*Material damage here means a damage to the room, furniture or animals or pets.
WARNING
u Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC
adaptor.
u Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in
it. Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized Hammond distributor,
as listed on the “Service” page.
u Never use or store the unit in places that are:
w Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sun-
light in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct,
on top of heat generating equipment)
w Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet oors)
w Humid
w Exposed to rain
w Dusty
w Subject to high levels of vibration.
u Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the
unit. And, make sure the line voltage at the installation
matches the input voltage specied on the AC adaptor’s case. Other AC adaptors may use a dierent polarity, or be designed for a dierent voltage, their use
could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
u Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, or
place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the
cord, producing severed elements and short circuits.
Damaged cords are re and shock hazards!
u is unit, either alone or in combination with an am-
plier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of
producing sound levels that could cause permanent
hearing loss. Do not operate for a extended periods of
time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the
unit, and consult a physician.
u Do not allow any objects (e.g., ammable material,
coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, so drinks,
etc.) to penetrate the unit.
u Immediately turn the power o, remove the AC adap-
tor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized
Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page

plug has been damaged; or
w If smoke or unusual odor occurs
w Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled
onto the unit; or
w e unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise
has become wet); or
w e unit does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance.
u In households with small children, an adult should
provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of
the unit.
u Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)
u Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an
outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices.
Be especially careful when using extension cords - the
total power used by all devices you have connected
to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the
power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord.
Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to
heat up and eventually melt through.
u Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult
with your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or
an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed on the
“Service” page.

uPower Supply
u Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any
device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
u e AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours
of consecutive use. is is normal, and is not a cause for
concern.
u Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the
power to all units. is will help prevent malfunctions and/
or damage to speakers or other devices.
uPlacement
u Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment
containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To
alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or
move it farther away from the source of interference.
u is device may interfere with radio and television recep-
tion. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
u Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices,
such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit.
Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call,
or while conversing. Should you experience such problems,
you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
u Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near de-
vices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or
otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Also, do not
allow lighting devices that normally are used while their
light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano light),
or powerful spotlights to shine upon the same area of the
unit for extended periods of time. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
u When moved from one location to another where the tem-
perature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets
(condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this
condition. erefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
u Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain
on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
u Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument.
Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

uAdditional Precautions
u Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irre-
trievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper
operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of
losing important data, we recommend that you periodically
save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the
unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
u Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents
of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Hammond assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
u Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s but-
tons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and
connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
u When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself - never pull on the cable. is will avoid
causing short circuits, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
u To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those
around you (especially when it is late at night).
u When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box
(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise,
you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
uMaintenance
u To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly
dampened.
u To remove stubborn dirt off plastic parts, use a cloth im-
pregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards,
be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
Try to wipe the entire surface using an equal amount of
strength, moving the cloth along with the grain of the
wood. Rubbing too hard in the same area can damage the
finish.
u Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

BASIC CONNECTION OF THE LESLIE SPEAKER
Connect the Leslie Speaker #2101, or #2101mk2 and the Leslie 8-PIN jack on this keyboard with the exclusive 8-pin Leslie cable (optional LC-8-7M, not included).
NOTE: The Leslie terminal on this unit is of 8-pin specications. It is impossible to directly con-
nect a 11-pin spec. Leslie speaker.
1. Make the setting of Tone-Wheel organ.
2. Switch “ON” the [BYPASS] button, set the [STATIONARY VOLUME] of the
#2101/mk2 at desired volume.
3. Repeat “ON/OFF” the [BYPASS] button with playing the keyboard, set the [ROTARY VOLUME] of the #2101/mk2 at same volume which you can hear.
MIDI CONTROL OF THE LESLIE SPEAKER
To control the parameters of the Leslie Speaker #2101, #2101mk2 (fine adjustment of
the rotor speed or the rise time, etc.):
1. Connect the MIDI OUT of this unit with the MIDI IN of the Leslie speaker with a
MIDI cable.
2. Set the keyboard channel - UPPER and the Leslie MIDI channel to the same channel. (P. 111)
When this unit detects that the Leslie speaker is connected, the Leslie parameters sent
through MIDI from this unit are switched from the SK original to those for the Leslie
speaker.
LESLIE SPEAKERS TO BE CONNECTED
This keyboard is designed to connect with 3
channel Leslie speakers such as #2101. However, it is also possible to connect 1 channel
type Leslie speakers such as #3300 sending
the stationary channels to the LINE OUT jacks
independently. (P. 86)
LESLIE CHANNEL
3 channel type Leslie speakers are equipped
with a stereo speaker system, independent of
the rotor, to provide stereo sound for the Extra
Voices and direct organ sounds.
A traditional 1-channel Leslie, such as a #122
or #147 has no stationary speaker system, thus
requiring a separate amplier/speaker for the
Extra Voices or direct organ sounds.

