Owner’s Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before using this unit, please carefully read this “Safety Instructions” and use it correctly.
Please be sure to keep this manual at hand even after reading it once.
This “Safety Instructions” section contains very important points for securing your safety. Strictly observe the instructions, please.
In this manual, the degrees of dangers and damages are classified and explained as follows:
WARNING
as instructed.
This sign shows there is a risk of injury or material damage if this unit is not properly
This sign shows there is a risk of death or severe injury if this unit is not properly used
CAUTION
used as instructed.
*Material damage here means a damage to the room, furniture or animals or pets.
WARNING
Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adap-
tor.
Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts in it (except
when this manual provides specific instructions directing you
to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest
Hammond, or an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed
on the “Service” page.
Never use or store the unit in places that are:
Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in
an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heatgenerating equipment)
Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors)
Humid
Exposed to rain
Dusty
Subject to high levels of vibration.
Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit.
Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches
the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other
AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a
different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.
Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place
heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing
severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire
and shock hazards!
This 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 long period 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 an audiologist.
Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from
the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest
Hammond, or an authorized Hammond distributor, as listed
on the “Service” page when:
The AC adaptor, the power-supply cord, or the plug has
been damaged; or
If smoke or unusual odor occurs
Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto
the unit; or
The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has be-
come wet); or
The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance.
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.
Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
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.
Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Hammond, or an authorized Hammond
distributor, as listed on the “Service” page.
Do 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.
Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins,
pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
*#1 :/Owner’s Manual
CAUTION
The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their loca-
tion or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.
Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plug-
ging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
At 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.
Try 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.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.
Never handle the AC adaptor or its plugs with wet hands
when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet of this
unit.
Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and
all cords coming from external devices.
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug
the AC adaptor from the outlet.
Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your
area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.
In case if in the future your instrument gets too old to play or mal-
functions beyond repair, please observe the instructions of this
mark, or, if any question, be sure to contact your dealer or your
nearest town or municipal office for its proper disposal.
Introduction
IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Power Supply
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 light-
ing system).
The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of con-
secutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to
all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speak-
ers or other devices.
Placement
Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment contain-
ing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the prob-
lem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do
not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
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.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise sub-
ject 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.
When 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 at-
tempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the
unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the conden-
sation has completely evaporated.
Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the
unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or other-
wise harmfully affect the finish
Maintenance
To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that is slightly damp-
ened.
To 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.
Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
Please 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 impor-
tant data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI
device (e.g., a sequencer).
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.
Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, slid-
ers, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough
handling can lead to malfunctions.
When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself - never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing
shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
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).
When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (includ-
ing padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to
use equivalent packaging materials.
Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this instrument. Peeling
such matter off the instrument may damage the exterior finish.
*#1 :/Owner’s Manual
BATTERY BACK UP
Your XM-2 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 XM-2 will re-initialize itself, and the factory
default settings will be restored. Therefore, it is a good idea to periodically save your
data to a sequencer.
CAUTION: Ask your dealer or store for the details how to change the batter-
ies.

WHAT IS “PART” ?
*#1 :/Owner’s Manual
A [PART] is like a player in a band or in an orchestra.
Like an organ with 3 manuals can produce 3 different sounds, this unit also can produce 3 different
parts, Upper, Lower, and Pedal, because it has these 3 different parts.
NOTE: The function that makes it possible to use multiple sounds is called [Multi-Timbre].
You can play more expressively if you operate the controller while playing.
Let us explain in this page about the controller generally used in electronic
musical instruments. (About the unique HAMMOND Controller, let us ex-
plain in the next page.)
PITCH BEND
PLAY WITH THE CONTROLLERS
You can change the pitch while playing, by receiving the Pitch Bend informa-
tion.
NOTE: You can adjust the amount of the pitch change by the Pitch Bend
information. (P. 54 #1 to 4)
23
This figure shows an example: XK-1.
EXPRESSION PEDAL
This figure shows V-20R ( = optional, to be
separately purchased).
On an organ, generally not like on the piano, the velocity, i.e. touch on the keys,
does not give any dynamics.
However, if you connect an expression pedal ( = optional) to this unit, or receive
the expression information from the MIDI, you can change the volume and give
expression to your play.
The volume of the Expression Pedal gets maximum when fully depressed on the
toe-side and gets minimum when fully returned on the heel-side.
NOTE: Set this unit to match the model of your expression pedal. (P. 56
#13)
FOOT SWITCH
This figure shows FS-9H ( = optional, to be
separately purchased).
This is used for controlling various switches by foot instead of doing it by hand.
In the default settings, “Leslie Fast” is assigned here.
NOTE: You can change the assignment of the foot switch. (P. 57 #19 to 20)

