IMPORTANT - READ THIS FIRST

Your Hammond XK-2 Drawbar Keyboard 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 flexibility in how you want to use the keyboard. This Quick Reference Guide is designed to explain the operating features of your Hammond XK-2 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 Information Center Display (the screen in the center of the front panel). 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. The explanations are presented such that, if you follow the steps outlined, the message you see in the Information Center Display screen 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 XK-2.

In order to hear the sounds produced by the XK-2, you will need to connect it to an amplifier or other external sound source. You can either:

1. Connect the XK-2 to an amplifier, or;

2. Connect the XK-2 to a Leslie Speaker cabinet.

Connecting to an Amplifier

1. Use two audio cables with 1/4" plugs on both ends of each cable.

2. Connect one end of each of the audio cables to the audio output connectors on the back of the XK-2.

NOTE: At this point it is assumed that you are using a keyboard or guitar amplifier that has 1/4" phono plug inputs. We assume this since this is the most common type of connector used on these types of amplifiers.

3. Connect the other ends of each cable to the female 1/4" audio input connectors of your amplifier. If your amplifier has only a single (1) female 1/4" phono plug audio input, you can connect one end of one cable to

the L/MONO audio output connector on the XK-2, and the other end to the female 1/4" audio input connector of your amplifier.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

Introduction

Connecting a Leslie Speaker (11-pin)

If you wish to use a Leslie Speaker with your XK-2, the Leslie Speaker should be connected before turning the power "ON". To do this:

1. Locate the Leslie Connector Cable.

2. Plug the female end of the Connector Cable into the receptacle on the back lower left corner of the Leslie Speaker.

3. Plug the male end of the Connector Cable into the 11-pin Leslie socket found on the Accessory Panel of the XK-2.

To Leslie Speaker

NOT E:

Both the Leslie connections are "keyed", that is, each connection contains a notch which insures that the pins properly match up.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The 11-pin Leslie socket on your XK-2 allows you to plug directly into many standard 1- and 2channel Leslie Speaker cabinets. Some current models: 122XB, 303, 723, 771. However, it should be noted that when plugging the XK-2 into a multi-channel Leslie cabinet such as a 303 or 723, only the Rotary channel will sound.. The Stationary channel(s) will be silent.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To connect the XK-2 to a Leslie Speaker having a different pin configuration such as an older 6-pin 122 or 147, or a 9-pin cabinet such as the 900 series, 760 or 770 cabinets, you will require an adapter kit and/or Connector Cable. Contact your Hammond Dealer for more information regarding which adapter kit and/or cable you may need.

Ë MIDI Connections

In order to play the sounds produced by your XK-2, the unit must be connected via MIDI to a keyboard or other MIDIcompatible device. See the MIDI section starting on page 54 for more information about MIDI connections and your Hammond XK-2.

Ë Connecting a Foot Switch

You can connect an optional foot switch such as the Hammond model FS-9H foot switch to your XK-2. Simply plug the foot switch plug into the jack marked "FOOT SW" on the back of the XK-2.

Ë Connecting an Expression Pedal

If you wish to use an expression pedal which has a 1/4" plug, simply insert the plug into the jack marked “EXP.PEDAL”.

REV/NORM Selector

This selector, located to the right of the “EXP. PEDAL” jack, allows you to choose the setting which matches the Expression Pedal you are using. Some expression pedals, because of their configuration, may play only at maximum volume with this switch set in the “NORM” position. If you experience this, simply slide the REV/NORM Selector to the “REV” position.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

10 Drawbars

DRAWBARS

Your Hammond XK-2 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.

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 -

5. Now do the same with the BRILLIANCE Drawbars.

It's that easy to create your own custom Drawbar settings.

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" or harmony.

3. Pull the first white Drawbar in the UPPER DRAWBARS group, marked “8'”, all the way out.

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.

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.

TRY THIS:

1. Make sure all Drawbars are "IN" (off) and that the LED above the UPPER Touch Button in the

2. Hold down middle "C" on the manual.

3. Pull the first white Drawbar, marked “8',” all the way out.

4. While continuing to hold middle "C" down, pull the first brown Drawbar, marked “16',” all the way out.

You will now hear the sound of "C" one octave lower being added.

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.

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.

20 Percussion

Percussion

Your Hammond XK-2, in addition to recreating the sounds of Hammond Harmonic Drawbars, also faithfully replicates the Hammond Touch-Response Percussion Control. This feature is found on Hammond Organs 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 XK-2 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.

30 Manual Split

MANUAL SPLIT

Although the XK-2 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 XK-2

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 XK-2 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 XK-2 as a single-manual instrument.

EFFECTS

The XK-2 has the effects of Vibrato, Chorus, Leslie, Reverb, Overdrive, Treble adjustment and Oscillator Phase Control. By adding such effects, you can enhance the sound of your music.

Vibrato

Your Hammond XK-2 has three Touch Buttons which control the degrees of Vibrato and Chorus.

Ë V1 - (Small Vibrato)

This produces the vibrato equivalent of most orchestral solo instruments. Touch the V1/C1 Touch Button to turn Vibrato 1 "ON.”

Ë V2 - (Wide Vibrato)

This is the standard depth vibrato used with the Drawbars to produce the effect of a theater organ. Touch the V2/C2 Touch Button to turn Vibrato 2 "ON.”

Ë V3 - (Full Vibrato)

By pressing both the V1/C1 and the V2/C2 Touch Buttons at the same time, you turn "ON" Vibrato 3. Vibrato 3 gives the fullest amount of vibrato, adding much warmth and enhancing your music.

Chorus

The third Touch Button selects the Chorus effect. When the CHORUS Touch Button is used, half of the tone is heard without Vibrato, and half contains the vibrato amount selected by the first two Touch Buttons.

Ë C1 - (Small Chorus)

This produces the light chorus effect.

Ë C2 - (Wide Chorus)

This is the standard depth of the chorus effect.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

Ë C3 - (Full Chorus)

By pressing both the V1/C1 and the V2/C2 Touch Buttons at the same time along with the CHORUS Touch Button, you get the fullest amount of Chorus, adding warmth that enhances your Drawbar settings.

Ë Vibrato/Chorus Speed

36 Effects

Leslie

Your Hammond XK-2 has a built-in digital Leslie effect that replicates the sound of a Leslie Speaker cabinet. In addition, the XK-2 can also be used with a variety of different Leslie Speaker cabinets. There is a full explanation of how to use the XK-2 with a Leslie Speaker cabinet starting on page 46. The following paragraphs explain how the internal digital Leslie of your Hammond XK-2 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.

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 multi-channel 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.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

Ë Leslie Parameters

Your Hammond XK-2 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 Time) and slow down (Fall Time). Your Hammond XK-2 includes in its Advanced 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 XK-2 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.

NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.

54 MIDI

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.

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.

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

55MIDI

If you connect the audio output from the XK-2 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 XK-2 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 XK-2 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 XK-2.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

MIDI Expression Control

This Advanced Feature allows you to control how Expression data (Controller #11) is sent from the XK-2. 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 XK-2 will receive. In this way, all sounds from the XK-2 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 XK-2, 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.)
