DRAWBARS

Your Hammond XB-1 Drawbar Keyboard recreates the sounds of Hammond Harmonic Drawbars. Therefore, before explaining the features pertaining to Drawbars a few words of explanation about the Drawbars themselves are in order.

Drawbars, often called Tonebars, are the heart and the basis of the renowned Hammond Sound and have been used since the first Hammond Organ Model A introduced in 1935. There are approximately 253,000,000 possible sound combinations that can be produced by these Drawbars. Each Drawbar consists of sine waves of different pitches (which means tone depth). The illustration below shows how each Drawbar relates to the manual when middle "C" is pressed.

Drawbars

Each Drawbar is marked with a number followed by a footage mark. For example, the first white Drawbar is marked "8'.” This is pipe organ terminology indicating that the pipe used to produce the lowest note on the keyboard on a pipe organ is actually eight feet long. The numbers from "1" to "8" on each Drawbar represent degrees of loudness - number 1 being the softest, and number 8 being the loudest.

Drawbars are divided into 3 groups of sound as well as 3 groups of color. We will first look at the 3 sound groups.

Sound Groups

You may think of these sound groups in terms of the three levels - The Sub being the deep pitches, the Foundation being the mid range of pitches and the Brilliance being the high pitches.

- SUB - - FOUNDATION - - BRILLIANCE -

Color Groups

Ë White Drawbars

The first white Drawbar represents the "fundamental" or "8' base" tone. All of the other white Drawbars are octave intervals or harmonics of the fundamental tone. The tonal brilliance is greatly increased by adding white Drawbars, but the harmonics added are always in "consonance harmony.

4. Now, one by one, pull the other Upper white Drawbars out in sequence.

As you add each Drawbar, you will hear the addition of the same note an octave higher in each case.

Ë Black Drawbars

The Black Drawbars represent the dissonant (discordant) harmonics which are also necessary in building rich tone colors. The mellowness of a horn, the pungency of strings, and the brilliance of reed voices owe much of their character to the presence of these harmonics in different degrees.

Page 15

Ë Brown Drawbars

In addition to the white and black Drawbars, there are two brown Drawbars in the group. These two Drawbars produce "sub-octave" effects. The first brown Drawbar is the sub-octave of the fundamental 8' Drawbar and is "one octave" lower in sound. The second brown Drawbar is the "sub-octave" of the third harmonic and sound a "fifth" or five tones above the fundamental. Both of these Drawbars are used to add depth and richness to many combinations. They also increase the range of the manual by one octave since a solo registration of the "8 foot," or normal pitch, can be set up using the first brown Drawbar as the fundamental and played one octave higher.

5. Now pull the second brown Drawbar out, and you will hear it add a richness to the sound of the "C" note that you are holding down.

Tone Families By Shape

Regardless of the size of a pipe organ or its number of stops, all of its voices are related to four basic families of tone. The four basic families - FLUTE, REED, STRING and DIAPASON - can be quickly set up on the Drawbars by relating a pattern or shape to each family.

These are the generalities which apply to the tonal resources of the organ, and in themselves produce pleasant and usable effects. However, real beauty of tone is secured in two ways. The first way is to use registrations which have been devised by organists. The second way, and eventually the one that best expresses your own feeling for the music, is to create your own tonal effects, experimenting with and perfecting tones which you use to play your favorite selections.

SELECT Group is “ON.”

The Hammond Organ Drawbars allow you not only to set up any tonal effect you want, but also to make many fine variations of the tone. Only with the Hammond Drawbars can you play exactly the shade of tone you want for every selection and, perhaps even more important, for every size and type of room in which you play.

With the Hammond Organ Drawbars, a touch of a finger is all that is needed to make the tone quality softer or more brilliant, richer in one harmonic or another.

Percussion

Your Hammond XB-1, in addition to recreating the sounds of Hammond Harmonic Drawbars, also faithfully replicates the Hammond Touch-Response containing a "3" as part of their model number (B-3, C-3, M-3, RT-3) as well the A-100 and D-100 series. On later tone-wheel Hammond models, the Percussion feature consisted of preset voices rather than harmonics. The Percussion feature on the XB-1 recreates the original implementation of Percussion. The following pages explain each part of this feature in detail.

Ë Percussion Touch Buttons

The Percussion Touch Button Section is located to the left of the Information Center Display. The first two Touch Buttons determine the pitch at which the Percussion tones sound.

NOTE: When either of these Touch Buttons are "ON" (LED lit), all of the Drawbars will be effective except the 8th harmonic Drawbar (last white Drawbar). When Percussion is "OFF,” the 8th Harmonic Drawbar is effective as usual.

Ë SECOND

This Touch Button causes the Percussion tone to sound up one octave with respect to the Fundamental Drawbar (first white Drawbar).

