HA Sk1 / Sk2 Owner’s Manual40 ORGAN SECTIONORGAN TYPEThere are various “Organ” types: the Hammond Tone-Wheel organs used in every-where rock, jazz, and Gospel, the transistor organ frequently heard in pop music of‘60’s. Classical pipe organ used in classical music or church services. All organs havecharacteristic sounds.The keyboard will sound like the types of organ you choose.TONE-WHEELS (BType1, BType2, Mellow)These are various types of Hammond Organs’ characteristic tone wheels. The Ham-mond Organ’s original purpose was to duplicate the pipe organ, however, they be-came famous for producing a unique sound of their own.The BType1 and BType2 have the B-3/C-3’s traditional Tone-Wheel sounds. TheBType2 has more wow-flutter and leakage noise.The Mellow is not a Tone-Wheel, if strictly speaking. It replicates the first-generationnon-mechanical Transistor Hammond Tone Generators like the GT-7 and Concord.TRANSISTOR (Vx, Farf)After the transistor became generally used, the light weight organs were introduced(such as Ace Tone TOP-6 etc.) using the transistor circuit instead of the tone wheelsor tubes. The circuit system is different from maker to maker or model by model. Wehave replicated 2 representative types here.The Vx is a type to combine the triangle wave and square wave with several footages.The Farf is one to combine the sound wave forms coming through plural filters withthe tablet switch.PIPEThe pipe organ produces sounds by oscillating the air sent through the pipe. Thename of Stops tells you which wind instruments that you are duplication.You can create other sounds by combining different organ Stops, in the same wayDrawbars are used on this keyboard.
