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:

This sign shows there is a risk of death or severe injury if this unit is not properly used WARNING as instructed.

This sign shows there is a risk of injury or material damage if this unit is not properly

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 adaptor.

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.

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

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 become 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.

*# 1 :/Owner’s Manual

CAUTION

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

Always grasp only the plug on the AC adaptor cord when plugging 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 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.

Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

In case if in the future your instrument gets too old to play or malfunctions 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 lighting system).

The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive 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 speakers or other devices.

Placement

Using 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.

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 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.

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 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.

Do 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

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

Maintenance

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

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 important 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, sliders, 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 (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

*# 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 batteries.

WHAT IS “PART” ?

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].

*# 1 :/Owner’s Manual

PLAY WITH THE CONTROLLERS	23

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 explain in the next page.)

PITCH BEND

You can change the pitch while playing, by receiving the Pitch Bend information.

NOTE: You can adjust the amount of the pitch change by the Pitch Bend information. (P. 54 #1 to 4)

This figure shows an example: XK-1.

EXPRESSION PEDAL

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)

This figure shows V-20R ( = optional, to be separately purchased).

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 “UPPER”, 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

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

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

Touch the [RECORD] button. The Record mode appears.

2

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 immediate previous mode.

NOTE: The recorded Patch data are not lost even after the power is turned off.