Ë THIRD

This Touch Button causes the Percussion tone to sound up an octave and a fifth with respect to the Fundamental Drawbar.

Ë FAST

When this Touch Button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Percussion tone will decay (die away) slowly like a chime. When FAST DECAY is "ON" (LED lit) the Percussion effect will decay rapidly like a xylophone or glockenspiel.

Ë SOFT

When this Touch Button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Percussion effect will be very prominent. You will also notice that the Upper Manual Drawbar tones are reduced in volume to compensate for the addition of the Percussion tones. When this Touch Button is "ON" (LED lit), the Percussion effect is much less prominent. The Upper Manual Drawbar volume remains unaffected by the addition of the PERCUSS. SOFT Touch Button.

Ë Percussion Drawbar Level

On the original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response Percussion Control, such as the B-3, C-3, RT-3 and A-100, when the Swell Manual "B" Preset Key is engaged, Percussion is "ON" at normal volume and a Drawbar setting is used, the volume of the Swell Manual Drawbars is reduced slightly in order to preserve the musical balance between Swell and Great Manuals. However, some pros would perform a modification so that the "B" Preset Drawbar settings would remain at full volume even if Percussion were "ON" at normal volume. This Advanced Feature allows you to select either option.

When the “-3db” setting is chosen, the Drawbars will be reduced by "-3db" in volume when Percussion is "ON" at normal volume. When “0db,” the volume of the Drawbars will stay at the same level, or "0db,” when Percussion is "ON" at normal volume.

MANUAL SPLIT

Although the XB-1 has a single manual, the manual can be Split so that one sound can be played on one part of the manual and a different sound can be played on another part of the manual.

Upper and Lower Manuals on the XB-1

When the manual is split, the effect is that of a conventional two-manual organ on which the Upper Manual would be played by the right hand and the Lower Manual would be played by the left hand. Therefore, when Split is “ON,” the area to the right of the Split Point is referred to on the XB-1 as the Upper Manual and is abbreviated, “UM.” The area to the left of the Split Point is designated as the Lower Manual and bears the abbreviation, “LM.” You will notice both of these abbreviations in the Information Center Display. This is important to keep in mind because if you are making any changes to parameters affecting the Lower Manual, such as Drawbar Registration, you will not hear any change unless Split is “ON.”

SPLIT Touch Button

Touch this Touch Button “ON” (LED lit) to activate the Split Point. Touch it “OFF” (LED not lit) to deactivate the Split Point and play the XB-1 as a single-manual instrument.

Leslie

Your Hammond XB-1 has a built-in digital Leslie effect that replicates the sound of a Leslie Speaker cabinet. In addition, the XB-1 can also be used with a variety of different Leslie Speaker cabinets. There is a full explanation of how to use the XB-1 with a Leslie Speaker cabinet starting on page 45. The following paragraphs explain how the internal digital Leslie of your Hammond XB-1 works.

Ë Leslie Touch Buttons

These three Touch Buttons allow you to control either the internal digital Leslie or the rotors of a connected Leslie Speaker cabinet.

ON Touch Button

Normally when this Touch Button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Drawbars will sound as if through a “straight” speaker cabinet (one with no rotors). Touching the ON Touch Button "ON" (LED lit) will change the sounds produced by the Drawbars from a “straight” sound to the sound produced by a Leslie Speaker. The speed of the Leslie effect depends upon the position of the FAST Touch Tab, which is explained below.

Effects

NOTE: This Button also works in conjunction with the BRAKE Touch Button, which is explained below.

FAST Touch Button

When this Touch Button is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that of an acoustic Leslie Speaker Cabinet with the rotors turning slowly (Chorale). Touching the FAST Touch Button "ON" (LED lit) will cause the Leslie effect to speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich, full sound.

NOTE: The FAST Touch Button will function only

if the ON Touch Button is "ON" (LED lit).

BRAKE Touch Button

When this Touch Button is "OFF" (LED not lit) and the ON Touch Button is “OFF”, the sound quality changes to simulate the effect of the Drawbar tones speaking through the Stationary channel of a multichannel Leslie Speaker such as models 723, 750 or 914. When this Touch Button is “ON” and the ON Touch Button is “OFF”, the digital Leslie effect is "stopped" and the sound quality remains unchanged. This simulates the effect produced by a single-channel Leslie Speaker such as a 122 or 147.