Bass (the upper limit) (P. 108 #2).
NOTE: When the SK1 is expanded to 2 manual, the Manual Bass function
works on the LOWER keyboard. (P. 110)
e part obtained when the Manual Bass is selected is called PEDAL part and its sound is controlled by the Drawbars ([PEDAL]
when selected in Drawbar Select). is is originated from the style
of playing bass on the pedal keyboard of a 3 keyboard type organ.
You can use both the manual bass and the split at the same time.
is makes it possible to play the bass + chord + melody only by
yourself.
NOTE: You can triggering the Manual Bass by foot switch (P. 78).

To fully utilizing this unit, read the following detailed explanations about the various functions for creating music.
ORGAN SECTION
TONE-WHEELS
e sound source or “engine” of the classic Hammond Organ are the electro-magnetic
Tone-Wheel Generators. On this keyboard, the Tone Wheel engine is replicated digitally.
While the power is on, each of the 96 virtual Tone-Wheels keeps oscillating as they did
in the vintage Hammond Organs.
KEYS
e tone signals created with the 96 virtual Tone-Wheels are “switched” at the keys.
To each key the signals corresponding to the pitch and harmonics (for example, 9 sets on
the manual keyboard) are distributed, and when you touch or release a key, the switch
connects or cuts the tone signals.
DRAWBARS
Each Drawbar represents a fundamental harmonic. Each bar adjusts the value of each
harmonic. ere are 9 drawbars corresponding to 9 different harmonics.
TOUCH-RESPONSE PERCUSSION
e Percussion creates a decaying sound on the UPPER manual.
VIBRATO & CHORUS
e Vibrato & Chorus gives depth and richness to the organ sound by slightly varying
the pitch (Vibrato), or doubling the voice by mixing the original sound, with a duplicate,
slightly detuned one (Chorus).
39
TONE-WHEEL SETS
The Tone-Wheel Sets are divided into the
Manuals and the Pedal Part. This is to give the
Pedal Part the Decay (= the sound gradually
fading out while pressing the key) or Sustain
Eect. (= the sound gradually fading out after
the key is released).
HARMONICS
Harmonic is a pitch of a dierent 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.
OVERDRIVE
e Overdrive creates distortion as if an amplifier was being driven beyond its limits.
MULTI-EFFECTS
e Multi-Effects create various effects such as tremolo and Wah.
EQUALIZER, LESLIE, REVERB
e built-in Effects are as follows: an Equalizer for sculpting the tonal response, a Leslie
Effect for rotary speaker effects, and Reverb.
(e built-in Leslie Effect is disengaged when a physical Leslie is connected to the 8-pin
terminal.)
EXTRA VOICE SECTION
SOUND ENGINE
e Extra Voice section is the sound engine for playing piano and other musical instruments. It is independent of the Organ Section.
EFFECTS
You can add Overdrive, Multi-Effects, Equalizer and Reverb to the Extra Voice Section.
MASTER EQUALIZER
e combined signal of Organ and Extra Voice is routed through the Master Equalizer.
Allowing you to tailor your sound for the provided venue, amp, sound system or recording. e settings are not saved in patch memory.

ORGAN SECTION
ORGAN TYPE
ere are various “Organ” types: the Hammond Tone-Wheel organs used in everywhere rock, jazz, and Gospel, the transistor organ frequently heard in pop music of
‘60’s. Classical pipe organ used in classical music or church services. All organs have
characteristic sounds.
e keyboard will sound like the types of organ you choose.
TONE-WHEELS (BType1, BType2, Mellow)
ese are various types of Hammond Organs’ characteristic tone wheels. e Hammond Organ’s original purpose was to duplicate the pipe organ, however, they became famous for producing a unique sound of their own.
e BType1 and BType2 have the B-3/C-3’s traditional Tone-Wheel sounds. e
BType2 has more wow-flutter and leakage noise.
e Mellow is not a Tone-Wheel, if strictly speaking. It replicates the first-generation
non-mechanical Transistor Hammond Tone Generators like the GT-7 and Concord.
TRANSISTOR (Vx, Farf)
After the transistor became generally used, the light weight organs were introduced
(such as Ace Tone TOP-6 etc.) using the transistor circuit instead of the tone wheels
or tubes. e circuit system is different from maker to maker or model by model. We
have replicated 2 representative types here.
e Vx is a type to combine the triangle wave and square wave with several footages.
e Farf is one to combine the sound wave forms coming through plural filters with
the tablet switch.
PIPE
e pipe organ produces sounds by oscillating the air sent through the pipe. e
name of Stops tells you which wind instruments that you are duplication.
You can create other sounds by combining different organ Stops, in the same way
Drawbars are used on this keyboard.

HARMONIC DRAWBARS™
e 9 Drawbars on this keyboard are used to create the basic “Hammond” sounds.
Each Drawbar is marked with the register numbers 1 - 8 along the flat part of the
Drawbar. If you push back a Drawbar until you cannot 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.
When recalling a patch, the drawbars’ “positions” will change internally, but not
physically. However, if you move a drawbar, the setting will “snap” to that drawbars
current position.

