Introduction

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

Your Hammond XK-3C 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 Owner’s Manual is designed to explain the operating features of your Hammond

XK-3C 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 left of the keyboard front panel). For example, all functions pertain-

ing 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,

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-3C.

BATTERY BACK UP

Your XK-3C uses a battery-backed RAM to remember your changes to the Parameters.

When the battery voltage becomes low, the Display will show:

If you see these messages, you should immediately back up your parameter changes, if you have made any.

If there is no battery installed in the unit, or if the battery is compeletely dead, the Display will show:

After the above message is displayed, the XK-3C will re-initialize itself, and the factory default settings will

be restored (except Combination Presets, Leslie Cabinets and Cutsom Tone-Wheels). Therefore, it is a good

idea to periodically save your data to CompactFlash card.

CAUTION: In order to change batteries, be sure to ask your dealer or store.

MAIN FEATURES

ACCURATELY REPRODUCES THE TONE-WHEEL SOUND.

Your new XK-3C contains (96) independent oscillating digital tone-wheels that accurately reproduce the sound of the

Vintage B-3/C-3.

In addition, this keyboard has full polyphony.

KEYBOARD OPERATES LIKE THE VINTAGE MODELS.

This keyboard operates exactly like the vintage B-3, C-3, etc did.

Presets are selected by means of the Reverse Colored Keys.

Vibrato effects can be selected by the rotary Vibrato control.

The keyboard has Waterfall keys and you can also attach a Leslie Switch (optional) to the front rail as well.

VACUUM TUBE PREAMPLIFIER.

This keyboard has a circuit for a pre-amplifier with 2 characteristically different tubes, a 12AX7 and a 12AU7, so as to

offer a variety of overdrive sounds. The pre-amp circuit consists of dual bands. You can assign bass and treble to

respective tubes, thus can realize purer harmonic sounds. Of course, the general single band operation is also possible.

By adjusting the bias voltage, you can obtain not only the distortion by the general clip but also the nonlinear distortion.

DIGITAL LESLIE / VIBRATO EFFECTS.

The XK-3C keyboard is equipped with a DSP effect generator to simulate the Scanner-Vibrato and Leslie Speaker.

The range of sounds that you can create is expanded by the use of Vibrato and Chorus effects, and by the real sounding

Leslie effects which effectively simulates the rotation of the two Rotors which are present in traditional Leslie.

EQUALIZER AND TONE CONTROL.

A 3-band equalizer and tone-control are now built in. The equalizer can make fine or course tonal adjustments to the

bass, treble, and mid frequency ranges. The tone-control simulates the circuit built in on the vintage B-3/C-3 pre-amp to

obtain a gently-cut treble.

11 PIN LESLIE SPEAKER SOCKET.

Your new XK-3C contains a 11 pin Leslie speaker socket for direct connection to Leslie Speakers.

CAN BE EXPANDED BY USE OF EXTERNAL MIDI PRODUCTS.

You can expand your keyboard by connecting and playing with additional external MIDI equipment.

This includes keyboards, sequencers, etc.

CompactFlash™ CARD

You can use a CompactFlash Card (not included) to save various Parameter files.

PLAY WITH THE CONTROLLERS

Your performance will be more expressive, if you play on the manual using

the controllers. You will see on this page how to use the controllers generally

used with the electronic musical instruments. (How to use the exclusive

Hammond Organ controllers is shown on the next page.)

PITCH BEND WHEEL

This is used to slide the pitch up or down while playing.

The frequency goes up when you move it back, and it goes down when you move

it forward.

When you release your hand from the PITCH BEND wheel, it returns automati-

cally to the center position.

NOTE: You can adjust the value of the pitch bend. (P. 62)

The [MODULATION WHEEL] on the right is not usually used. It is used when

you transmit the modulation information to external MIDI equipments.

EXPRESSION PEDAL

Fig.: V-20R (optional)

FOOT SWITCH

Generally, organs can not express dynamics or the velocity of the key touch,

while all the piano can.

However, if you connect the Expression Pedal to the organ, you can express the

velocity, corresponding to the degree of your foot-pressure on the pedal, and add

intonation to make your music more expressive. [The Expression Pedal is to be

separately purchased.]