CREATE YOUR OWN SOUNDS
Let us here explain how to create the unique HAMMOND sounds such as Drawbars,
Percussion sounds and the sounds obtained by using the Vibrato or Leslie effects.
The example here is after a MIDI Keyboard (set for MIDI Channel 1) is connected to
the MIDI IN 1 terminal of this unit (immediately after delivery from your dealer).
SELECT PATCH 128.
Call out Patch Number 128. The default setting of this Patch is the
simplest of all, so it is best suited for creating new sounds.
MAKE THE DRAWBAR REGISTRATION
Touch the [DRAWBAR] button. The display turns into the Drawbar
Registration (how far the bars are drawn) mode.
In this mode, the basic sounds using the Drawbars are created.
Adjust the volume of each footage in the range of the displayed “UP-
PER”, while touching the keys.
The volume gets loud when the value of each footage (each digit of
Drawbar Registration) increases. It gets quieter when the value gets
smaller. Basically, the pitch gets higher from left to right.
Select the footage by the [PARAM] button, and change the value by
the [VALUE] knob. Operate the other parameters in the same way.
The most frequently used registrations are 3 fully drawn left-side
bars and all 9 fully drawn bars.
NOTE: You can change the characters of the Drawbars. (P. 50 )
ADD PERCUSSION
*#1 :/Owner’s Manual
The “Percussion” here is not the ordinary percussion instrument but
that of decaying sounds that adds lively and articulate sounds. Mix
the sounds with the Drawbar sounds whenever you want.
Touch the [PERC] button. The display turns into the PERCUSSION
mode.
Turn ON and OFF each value of “2ND” and “3RD” of the parameter
by the [PARAM] button and the [VALUE] knob. The decay sounds
of an octave higher “DO” (the second harmonics) and “SO” (the third
harmonics) are added to the note on the keyboard.
The decay speed gets faster if you change “DCY” from SLW to FST.
The Percussion volume goes down if you change “VOL” from NOR
to SFT.
NOTE: You can fine-adjust the percussion volume etc. (P. 61)
ADD EFFECTS
VIBRATO AND CHORUS
25
Warmth can be added to the sound by slightly changing the Drawbar
pitch in a certain cycle.
Touch the [VIB&CHO] button. The display changes to Vibrato and
Chorus mode.
“MODE”
This sets the depth of the Vibrato effect. At OF no effect is added.
As the value gets larger from 1 to 3, the effect gets deeper.
“CHORUS”
Vibrato sound is mixed to the original tone, and thickness is added to
the sound when you turn this on.
LESLIE
This gives the effects of a live performance feelings by the feeling of
turning rotors.
Touch the [LESLIE] button. The display changes to the Leslie mode.
“SW”
Turn this ON to get the Leslie effects.
“S/F”
This switches the Rotor speed to SLOW or FAST (2 steps). The most
popular style is to play at SLOW basically and then to change to
FAST only at the climax.
“OFF”
This sets the action when the value of the parameter “SW” of the
Leslie effect is OF. BRAK stands for Brake. (The Rotor gradually
slows down and then finally stops.) THRU stands for Through. (The
Leslie effect is bypassed.)
NOTE: These parameters are used for controlling, in the case
Leslie speakers are connected externally.
NOTE: Fine settings are possible for the turning speed of the
built-in Leslie effects etc.
In this chapter we have explained the settings you can make from the panel buttons.
Let us explain in the next page about the Overdrive and Reverb; elements for creating the
HAMMOND ORGAN sounds.

RECORD TO THE PATCH
The settings you have made so far can be recorded or memorized to your desired
Patches.
You can also freely rewrite the built-in Patches when delivered from the factory.
EXAMPLE: RECORD INTO “011”
1
2
Touch the [RECORD] button. The Record mode appears.
Select the Patch Number (011 in this example) to record to by the
[VALUE] knob.
3
Touch the [ENTER] button. The Patch is decided and the following
is displayed in the mode for certain seconds:
Recording Patch...
When the recording is completed, the display returns to the immedi-
ate previous mode.
NOTE: The recorded Patch data are not lost even after the
power is turned off.
