 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.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

 Introduction 1

INTRODUCTION

Basic Hook-Up

All connections are found on the Accessory Panel on the back of the XK-2.

Ë A.C. Power

Your Hammond XK-2 is shipped from the factory set for 120 V.A.C. power. To connect the XK-2 to A.C.
power:

1. Locate the A.C. Power Cord that came with your XK-2.

2. Plug the female end of the Power Cord into the receptacle on the XK-2 marked, “AC IN.”

3. Plug the other end of the Power Cord into an A.C. power outlet.

Ë Audio Connections

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.

2 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.

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 2-
channel 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 MIDI-compatible device. See the MIDI section starting on page 54 for more information about MIDI
connections and your Hammond XK-2.

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 -

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

 Drawbars 11

TRY THIS:

1. Make sure all Drawbars, are "IN" (off) and that the LED above the UPPER Touch Button in
the DRAWBAR SELECT Group is “ON.”

2. Hold down a C chord, starting with E above middle "C,” ("E,” "G" & "C" notes) with your
right hand on the manual.

3. Starting with the 8' Drawbar, pull out and push in each of the FOUNDATION Drawbars one
group at a time until you have a sound that you like.

4. While still holding the "C" chord down, pull each of the brown SUB Drawbars out until you
like the sound.

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.
TRY THIS:

1. Make sure all Drawbars are pushed "IN" (off) and that the LED above the UPPER Touch
Button in the DRAWBAR SELECT Group is “ON.”

2. Hold down middle "C" on the Upper Manual.

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.

TRY THIS:

1. Make sure all Drawbars are pushed "IN" (off) and that the LED above the UPPER Touch
Button in the DRAWBAR SELECT Group is “ON.”

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

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

4. Now pull the 3 Black Drawbars all the way out.

The sound produced by the Drawbars is that of a clarinet.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

12 Drawbars

Ë Brown Drawbars

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 DRAWBAR SELECT Group is “ON.”

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.
The second brown Drawbar is the "sub-octave" of the third harmonic. 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 DRAWBAR SELECT Group is “ON.”

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.

5. Now pull the second brown Drawbar out, and you will hear it add a richness to the sound of
the "C" note that you are holding down.

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.

Ë Drawbar Fold Back

There are two function selections to the Drawbar Fold Back Advanced Feature Menu of the XK-2: (1) Select
how low the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar will play on each manual (from “2C” down to “1C”). (2) Set the
upper frequency limit for each manual (from “4G” to “5C”).
On the earliest model Hammond Organs, the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar (the one marked, “16'”) would
continue to play all the way down to the lowest "C" ("1C"). Newer models such as the Hammond Models X-
66, X-77 and Concorde do the same, however, the 8th harmonic Drawbar (the one marked “1'”) continues to
play up the manual to the next to highest "C" ("5C") on the manual. On a B-3, the lowest note produced by
the Sub-Fundamental Drawbar is the 2nd "C" ("2C") from the left end of the manual, while the highest note
that can be played by the 8th harmonic Drawbar is the 4th "F<" from the left end of the manual. The lower
and higher keys on the manual "Fold Back,” in that they repeat the pitches played by other notes.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

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.

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.

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

 Effects 37

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.

Using a Leslie Speaker Cabinet

Your Hammond XK-2 is designed to directly interface with a Leslie Speaker Cabinet. A Leslie Speaker
cabinet, in addition to amplifying the basic sound, also uses mechanical rotors which turn at different speeds
to add different animation effects. The data chart below shows the options available.

LESLIE ROTOR SPEED OPTIONS

Description Function
SLOW (Chorale) Rotors will turn slowly (Chorale), producing an effect suitable for use with hymns, classical style music and some
slower songs.
OFF Rotors do not turn. Animation can be provided by using Vibrato and Chorus.
FAST (Tremolo) Rotors will speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich full sound.

NOTE: The above table shows the options which can be selected for either a single- or multi-channel Leslie Speaker cabinet
using an 11-pin interface.

There are two ways to control the speed of the rotors of a connected Leslie Speaker cabinet:

1. Using the Leslie Touch Buttons. This is explained on page 35.

2. Using a Foot Switch. This is explained starting on page 96.

NOTE: If more than one of the above options is selected, the rotors of the connected Leslie Speaker cabinet will respond to
whichever control is in use.

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.

Hammond XK-2 Quick Features Guide

 MIDI 55

Typical Applications

Ë Example 1: The XK-2 connected to an amplifier.

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

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.

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.)

Important Note - Battery

Your Hammond XK-2 uses a battery-backed RAM to remember your changes to the Preset, Leslie and System
Parameters. When the battery voltage becomes low, the Information Center Display will show this message:

!! ATTENTION !!
<CHANGE BATTERY>

If you see this message, 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 completely dead, the Information Center Display
will show this message:

!!! WARNING !!!

<CHECK BATTERY>

After the above message is displayed, the XK-2 will re-initialize itself, and the factory default settings will be
restored. Therefore, it is a good idea to periodically back up your data.