The volume is loudest when you fully press down by means of your toe, and it is

quietest when you fully press down by means of your heel.

NOTE: Set the parameter at “Expression source” for the model of expres-

sion pedal that you have connected. (P. 64)

This switch is used to operate and control the organ by your foot instead of

pressing various switches by your hand while playing. [The Foot Switch is to be

separately purchased.]

The initial factory assignment is “LESLIE FAST”.

NOTE: You can change the Foot switch assignment. (P. 65)

TRY TO MAKE YOUR OWN SOUND

You will be able to freely produce your own sound by using the exclusive features of

your HAMMOND ORGAN, such as Drawbars and Percussion sound, as well as

Vibrato and the Leslie effects. The steps to take after you receive your XK-3C from

your dealer are as follows:

SELECT THE PRESET KEY [B]

First select the Preset Key [B].

This is a special key, also called “Adjust Preset”. While this key is

selected, your setting is always memorized, and the Drawbar regis-

tration on the panel (= the length of the Draw-bars) always corre-

sponds with the internal registration.

NOTE: You can initialize the contents to the default setting. (P.

82)

PULL OUT THE LEFT DRAWBARS

Pull out the Left Drawbars on the left-hand side to your desired length, pressing a

key on the keyboard to be certain.

The tone varies corresponding to the extent or the length of the Drawbar. So it is the

Drawbars that make the fundamental tones of this keyboard.

The volume gets loudest when each Drawbar is pulled out to the full length. The XK-

3C gets silent when it is totally pressed back. The tones of the Drawbars gradually

get higher in frequency from left to right.

The most popular patterns or registrations are (1) to pull out only all the three left

side Draw-bars to the full, (2) to pull the far-left and only the white bars to the full, or

(3) to pull all the bars.

NOTE: You can change the characteristics of the Drawbars. (P. 56)

NOTE: The present registration is shown on the “Play” mode display. (P. 48)

ADD PERCUSSION

The “Percussion” referred to here is not a percussion instrument it-

self, but it is a “decay” to add a clear-cut “attack” to the organ sound.

You can add this "attack" to mix with the Drawbar sound when you

want.

If you turn on the [SECOND], [THIRD] Buttons, decays of the har-

monic overtones (= one octave higher “C” and “G”) are added.

If you turn on the [FAST] Button, the decay goes quick. And, if you

press on the [SOFT] Button, the Percussion volume reduces.

NOTE: You can do fine volume setting etc. of the percussion.

(P. 71)

ADD EFFECTS

VIBRATO & CHORUS

OVERDRIVE

“Vibrato and Chorus” slightly changes the Drawbar pitch at a certain ratio and add warmth to the

sound.

[UPPER] Button

Switches on and off the Vibrato effect. The LED turns on when it is ON.

[VIBRATO & CHORUS MODE] Knob

Controls the Vibrato Depth and switches to and from the Chorus effect.

The degree of the depth corresponds with the number. Also “V” adds only Vibrato sound by

changing the pitch, “C” mixes Vibrato and original sound (= Chorus Effect) and adds richness to

the sound.

NOTE: You can finely adjust the rotation speed etc. of the Vibrato/Chorus. (P. 76)

The overdrive effect simulates the effect of applying an excessively high signal to the amplifiers

input which causes distortion of the sound.

[TUBE AMP] Button

Press this button to switch on the LED, and get the Overdrive Effect.

[TUBE OVERDRIVE] Knob

This knob controls the degree of distortion.

NOTE: The LED for the TUBE AMP Button varies the color according to the distortion

degree. When it is through the TUBE AMP without distortion, it is green. It goes red

when the distortion degree increases.

NOTE: You can finely adjust the Overdrive Effect. (P. 78)

LESLIE

REVERB

The rotor and the rotating horns produce the effect of the spatial and dynamic and lively theater

stage performance.

[LESLIE ON] Button

Touch “ON” to switch on the LED.

