Since the XPK-100 has no Power Switch, A.C. power will be applied as soon as the unit is
connected to an outlet.
NOTE: The XPK-100 is also outfitted with a clip next to the AC receptacle. This is used to secure the AC cord so that
it will not accidentally come unplugged.
Ë MIDI Connections
In order to use the XPK-100, the unit must be connected via MIDI to a keyboard or other MIDIcompatible device.
A Word About 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 com puter, 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.

ADVANCED FEATURES
Your Hammond XPK-100 has a number of special functions, called Advanced Features, that allow you
to further enhance your playing and create exactly the musical performance you want. A list of the
Advanced Features can be affixed to the XPK-100 itself to make them easier to remember.
The above picture shows the decal which can be affixed to the XPK-100. Notice that the Advanced
Features appear in two groups.
Advanced Features E00 through E06 control the internal MIDI data of the XPK-100.
Advanced Features E07 through E12 are features which send MIDI Controller data out to
a connected MIDI device. This data falls into two categories:
1. NPRN (Non-Registered Parameter Data) which activates Touch Tabs on a
Hammond Drawbar Keyboard or functions on the Hammond XM-1 Drawbar
Module;
