversely, if you pull out the 8´ one a little longer, the sound
gets mellower.
e millions of combinations possible allow you to make delicate changes to the
sound, depending on the fl ow of the tune or your choice, by fully utilizing the Drawbars.
NOTE: You can change the characters of the Drawbars. (P. 58)

Modern Drawbar Registrations
e Drawbar registrations introduced on the previous page are typically for classical music.
ey were created at the dawn of the Hammond Organ, when it was intended to sound
like a pipe or church organ (and you can certainly still use the A-405SP for that purpose
today).
Later on, as the Hammond Organ spread throughout Jazz, Pop, Rock and (especially)
Gospel music, Some timeless registrations become common.

APPLICATION OF PERCUSSION
When Percussion is used, the sound of the 1
Drawbar is cancelled. This enables the technique of playing the organ switching “Jazz” or
“Bluesy” by turning on/o [THIRD HARMONIC]
while the registration itself is set at “Bluesy”.

Match the Registration to Drawbars
When you recall a Combination Preset, the Drawbar Registration is not changed
physically but is replaced with the recorded one. If you move any Drawbar at this
stage, only the one moved refl ected.
To match only the Registration to the Drawbars, while using the content of the Combination Preset, keep depressing the Preset button for a while. Combination Preset is

WHAT IS THE LESLIE EFFECT?
In the Leslie speakers, generally, an ampli er and two rotors are incorporated, i.e. the “Horn Rotor” responsible for the treble and the “Bass Rotor”
for the bass.
Each Rotor has a speaker or speakers and a motor for controlling speed to
give the unique trembling sound gained by the Doppler e ect.
There also exist such models as have not only the rotors but stationary
speakers - switchable.
The circuit to send the sound to the rotor is called “Rotary Channel” and
that to the stationary speaker is called “Stationary Channel”.
The A-405SP’s built-in Digital Leslie e ect simulates them and you can get
the best e ect when connected stereophonically.

PEDAL SUSTAIN, COUPLER
Many Organists prefer their Pedal (Bass) voices to smoothly decay in the style of a
String Bass. Depressing the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] tab turns on that function. When
the function is active, the LED will light.
Some Organists prefer to play the Bass parts on the lower manual instead of the Pedals. Depressing the [PEDAL TO GREAT] tab will bring the pedal voice to the lowest
range of the Great (lower) keyboard. When the function is active, the LED will light.
Some Classical and Sacred music requires a more complex sound to be available on
the pedalboard. Depressing the [GREAT TO PEDAL] tab allows the current registration of the GREAT (lower) manual to be played with the pedalboard. When the
function is active, the LED will light.

EXPRESSION
16. EXPRESSION - SOURCE (G)
Determines what to use for controlling the Expression.
AUTO: The Expression is controlled usually with the Expression Pedal, and with the Sequence Data
when the Sequencer is playing.
INT: The Expression Pedal is always controlled with the Expression Pedal. You may use this when
you want to control the Expression Pedal with your foot, even while the Sequencer is playing.
MIDI: The Expression is controlled by receiving CC#11 from the MIDI IN terminal through the con-
trol channel. You may use this when you want to control the Expression with the external
sequencer.
17. EXPRESSION - MONITOR
Displays the present Expression value. You can fi nd the causes for such trouble as “no
sound”, or “non-function” of the Expression Pedal, by checking if the Expression value
changes normally. Also, this can be a guide when you want to “fade in” from “quiet”.
18. EXPRESSION - MINIMUM LEVEL (G)
It sets the output level when the Expression is minimum.
e setting range is OFF, -40dB to 0dB. “OFF” makes no sound when the Expression
is minimum, “0dB” does not reduce volume level.
19. EXPRESSION - LIMIT LF (G)
20. EXPRESSION - LIMIT HF (G)
ese are for setting the level to maintain for low and high frequencies when the Expression is minimum.
e setting range is OFF, -40dB to -5dB. is function does not work at “OFF”. Otherwise the level is maintained even if the Expression is minimum.
21. EXPRESSION - CURVE (S)
is parameter sets how the velue should vary corresponding to the depth of the expression pedal. e setting range is 1 to 3. Refer to the curves on the bottom right fi gure.
NOTE: Thie parameter is System Parameter. This parameter will be recorded when set. It is com-
mon in each Combination Preset. It is not recorded to the setup.
EXPRESSION LIMIT
One of the human ear’s characteristics is that
when the volume falls, the sound of high or
low frequencies becomes di cult to hear.
On this model, it is recti ed. The perceived frequency range is maintained no matter what
overall volume is chosen.
The similar function is adopted on most home
audio equipment. It is called the “loudness”
function.