[LESLIE FAST] Button

This button controls the rotor at two different speeds. When the LED is ON, it is FAST. When

the LED is OFF, it is SLOW. The most effective and popular way to use this is to mainly play

SLOW and lead to the climax by changing to FAST.

[LESLIE BRAKE] Button

This is to set the action when the LESLIE ON Button is OFF.

When the LED is ON, BRAKE is on. The rotation gradually slows down and stops finally).

When the light is OFF, it is THROUGH. The Leslie effect is by-passed.

NOTE: You can control the rotors by these buttons when you connect the LESLIE to the

external equipment.

NOTE: You can finely adjust the rotation speed etc. of the internal LESLIE Effect. (P. 72)

This gives the reverberation effect of being in a concert-hall.

[REVERB] Button

To get the Reverb Effect, touch the button and switch on the LED.

NOTE: You can finely control time etc. of Reverb. (P. 81)

Turn On and Play

Divide the keyboard into two parts - left and right. [SPLIT]

This keyboard has only a single manual. But you can change the setting and play it as

it was a double keyboard organ, using this “SPLIT” function.

[SPLIT] Button

Switch on the LED by pressing the button, to “split” the manual.

The factory “SPLIT” setting is to divide it between B and C in the center.

NOTE: Split Point or Octave can be moved. (P. 92 #4)

NOTE: The Split function does not work, when the MIDI IN jack is used for

“LOWER/PEDAL”. (P. 96 #2)

The right-hand side of the split point is called UPPER to make sound by the left

Drawbars and Percussion. The left-hand side is called LOWER and makes sound

with the right Drawbars. Percussion does not sound with LOWER.

Add bass part on the manual keyboard. [MANUAL BASS]

You can play the Bass using the lowest keys.

This is called “Manual Bass”.

[M. BASS] Button

To use the Manual Bass function, press the button and switch on the LED.

Not to interfere with the Melody performance, this function is limited only up to B in

the center when it leaves the factory.

NOTE: You can move the upper limit of the Manual Bass. (P. 92 #1)

NOTE: The Manual Bass function is controlled by connected MIDI keyboard

when the purpose of the MIDI IN jack is at “LOWER/PEDAL”. (P. 94 #2)

The bass part obtained by the Manual Bass is called the PEDAL, and makes sound

controlled by the Pedal Drawbars. This is designed so that the Bass is played by the

pedal keyboard as on the three-keyboard organ.

NOTE: You can choose sounding polyphonic (POLY) or lowest note (MONO).

(P. 57 #15)

You can use both the Manual Bass and the Split at the same time. So, you will be

able to play Bass, Chord and Melody all by yourself.

What is “Part”?

A “PART” plays like a “player” in a band or an orchestra does.

Like the three-keyboard organs, this keyboard has three parts, UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL, and so

you can play three different tones.

This keyboard has only a single manual, but it is possible to play plural parts, using the SPLIT and/

or using the MIDI keyboards to expand the keyboard.

NOTE: The function for plural tones is called “Multi-timbre”.

SOUND ENGINE STRUCTURE

SYSTEM STRUCTURE OF THIS KEYBOARD

*#1 :-%Owner’s Manual

To fully enjoy playing this keyboard, please read the following section

of this manual.

See the illustrated System Structure of your keyboard on the left page.

TONE-WHEELS

The sound source or “engine” of Hammond Organ is the Tone-wheels. They are

like the strings and pick-ups on the electric guitar. While running, each of the 96

Tone-wheels keeps oscillating at a different pitch/frequency.

KEYS

Each of the sound signals made by the 96 Tone-wheels is switched at each key.

Each signal corresponding with each pitch and harmonic is distributed to each

key (as an example, 9 signals for the manual keyboard). The keys are switched

on and off by depressing (= touching) and releasing the keys.

DRAWBARS

The Draw-bars prepare the basic sounds. Each bar adjusts the value of each

harmonic (as an example, 9 harmonics for the manual keyboard).

PERCUSSION

The Percussion makes decay sound, synchronizing with the key touch of the UP-

PER part.

VIBRATO/CHORUS

Vibrato gives vibration to the pitch. By mixing the vibrato sound with the funda-

mental sound, Chorus effect is obtained.

