2	IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

uBefore using this unit, please read the following Safety instructions, and adhere to them.

uKeep this manual close by for easy reference.

uIn this manual, the degrees of danger are classified and explained as follows:

	WARNING	This sign shows there is a risk of death or severe injury if this unit is not properly used
		as instructed.
	CAUTION	This sign shows there is a risk of injury or material damage if this unit is not properly
		used as instructed.
		*Material damage here means a damage to the room, furniture or animals or pets.
		WARNING

uDo not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

uDo 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.

uNever use or store the unit in places that are:

w Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat generating equipment)

w Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors) w Humid

w Exposed to rain w Dusty

w Subject to high levels of vibration.

uBe sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. And, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s case. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

uDo 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 fire and shock hazards!

uThis unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier 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.

uDo not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

uImmediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Hammond Dealer, or an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed on the “Service” page when:

w The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the 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 The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or

w The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.

uIn 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.

uProtect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

uDo 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.

uBefore 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.

uDo not put anything that contains water (e.g., flower vases) on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

HA<O> Sk1 / Sk2Owner’s Manual

3

CAUTION

uThe unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

uAlways handle the AC adaptor by the plug when plugging into, or unplugging from an outlet or this unit.

uAt regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

uTry to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

uNever climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit

uNever handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet of this unit.

uBefore moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

uBefore cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

uWhenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

In the unlikely event that you need to dispose of this unit, be sure to contact your dealer or your nearest town or municipal office for its proper disposal.

Introduction

4	IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

uPower Supply

uDo 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).

uThe AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

uBefore connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/ or damage to speakers or other devices.

uPlacement

uUsing 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.

uThis device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

uNoise 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.

uDo not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices 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.

uWhen moved from one location to another where the temperature 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. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

uDo 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.

uDo not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.

uMaintenance

uTo clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly dampened.

uTo remove stubborn dirt off plastic parts, use a cloth impregnated 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.

uNever use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

uAdditional Precautions

uPlease be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably 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).

uUnfortunately, 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.

uUse a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

uWhen connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself - never pull on the cable. This will avoid causing short circuits, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

uTo 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).

uWhen 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.

A digital and programmable LESLIE is available for the Drawbar voices, as well as the traditional “Chorus-Vibrato” as used on the legendary B-3. The Chorus-Vibrato may be selected for the Upper and Lower manuals, independently.

uA WIDE VARIETY OF EFFECTS

Digital Multi-effects are available for the Organ and Extra Voice sections independently. A Master Equalizer allows you to tailor the total tonal response of the keyboard.

uMP3 MUSIC PLAYER

This keyboard is equipped to play MP3 type audio files. This makes it very convenient for accompanying solo performances or practicing.

uMIDI MASTER KEYBOARD

External Zones are available to enable the SK1/SK2 to be used as a master keyboard.

uPATCHS AND FAVORITES

In addition to the 100 available user-defined patches, 10 “Favorite” quick-call patches are available for on-stage ease.

uBUILT-IN USB PORT

The versatile USB Flash Drive is adopted for easy access to a PC or for saving the audio file set up of the music player also for storing the voice library.

CONNECTING THE LESLIE SPEAKER	17

An 8-pin type Leslie speaker can be directly connected to this keyboard. v Switch keyboard OFF before connecting the Leslie speaker.

USBMEMORY	PHONES

8-pin Leslie Cable

MIDI Cable (Optional)

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 specifications. It is impossible to directly connect 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

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

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.

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 amplifier/speaker for the Extra Voices or direct organ sounds.

Pull out Drawbars to your taste. You can monitor your selections easily while playing the keyboard (the UPPER keyboard if on SK2).

The Drawbars make the fundamental organ sound of this unit. The tone changes depending on how far the Drawbars are pulled out.

The volume of each sound becomes maximum when the Drawbar is fully pulled out, and null when fully pushed back. The drawbars are arranged so that the pitch grows higher from left to right.

Now, as an example, fully pull out the 3 left side bars; 16´, 5 1/3´ and 8´.

NOTE: You can change the sound character of the Drawbars. (P. 74) NOTE: The present registration is displayed in the Play mode. (P. 65)

ADD THE TOUCH-RESPONSE PERCUSSION

[PERCUSSION] here does not mean percussion instruments like drums or marimbas, but the classic crisp attack unique to the Hammond Organ. Use it to mix with Drawbar sounds whenever necessary. [PERCUSSION] is available only on the

UPPER part.

If you switch on the [SECOND] and the [THIRD], percussion sounds of one octave higher “C” and “G” are added to the note on each keyboard, respectively.

If you switch on the [FAST] button the decay is quicker, and if the [SOFT] button is selected, the volume of the Percussion is diminished.

Here, select the following 3 Percussion buttons [THIRD], [FAST], [SOFT].

NOTE: You can fine-tune the percussion parameters to your taste. (P. 82)
