Introduction
 IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

Your Hammond XK-3 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-3 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 apper in the display (the screen in the
left of the keyboard 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, 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-3.

*#1 :-Owner’s Manual

 BATTERY BACK UP

Your XK-3 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-3 will re-initialize itself, and the factory
default settings will be restored. 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 9

ACCURATELY REPRODUCES THE TONE-WHEEL SOUND.

Your new XK-3 contains (96) independent oscillating digital tone-wheels and accurately reproduces the
sound of the Vintage B-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.

Your XK-3 is equipped with a vacuum tube preamplifier.
This will provide you with the warm, crunch, and hard overdrive sounds.
The Overdrive circuit consists of two bands. Thus even if the sound is distorted hard, you can still obtain
purer harmony.

DIGITAL LESLIE / VIBRATO EFFECTS.

The XK-3 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.

11 PIN LESLIE SPEAKER SOCKET.

Your new XK-3 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.

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 auto-
matically to the center position.
NOTE: You can adjust the value of the wheel change. (P. 58)
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
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
expression pedal that you have conneted. (P. 60)

Fig.: V-20R (optional)

FOOT SWITCH
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. 61)

24 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-3 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
registration on the panel (= the length of the Draw-bars) always
corresponds with the internal registration.
NOTE: You can initialize the contents to the default setting.
(P. 74)

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-3 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 Draw-bars. (P. 54)
NOTE: The present registration is shown on the “Play” mode display. (P.
47)

ADD PERCUSSION
The “Percussion” referred to here is not a percussion instrument
itself, 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
harmonic 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. 67)

ADD EFFECTS
“Vibrato and Chorus” slightly changes the Drawbar pitch at a certain ratio and add warmth to
VIBRATO/CHORUS
the sound.

[VIBRATO/CHORUS] 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 set the speed of Vibrato/Chorus. (P. 71)

OVERDRIVE 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.

LESLIE
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.
68)

REVERB
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. 73)

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. 84)
NOTE: The Split function does not work, when the MIDI IN jack is used for
“LOWER/PEDAL”. (P. 86)
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”.

[MANUAL 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 upto B
in the center when it leaves the factory.
NOTE: You can move the upper limit of the Manual Bass. (P. 84)
NOTE: The Manual Bass function is controlled by connected MIDI keyboard
when the purpose of the MIDI IN jack is at “LOWER/PEDAL”. (P. 86)
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. 55)
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”.

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 TONE-WHEEL SET

The sound source or “engine” of Hammond Organ is the Tone-wheels. They are The Tone-wheel Sets are divided into the
like the strings and pick-ups on the electric guitar. While running, each of the 96 Manual Keyboard and the Pedal Part. This is

KEYS or Sustain Effect. (= the sound gradually
fading out after the key is released).
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.
HARMONICS
DRAWBARS Harmonic is a pitch of a different ratio to a
The Draw-bars prepare the basic sounds. Each bar adjusts the value of each certain pitch; for example, the one octave
harmonic (as an example, 9 harmonics for the manual keyboard). higher C to the middle C. The more Harmon-
ics, the brighter and richer sound is obtained.
PERCUSSION
The Percussion makes decay sound, synchronizing with the key touch of the
UPPER part.

VIBRATO/CHORUS
Vibrato gives vibration to the pitch. By mixing the vibrato sound with the
fundamental 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.

TUBE AMP
Having a real tube in the Amp gives the XK-3 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 Leslie (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
32 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 (2 2/3') plus the fifth harmonic (1 3/5') come out at the same time. On this
keyboard, 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. 54)

*#1 :-Owner’s Manual

 33

WHITE 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.

BLACK DRAWBARS
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, mellow strings and so on.

BROWN 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
5 1/3' 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.

DRAWBAR REGISTRATION PATTERNS

The Drawbar Registration is matched by digits, if precisely. However, in the usual play, it is rather
reasonable to remember the typical combinations of the 9 Drawbars by their forms/shapes.

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 Drwabar 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. 58)

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 Combi-
nation Preset, keep depressing the Preset Key for a while. Combination Preset is
recalled and then the physical Drawbar Registration is reflected.

WHAT IS THE LESLIE EFFECT?

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
stationary speakers - switchable.
The circuit to send the sound to the rotor is called “Rotary
Channel” and that to the stationary speaker is called “Stationary
Channel”.
The built-in Leslie Effect simulates them and you can get the best
effect when connected stereophonic.

MOTOR
There is no pitch-bend function on the B-3/C-3.
So some musicians turned off the power while
playing in order to get that effect.
If the B-3/C-3 is turned off, the Tone-wheel
motor gradually slows down and stops, and the
amplifier does as well. This function is to
simulate that on this model.

MOTOR: The pitch gradually rises up to the set
6. BEND - MODE (P) point.
It switches the function of the PITCH BEND wheel.
BEND:
You can slide the pitch by rotating the PITCH BEND wheel.
MOTOR:
You can control the TONE-WHEEL motor. The motor turns on when it is in the
center or in the neutral position, stops when you rotate it forward (toward
yourself), and accelerates when you push it back.