NOTE: On this keyboard the scanner circuit of the B-3/C-3 is simulated, which gives

more effects than the changes of the pitch.

TONE-WHEEL SET

The Tone-wheel Sets are divided into the

Manual Keyboard and the Pedal Part. This is to

give the Pedal Part the Decay (= the sound

gradually fading out while pressing the key) or

Sustain Effect. (= the sound gradually fading

out after the key is released).

HARMONICS

Harmonic is a pitch of a different ratio to a cer-

tain pitch; for example, the one octave higher

C to the middle C. The more Harmonics, the

brighter and richer sound is obtained.

TUBE AMP

Having a real tube in the Amp gives the XK-3C a unique tube sound. By chang-

ing the amount of the drive you can obtain various tube sounds from “clean” no

clipping, to the hard-distorted fuzzy and raspy “overdrive”.

The Pedal Part, however, is designed not to pass through the Vibrato/Chorus or

the Tube Amp, in order to obtain the clear Bass-line.

EFFECT LOOP

If you connect an effector to the effect-loop input (send/return) which is located

on the back of the keyboard, it will no pass thru the overdrive tube amp.

EQUALIZER, LESLIE and REVERB

The sound comes out of the output terminal, after passing the spatial effects: the

Equalizer (for tone regulation), the Cabinet (for the rotating speaker effects) and

the Reverb (for resonance). The built-in Leslie Effect does not work at the Leslie

11-pin terminal.

NOTE: The built-in Leslie Effect is designed to smoothly simulate the rotations of the

two rotors.

Setting Up

DRAWBARS™

The 9 Drawbars (plus 2 for the Pedal) on this keyboard 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 Key is B, the actual Drawbar Registration is the value displayed in the

(display-)window. The “Drawbar Registraion” shows the length of the pulled-out Drawbar(s).

The display shows only the Drawbar(s) you operate.

The pitch of each Drawbar is as shown above, when the middle C is depressed. The footage

marked (') on each Drawbar is originated from the length of the pipes of the pipe organ.

The numbers 1 - 8 on each Drawbar indicate the volume of the sound to be produced as well as

the guide to simply set the Drawbar.

For example, when you blow clarinet, the internal air vibrates, and the fundamental (8') and the

third harmonic (22/3') plus the fifth harmonic (13/5') come out at the same time. On this key-

board, if you pull out 3 Drawbars, you can get the clarinet sound. If you pull out the right hand

side one of the 3 Drawbars a little longer and the left hand side one a little shorter, the element/

component of the high pitch increases and a hard sound comes out. If you pull out the left hand

one a little longer, on the contrary, the sound gets mellow.

Thus, you can make delicate changes to the sound, depending on the flow of the tune/music or

your choice/preference, by fully utilizing the Drawbars.

NOTE: You can change the characters of the Drawbars. (P. 56)

*#1 :-%Owner’s Manual

MANUAL DRAWBARS

WHITE DRAWBARS

BLACK DRAWBARS

In each Drawbar set, the white Drawbar (8') on the left end makes the basic/

fundamental sound. The other white Drawbars get higher by the octave to

the right.

The sounds of the black Drawbars, too, play important roles in building rich

tones. Their pitches are fifth and third to the fundamental. They contain the

elements of all different harmonics of such as the sweet and soft horn, mel-

low strings and so on.

BROWN DRAWBARS

PEDAL DRAWBARS

The two brown Drawbars on the far left have the role to give depth and

richness to the sound. The left 16' is one (1) octave lower than the 8', and

51/3' is the third harmonic of the 16' fundamental.

Normally, the tones are built on the 8' fundamental, but, if you want to add

depth to the tone or to expand the playing range on the manual by one (1)

octave, the tones are built on the 16' fundamental.

The Pedal Part for playing the bass line usually uses the two Drawbars -16'

and 8'.

The first Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 16' pitch for a deep foundation

bass, while the second Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 8' pitch, or one

octave higher.

The registration of the Pedal Part is displayed on the center of the display,

left one is 16', and the right one is 8'.