DAMPER
The word “Damper” comes from the damper
pedal of the piano.
It is also referred to as a “Sustain” pedal. Notes
are held as long as the pedal is depressed.
SPRING REVERB
The Spring Reverb is a reverb e ect to obtain
the reverberation using the spring resilience.
It was easily a ected by a shock and it use to
give a big “clang”.
However, this drawback has come to be used
as an e ect in the genre of progressive rock.
This organ gives the simulated sound.
TIP AND RING
When you look at the plug of the stereo headphones, there are 3 metal parts. The head portion
is called “Tip” and the middle portion is the “Ring”.
The part on the cord side is called “Sleeve”.
The ordinary Foot Switch has only the Tip and the
Sleeve, but the Foot Switch with two switches in
one plug or two Foot Switches using the L/R converting cable can be connected.

LEAKAGE NOISE
In the vintage electro-mechanical Hammonds,
sometimes the signal from adjacent tonewheels would be picked up (or “leaked”) along
with the current tonewheel in play. This “hash”
noise, another Hammond anomaly originally
considered to be a defect grew to be an integral part of the Hammond sound.
“Mellow”, “Brite”, and “Saw” does not include the
Leakage Noise.
NOTE: The parameters 3 - 8 are the virtual Tonewheel Parameters. If
you do the recording operation of the next page, it works in
common with the same virtual Tonewheel set of each Combination Preset.
NOTE: When you operate the parameters 3 - 8, if you do not the re-
cording operation of the next page, it is lost when you turn o
the power.
DISTORTION
If you raise the Level and Resonance values too
much, it changes the gain in the sound engine
and may sometimes cause distortion, i.e. unpleasant noise.
In such a case, please lower these values.

ON: If you play legato, the notes including and after the second note
do not sound (the envelope will not be reset).
OFF: Even If you play legato, all the notes produce sound, like a piano.
6. KEYBOARD - VELOCITY
Corresponds the Volume of Percussion with the Velocity.
ON: Percussion volume rises with increased keyboard velocity.
OFF: Percussion volume remains constant, regardless of velocity.
7. KEYBOARD - KEY TRACK
Changes the Percussion Volume by the position on the keyboard.
ON: As you play higher, the Percussion volume decreases.
OFF: Keyboard position has no e ect on Percussion volume.
8. DRAWBAR - 1´ CANCEL
is mutes the 1´ SWELL Drawbars while using Percussion.
ON: Mute.
OFF: Does not mute.
9. DRAWBAR - LEVEL
Decrease the volume of SWELL Drawbars while using Percussion.
-5dB: Decreases the volume by B-3/C-3 frequency response.
-3dB: Decreases the volume atly.
0dB: Does not decrease the volume.
NOTE: This parameter works only when the [VOLUME SOFT] is OFF.
NOTE: The parameters in these modes are all Preset Parameters.
TOUCH
The B-3/C-3 had only one built-in Envelope
Generator, and was not recharged until all the
keys of the SWELL manual were released. This
looks like a drawback, but it had the advantage that the sound did not get loose when
chords were roughly played.
1´ CANCEL
The B-3/C-3 had no key contact exclusive for
Percussion but uses the 1´ contact for Percussion. On this organ, this is simulated.
DRAWBAR LEVEL
On the B-3/C-3, the Drawbar Volume was
slightly reduced when the Percussion was engaged. This characteristic is modeled on this
organ.

Vibrato and Chorus of Hammond Organs
On string instruments, the vibrato eff ect is created by changing the string tension by one’s
fi ngers. On wind instruments, by changing the strength of breath. On electronic instruments with analog circuitry, by modulating the oscillator. As the rotation of the tonewheels of the original B-3 was stabilized by the synchronous motor, it was not possible to
provide a vibrato eff ect. On these models, the vibrato eff ect was obtained by modulating
the signal post-generator.
e vibrato & chorus system of the original B-3 consisted of a 9 stage delay line using LC
phase shift circuits. is produced a very short delay of about 1 ms. Tones were passed
through coils, delaying the phase. Several coils were connected in tandem and when the
output of each tap was passed from the top to the last by turns, the pitches gradually lowered. By taking the output of each tap from the last to the top by turns on the contrary,
the pitch would gradually rise. ese operations were automatically made by turning the
scanner with a motor.
e scanner was used to select one of multiple input terminals by the static connection.
As each terminal was selected by the “blades” which approached each other, a popping
noise like that of a switch did not occur and the signals of neighboring terminals crossfaded and switched themselves.
e mode-selection of vibrato eff ects was made by changing the range of the connecting
tap.
As this system modulated the produced tonal signals and not the oscillator, the original
sound could be heard without the vibrato eff ect. By mixing the sound with the vibrato
eff ect and the original sound, the chorus eff ect was obtained.
On this model, the chorus and vibrato eff ects are simulated and modeled in the original
fashion digitally, by the DSP, without using moving parts.

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.
e MIDI standard allows instruments made by diff erent manufacturers to eff ectively
communicate with each other.
Many types of data can be transmitted and received, including all performance information, settings of parameters, and global commands.