7. BEND - TIME (P)

This sets the time for slowing down to stop or accelerating the motor when it [= BEND: The pitch immediately comes to
MODE(6)] is in the MOTOR mode. normal.
The value ranges from 0.1[s] to 5.0[s]. MOTOR: The pitch gradually comes to normal.

8. BEND - AMPLIFIER (P)

This decides whether to turn off the amplifier or not by rotating the PITCH BEND
wheel forward (toward yourself).
When the value of this parameter is “OF”, the pitch goes down and the sound gradu-
ally fades out.

9. MODULATION - LESLIE (P)

Assigns the Modulation Wheel to Leslie Fast Function.
ON: If you push back the Modulation Wheel, it is FAST, and if you pull it forward,
SLOW speed.
BEND: The pitch immediately falls.
OF: Does not function.
MOTOR: The pitch gradually falls down to the
set point.
NOTE: The parameters by the names with (P) on the tail are Preset Parameters, and are
recorded to each Combination Preset. (G) is for “Global”. These parameters will
be recorded when set, and are common in each Combinsation Preset.

What is "MIDI"?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. (The capital letters of these four
words.)
MIDI is for exchanging the performance information between an electronic musical
instrument and a sequencer etc.
MIDI is an international standard, by which instruments made by different manufacturers
can be connected to communitate with each other.
The control information is exchanged, such as the performance infos. of a key being
touched/released and the tone being switched, the damper pedal being pressed/released.

MIDI TERMINALS ON THIS KEYBOARD

MIDI OUT
Sends Performance Informations.

MIDI IN 1 (PEDAL)

MIDI IN 2 (LOWER)
These receives the MIDI Signal. Each MIDI terminal is set to do the same function, when
this keyboard is delivered from the factory.
NOTE: Each MIDI IN terminal can be set for exclusively receiving the LOWER and PEDAL
PART. (P. 86)

WHAT THE MIDI CAN DO ON YOUR KEYBOARD

On this keyboard, the MIDI terminals are intended to do the following:
Πexpand the keyboard and use this as an organ.
Πrecord or playback your performance to external computer or sequencer.
Πcontrol the external sound source such as a synthesizer and a sampler.
Also, to do the setting simply, the "MIDI Template" function is prepared.

MIDI CHANNEL
MIDI has the “MIDI CHANNELS” 1 - 16. Thus, you can send your playing information
divided into 16 channels through one MIDI cable.
However, the channel must match between the sender and the receiver. Otherwise, you can
not “hear” what the other “says”.

MAJOR MIDI MESSAGE

The MIDI infomation is grouped into the channel message per each of the 16 channels and
the system message for the total channels. The main MIDI message is as follows: See for
details in the MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART.

CHANNEL MESSAGE
 NOTE ON
This is for the 3 data: which key (Note Number), at what Speed (Velocity) and Play (Note
ON).
The sound engine of this keyboard receives velocity only for Percussion and Pedal.
Manual Drawbars oscillates at a certain volume, regardless of the velocity.
 PROGRAM CHANGE
KEYBOARD CHANNEL:
Switches the Combination Presets.
EXTERNAL ZONE:
Switches the program of the External Sound Modules.
 CONTROL CHANGE
Data will be sent/received corresponding to the action of the Expression Pedal, Foot
Switch, Modulation, etc.

SYSTEM MESSAGE
 SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGE
These messages are for sending and receiving the characteristic data between the same
model or the products made by the same manufacturer.
This keyboard has the Current Dump (transmit the total present setting) and can record the
data to the External Sequencer.

MIDI
80 MIDI STRUCTURE OF THIS KEYBOARD
The XK-3 has only a single keyboard but the sound engine has the three parts:
UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL.
Also this has three "EXTERNAL ZONES" to control the external (= outside)
MIDI equipments.
For these reasons, there are 6 MIDI CHANNELS on this keyboard.

KEYBOARD CHANNEL
UPPER
This is for sending and controlling the UPPER Part performance informaion, switching the
Combination Presets and sending/receiving Expression.

LOWER
This is for the LOWER Part performance informaiton not only for controlling but switching
data of the Preset for the LOWER Part independently.

PEDAL
This is for sending and receiving the PEDAL Part performance information and controlling.

EXTERNAL ZONE CHANNEL

EX. ZONE 1, EX. ZONE 2, EX. ZONE 3
You can use your XK-3 as a simple Master Keyboard, by assigning the range of the full scale
keyboard through the channel to control each External MIDI equipment. You can do the
different setting per each Combination Preset.

of the drive is different from the position of the knob.
Switch OFF the [TUBE AMP] button, or, turn the [TUBE OVERDRIVE] knob
to the left, to the point where it is not distorted. You can easily check the actual
drive value by the [TUBE AMP]. (P. 39)
ΠDepending on the headphones you use, the sound is sometimes distorted when
you turn the [MASTER VOLUME] to the maximum. In such a case, set the
[MASTER VOLUME] in the middle.

ton is switched ON. Before you will hear the sound.

 The sound is not distorted if the [TUBE OVERDRIVE] knob

is turned.
Œ When the Overdrive Expression is at “EX-OD”, it does not distort if the value
of Expression is low. In such a case, increase the Expression value, or, set the
Overdrive Expression at “OD-EX”, if you want to distort regardless of the Ex-
pression value. (P. 71)