3 SETS OF DRAWBARS AND PARTS

On this keyboard, there are 3 Parts: UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL, and each of them has the

corresponding Drawbars.

The manual on the keyboard is usually assigned to the UPPER position. If you want to play the

LOWER or PEDAL Part, use the Split or Manual Bass functions, or connect the MIDI keyboard

and assign each part.

There are lamps(= LED’s) in front of the two sets of 9 Drawbars, marked with “UPPER/ B” and “LOWER/A<”. They indicate the assignment of the Drawbar Sets. They are assigned to UPPER

and LOWER when shipped from the factory. A< and B are used when you want to operate it like the Upper Manual of the B-3/C-3. In this case, both Drawbar Sets correspond with the Preset Key A< and B, and control only the UPPER

Part. The LOWER Part is not controled. Please read the CONTROL Chapter for further details.

(P. 62 #1)

MATCH THE REGISTRATION TO DRAWBARS

If you recall the Combination Preset, the Drawbar Registration is not physical but is replaced

with the recorded/memorized one. If you move any Drawbar at this stage, only the Footage

moved is reflected.

To match only the Registration to the Drawbars, while using the content of the Combination

Preset, keep depressing the Preset Key for a while. Combination Preset is recalled and then the

physical Drawbar Registration is reflected.

PERCUSSION

The attack feeling of the percussion is a Hammond exclusive.

Percussion is usually used with the Drawbar sound.

[SECOND] BUTTON

The second harmonic, or 4' Drawbar decay, is added to the UPPER Part.

To use this, press the [SECOND] button, and the LED will light.

[THIRD] BUTTON

The third harmonic, or 22/3' Drawbar decay, is added to the UPPER Part. By mixing it with

the Drawbars, power and solidness is obtained.

To use this, press the [THIRD] button, and the LED will light.

DECAY

The piano sound gradually goes out even

if you keep the key down. This is called “de-

cay”. The violin, on the contrary, keeps

sounding at a certain volume. This is called

“sustain”.

[FAST] BUTTON

This cuts short the decay time of Percussion.

It is effective if you use this to play with a clear-cut rhythm in an up-tempo piece.

When the LED is OFF, it is SLOW. It gets “FAST” when you press the [FAST] button, and

the LED will light.

[SOFT] BUTTON

This reduces the volume of Percussion.

When the LED is OFF, it is NORMAL. If you press the [SOFT] button, the percussion level

is soft, and the LED will light.

NOTE: You can fine-adjust Percussion. (P. 71)

NOTES

“Percussion does not sound!”

The factory default setting: Percussion does not produce sound except at the Preset Key

[B], if the Combination Preset is Bank B. (See left.) This setting is the same as on the B-

3/C-3.

NOTE: You can set any Preset Key to sound Percussion. (P. 58 #5)

DRAWBAR CANCEL

TUBE AMP

The TUBE (= Vacuum Tube) AMP produces a unique “Tube Feeling” sound.

By changing the amount of the Drive, various Tube Sound is obtained, from the

unclipped clean to the hard-distorted fuzzy, raspy Overdrive sound.

[TUBE AMP] BUTTON

This is for determining whether or not to go through the Tube Amp circuit.

To get this effect, touch the button and and the LED will light.

NOTE: You can see the tube through the ventilation hole on the back.

[TUBE OVERDRIVE] KNOB

This is for adjusting the distortion value of the Tube Amp circuit.

It does not clip, if turned to the left all the way, but the tone quality is slightly different

from when the [TUBE AMP] button is OFF, because it passes through the Tube Amp cir-

cuitry.

As you turn it to the right, the distortion value increases, and the color of the LED of the

[TUBE AMP] button changes from green to red, in accordance with the amount of distor-

tion.

NOTE: You can fine-set the distortion degree. (P. 78)

TUBE AMP CIRCUIT

Tubes are rarely used in modern electric

apparatuses but because semi-conductors

are better characteristics and because

tubes are inferior in many aspects.

However, in some areas, tubes are again

popular because of their specific charac-

teristics, which are produced only by tubes.

People are still searching for the sound

simulating that of tubes for effectors.

In this keyboard, a real Tube circuit is used.

