cedar Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I just took out my Hammond xk1c for first time in about 5 months for a gig tonight, and can't believe that I am forgetting how to do the most basic thing: I just can't get the damn thing to play the lower manual drawbar settings. In other words, I select "lower", move the drawbars around, can see the settings change on the display, but the sound does not change. It seems that the entire manual is playing only the upper manual drawbar settings. This happens regardless of whether split is selected. Maybe I previously fooled with the zone settings somehow and forgot? More likely, I'm missing something obvious. Ordinarily, I'd be too embarrassed to pose this question here, but I do have a gig in a few hours and I'd really like to be able to play two sounds at once.

mate stubb Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The keys always play the upper manual sound, unless you turn split on. You can also hear the lower drawbars from an external keyboard inputting midi channel 2. Are you sure the split sound is not affected by lower db settings?

mate stubb Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I just turned mine on the check. With Lower Drawbars selected and Split on, any drawbar moves I make sound below the split. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Golly Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 The lower registration only plays on the left side of the split when split is enabled, or via MIDI on Channel 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Then maybe I have an actual issue. My split is enabled but still only sound of the upper manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 And I am sure this is occurring below the split point. I am pushing all drawbars in all the way, with split on, and no change in the lower registers at all, even though the display shows the changes.

cedar Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 My best guess is that I disabled the split many months ago, perhaps when fiddling with MIDI settings. My inability to deal with that stuff is partly what led me to get a Mojo. But still have the occasional need - like tonight - for just the single manual.

Sven Golly Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 So pretend you just rolled in and the lower manual on the backline Hammond doesn't work, and the Bb preset key won't stay down. Otherwise the manual is available online, so you can figure out what you may have done. Clonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedar Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Problem solved. It was indeed due to a change in the Midi settings, which disabled shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