Middle “C”
e pitch of each Drawbar is as shown above, when the middle C is depressed. e
footage marked (´) on the handle end of each Drawbar is derived from the corresponding length of pipes of a pipe organ.
e numbers 1 - 8 on the “bar” portion of each Drawbar indicate the volume of the
sound to be produced as well as the guide to remember Drawbar settings.
Pull the fundamental (8´), the third harmonic (2⅔´) plus the fifth harmonic (1⁄´)
Drawbars out completely and play the keyboard. Notice how the sound resembles
a clarinet.
If you push the 8´ Drawbar half-way, you’ll notice the sound becomes more highpitched and a bit “harder”. Now pull the 8´ Drawbar back out fully and push the
2⅔´ and 1⁄´ in halfway. Notice how the sound becomes mellower.
Experiment with the Drawbars to obtain your own personal favorite sounds.

the tones are built on the 8’ fundamental, but, if you want to
add depth to the tone or to expand the playing range by one
octave lower, build your tones on the 16´ fundamental.
e Pedalboard plays the bass line and uses the two Drawbars
-16´ and 8´. e first Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 16´

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. 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. As it was on the Vintage
B-3. A trick is to keep the 1’ drawbar fully out,
and then turn the percussion on and o as you
play for a instant change in sound. Try it!

Organ. e vintage arrangement has been
re-created here.
Each of the 4 bars on the left functions similarly to the Hammond Organ. II, III and
IV on the right are “Mixture” drawbars that
sound plural pitches.
e 2 right-most bars are a mini mixer controlling the mellow voice or bright voice as
in the vintage combo organ.

The markings, “8’, 4’” etc., indicate the lengths of
pipes corresponding to their pitch. The common
term for these numbers are “footages”.
For example, 8’ means that a pipe of 8’ in length
sounds, the lowest C on a standard 5 octave organ
keyboard.

PERCUSSION
Organ tones are normally heard as long as the playing key is held down. e word
“Percussion” refers to a tone that is not steady and fades away, such as a piano or
chimes. is keyboard has Percussion tones which enhance the sounds produced by
the Drawbars.
“Touch-Response Percussion” is very useful for highlighting single notes, full chords,
even entire songs.
[SECOND] button
e 2nd harmonic speaks at the same pitch as the 4´ Drawbar. Combining this 2nd
harmonic with the Drawbars will produce a bright and clear attack.
To engage, press the [SECOND] button and the light will go ON.
[THIRD] button
e 3rd harmonic tone speaks at the same pitch as the 2⅔´ Drawbar. Combining
this 3rd harmonic with the Drawbars will produce the ringing attack that has become
a Hallmark Hammond sound.
To engage, press the [THIRD] button and light will go ON.
[FAST] button
When this button is OFF (LED not lit) the percussion tone will decay (decrease in
volume) slowly like a chime. When [FAST] is “ON” (LED is lit) the percussion tone
will decay rapidly like a xylophone.
[SOFT] button
is control regulates the volume of the percussion tone. When it is OFF (LED not
lit) the percussion effect will be very prominent, compared to the tones produced by
the UPPER Drawbars.
NOTE: Percussion is available on 3 Organ types; BType1, BType2 and Mellow.
NOTE: You can ne-tune the parameters of the Percussion (P. 82).
DECAY
On the piano, the sound gradually fades out even
if you keep touching the key. It is called Decay. The
violin sound, on the contrary, keeps sounding at a
certain volume. It is called Sustain.
1´ DRAWBAR CANCEL
As on the Vintage Hammond B-3, the 1´ Tone-Wheel Drawbar is inoperative when

WHAT IS THE LESLIE EFFECT?
The Leslie Speaker was invented by Donald Leslie in
1941 to make the Hammond Organ sound like a Theatre Pipe Organ. Using motor-driven rotating horns and
baes, Leslie’s invention gave the organ a rich and
moving tone, which quickly became it’s own unforgettable sound.
In its basic form, the Leslie Speaker has an built-in
amplier and two rotors; the “Horn Rotor” for treble
and the “Bass Rotor” for bass which are each fed by a
custom-designed driver/speaker. The combination of
the two utilizes the “Doppler Eect” to give the unique
Leslie “swirling” sound..
Some models have not only rotors but also a xed
speaker. The circuit for sending the sound to the rotor
is called the “Rotary Channel”, and that for the xed
speaker is called the “Stationary Channel”.
The Digital Leslie on-board the SK1/SK2 employs all the
proprietary concepts used in the physical speakers, but
realizes them in the digital realm. It is recommended
that you run the Main Outputs “in stereo” to get the fullest eect.

SPRING REVERB
The Hammond Organ company actually invented
the spring reverb for its organs in the 1940’s. The
eect was obtained with a length of spring and a
few pickups. If the spring was disturbed, it would
make a large crashing noise that was usually considered a nuisance, but sometimes was used as a
program sound eect. The Reverb here is digital,
but the “crash” eect is re-created here.

TOUCH
The percussion generator on the vintage B3/C-3 had a single envelope, which would not
recycle until all keys were raised. Originally
thought to be a defect, the resulting response
became a desired trait.
