Hammond Sk PRO User manual

REFERENCE
GUIDE

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ
Your Hammond SK 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 SK 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 SK PRO.

INTRODUCTION
uBasic Hook-Up
All connections are found on the Accessory Panel on the back of the SK PRO.
tAC Power
Your Hammond SK PRO is shipped from the factory set for 120V.AC power. To connect the SK PRO keyboard
to A.C. power:
1. Locate the AC Power Cord that came with your SK PRO.
2. Plug the female end of the AC Power Cord into the receptacle on the SK PRO marked, “AC IN.”
3. Plug the 3-pronged Power Cord into a grounded A.C. power outlet.
tAudio Connections
You can either:
1. Connect the SK PRO to an external sound source (amplifier, studio mixer, or sound
reinforcement direct box),or
2. Connect the SK PRO to a Leslie Speaker cabinet.
Connecting to an external sound source
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 (marked LINE OUT)
on the Accessory Panel.
3. Connect the other ends of each cable to the female 1/4" audio input connectors of your sound
source.
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 SK PRO, and the other end to
the female 1/4" audio input connector of your amplifier.
Connecting a Leslie Speaker
The 11-pin Leslie socket on your SK PRO allows you to plug directly into any Leslie speaker having an 11-pin
interface. If you wish to use a Leslie Speaker with your SK PRO, the Leslie Speaker should be connected
before turning the power "ON." To do this:
1. Locate an 11-pin Leslie Connector Cable.
2. Plug one end of the Connector Cable into the receptacle on the Leslie Speaker.
3. Plug the other end of the Connector Cable into the 11-pin Leslie socket found on the Accessory
Panel of the SK PRO.
Both the Leslie connections are "keyed,” that is, each connection contains a notch which insures that
the pins properly match up.
