Hammond Skx PRO User manual

REFERENCE
GUIDE

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Your Hammond SKX PRO is designed to give you the true and authentic
sound of Hammond Harmonic Drawbars, as well as provide you a large
variety of other sounds and features to allow great flexibility in how you
want to play. This Guide is designed to explain the operating features of
your Hammond SKX PRO as simply and graphically as possible.
Because we want to make this Guide as easy to understand as possible, the
explanations are grouped by subject matter, and not necessarily in the order
in which they appear in the Information Center Display (the screen on 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 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 keyboard 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:
2. Read each step carefully.
2. Don't skip any of the steps.
2. 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 SKX PRO.