Ë Leslie Parameters

Your Hammond XB-1 has a special group of Leslie Parameters. Using these special Leslie features, you can define different characteristics of how the built-in digital Leslie effect will perform. The Leslie Parameters are:

1. Slow Speed for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

2. Fast Speed for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

3. Rise Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

4. Fall Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

5. Brake Time for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

6. Volume for both Horn and Bass Rotor.

7. Microphone Settings (Angle and Distance)

8. Percussion Setting.

Although each Leslie Speaker is carefully calibrated at the factory, several factors such as motor age and placement of the belts on the pulleys can affect the speeds of the rotors, as well as time required for the rotors to speed up (Rise Feature Menu advanced features which allow you to select the settings that you prefer for all of the above Leslie Parameters.

Ë Leslie Presets

Your Hammond XB-1 contains five different Leslie Presets which you can use to store different settings for all of the above Leslie Parameters. These Leslie Presets can then be assigned to Presets. This makes it very convenient to call up the Leslie performance characteristics you want all at once.

Using a Leslie Speaker Cabinet

Your Hammond XB-1 is designed to directly interface with a Leslie Speaker Cabinet. A Leslie Speaker cabinet, in addition to amplifying the basic sound, also uses mechanical rotors which turn at different speeds to add different animation effects. The data chart below shows the options available.

Description Function

SLOW (Chorale) Rotors will turn slowly (Chorale), producing an effect suitable for use with hymns, classical style music and some

slower songs.

OFF Rotors do not turn. Animation can be provided by using Vibrato and Chorus.

FAST (Tremolo) Rotors will speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich full sound.

NOTE: The above table shows the options which can be selected for either a single- or multi-channel Leslie Speaker cabinet using an 11-pin interface.

There are two ways to control the speed of the rotors of a connected Leslie Speaker cabinet:

1. Using the Leslie Touch Buttons. This is explained on page 35.

2. Using a Foot Switch. This is explained starting on page 95.

NOTE: If more than one of the above options is selected, the rotors of the connected Leslie Speaker cabinet will respond to whichever control is in use.

MIDI

The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is an international standard for allowing electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI capability to exchange performance information. For example, a synthesizer can be used to communicate with a drum machine, an electronic piano can interface with a computer, and so forth. Additionally, since MIDI is an international standard recognized and implemented by all musical instrument manufacturers worldwide, instruments made by different manufacturers can communicate with each other via MIDI.

MIDI Connections

Ë MIDI IN and MIDI OUT

In order to allow communication to take place, all MIDI-equipped instruments have at least two MIDI jacks MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. MIDI IN is for receiving MIDI data from another instrument, while MIDI OUT is for sending MIDI data out to another instrument.

MIDI

In the example above, the keyboard of the sending or transmitting instrument (MIDI OUT) is being used to control the sound generators of the receiving instrument (MIDI IN). When a key is played on the sending instrument, the corresponding note will play on the receiving instrument. When the key is released on the sending instrument, the tone being played by the receiving instrument will stop. (This is called "Note On / Note Off" data and is the most basic MIDI hookup.)

Ë MIDI THRU

The MIDI THRU function allows more than one instrument to be controlled by the same transmitting instrument - in other words, the data being sent from MIDI OUT goes to MIDI IN, where it can be passed on to another instrument via MIDI THRU. The picture shown below shows how this is done.

In the above example, the MIDI data goes from the sending instrument (MIDI OUT) to another instrument (MIDI IN), which receives the data and passes it along to a third instrument via the MIDI THRU connection.

Hammond XB-1 Quick Features Guide

Page 58

MIDI

Typical Applications

Ë Example 1: The XB-1 connected to an amplifier.

Ë Example 2: The XB-1 sounding through a self-contained keyboard instrument.

If you connect the audio output from the XB-1 to the INPUT jack(s) of an instrument with self-contained speakers, such as an organ or electronic piano,, you will be able to hear the XB-1 through the speaker system of the other instrument.

Ë Example 3: A personal computer

If you wish to use a personal computer, run a standard MIDI cable from the MIDI OUT of the computer to the MIDI IN connector of the instrument. You will also need a MIDI interface and MIDI software for your computer.

Your Hammond XB-1 has MIDI IN, MIDI OUT and MIDI THRU jacks. These are located on the back right hand side of the instrument.

The following pages will describe the MIDI Advanced Features of your Hammond XB-1.

MIDI Expression Control

This Advanced Feature allows you to control how Expression data (Controller #11) is sent from the XB-1. The default setting is “INDIV,” meaning that Expression data is received individually for Upper, Lower and Pedal on whatever MIDI Channel each is set for. However, on personal keyboards and home organs by certain manufacturers, Expression data is transmitted on one MIDI Channel only. By using this parameter, you can select on which MIDI channel the XB-1 will receive. In this way, all sounds from the XB-1 can be under expression while receiving Expression data on only one MIDI Channel. (NOTE: If you are also using

the Keyboard Split function of the XB-1, the MIDI channel setting for the Expression Control parameter must be the same as the MIDI channel setting for the Upper Manual in order for the entire instrument to receive expression.)
