ORGAN SECTION IN DETAIL
KEYBOARDS AND PARTS
Th e classic Hammond Organ has two manuals or keyboards and a pedal keyboard
(or pedal clavier). Commonly, the two keyboards will be registered diff erently - for
example, the Upper Keyboard will have a registration appropriate for Melody while
the Lower Keyboard will have an Accompaniment registration to provide harmonic
backing for the Melody. In addition, the Pedals will have a setting appropriate for bass
notes.
Th
e ORGAN Section of the SK PRO can function as a classic Hammond Organ by
dividing or “Splitting” the keyboard into two Parts. When SPLIT is active, “UPPER”
is the portion of the keyboard to the right of the SPLIT Point and “LOWER” is to the
left of the SPLIT Point.
In addition, the PEDAL Part can be played either from a connected MIDI pedalboard,
or from the keyboard by using the PEDAL TO LOWER feature when SPLIT is active.