LESLIE

LESLIE EFFECT is the simulated sound of the rotating speakers.

If you connect the real Leslie speakers to this keyboard, it controls those (speakers).

[ON] BUTTON

If you touch this button, the LED will light, and the rotor starts turning. Also the

voice is heard thru the rotary channel.

[FAST] BUTTON

This switches the speed of the rotor in two steps. It switches every time you touch it.

When the LED is ON, it is FAST, and when the LED is off, it is SLOW.

[BRAKE] BUTTON

This button sets the action when the [ON] button is OFF.

When the LED is light, it is BRAKE (= The speed gradually slows down and stops.)

and if the LED is OFF, it is THROUGH. (= The Leslie effect is by-passed and the

voice comes out of the stationary channel.)

NOTE: You may not be able to control the Break or Through on some Leslie models.

NOTE: You can fine-set the LESLIE effect i.e. speeds. (P. 72)

In the Leslie speakers, generally, an amplifier 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

effect.

There also exist such models as have not only the rotors but sta-

tionary speakers - switchable.

The circuit to send the sound to the rotor is called “Rotary Chan-

nel” and that to the stationary speaker is called “Stationary Chan-

nel”.

The built-in Leslie Effect simulates them and you can get the best

effect when connected stereophonic.

The larger the value gets, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is pronounced.

Also, the smaller the value gets below 4, the slower gets the attack rate (= the drawbars’

starting-up speed).

3. CLICK - RELEASE LEVEL

The larger the value gets, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is pronounced.

Also, the smaller the value gets below 4, the slower gets the release rate (= the drawbar

volume’s fading speed).

TONE-WHEEL SET

Each Tone-wheel Set allows you to make finer adjustment. (P. 68)

KEY-CLICK

The “Key Click” is the noise heard every time the key is touched or released on the B-3/C-3, as the voice is generated by mechanically switching ON and OFF on these models. The function on this model simulates the good old noise.

4. CLICK - LPF

This allows you to set the tone of the Key-Click.

The setting range is 0 - 127. The larger the value, the brighter the Key-Click.

5. FOLD-BACK - LOW

This allows you to set at which key the 16' Drawbar starts the FOLD-BACK. (Fold-back:

Repeating the same octave in a certain range on the keyboard.)

The first key (= the far left key on the manual, next to the Preset Keys) is displayed as

“1C”. The setting range is 1C - 2C.

6. FOLD-BACK - HIGH

This allows you to set at which key the 1' Drawbar starts to FOLD-BACK (= repeat the

same octave) in the upper-most range. The set range is 4G - 5C.

NOTE: The FOLD-BACK sets not only the 1' but also 11/3', 13/5', 2' and 22/3' Drawbars.

10. SUSTAIN - ON

This allows you to set whether or not to use the Sustain function.

It functions at ON.

11. SUSTAIN - LENGTH

This allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after you release the key), when

the SUSTAIN - ON (item #12) is ON.

1 is the shortest, and 5 is the longest decay time.

12. VELOCITY

This allows you to set a value for the Velocity. The setting range is OF and 1 - 4. At OF,

the volume does not change however hard you touch the key. As the value increases

from 1 - 4, the sound gets louder even if you touch the key softly.

 When the velocity is 1 - 4, it sounds when you touch the key slightly further

than OF.

13. KEY MODE

This allows you to set the Pedal Part voice mode.

together.

NOTE: The previously released note will be cut when you touch the new one, even when the

PEDAL Part is in the POLY mode and SUSTAIN is ON.

NOTE: When the note-data of the Pedal Part are received from the MIDI IN jack while the

value of the parameter [MIDI IN] (P. 96 #2) is “IN1/IN2”, the Pedal Part produces poly-

phonic sound, regardless of the value.

SUSTAIN

This is the function that the volume slowly fades out after the key is released, not like that of the synthesizers.

VELOCITY

“Velocity” is the strength to touch the key. When you touch the piano hard, the hammer hits the string hard and so the sound gets loud. In an organ, the sound level does not change however hard you touch the key. So this function is effective if you use when the Decay Rate is other than C, or Decay.
