IMPORTANT - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your Hammond XE-1 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 XE-1 as simply and graphically as possible.
Because we want to make this keyboard, as well as the keyboard itself,
as easy to understand as possible, the explanations in this keyboard are
grouped by subject matter, and not in the order in which they necessarily
appear in the Information Center Display (the screen in the center of 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 already 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:
1.
2.
3.
Read each step carefully.
Don't skip any of the steps.
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 XE-1.

Introduction

INTRODUCTION
♦ Basic Hook-Up
All connections except the Headphone Jack are found on the Accessory Panel on the back of the
XE-1. The Headphone Jack is located on the front of the instrument just below the Disk Drive
Slot. Please refer to the diagram on page 4 to see the various hookups described in this section.
Refer to the numbered bullets before each paragraph and on the diagram.
• A.C. Power
Your Hammond XE-1 is shipped from the factory set for 120 V.A.C. power. To connect the XE-1
to A.C. power:
1.
Locate the A.C. Power Cord that came with your XE-1.
2.
Plug the female end of the Power Cord into the receptacle on the XE-1
marked, “AC IN.”
3.
Plug the other end of the Power Cord into an A.C. power outlet.
Audio Connections
Your XE-1 is equipped with a high-quality built-in sound system. However, it may be desired to
hear the sounds produced by the XE-1 through external sound sources. You can either:
1.
Connect the XE-1 to an amplifier, or;
2.
Connect the XE-1 to a Leslie Speaker cabinet.
‚ Connecting to an Amplifier
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 on the
back of the XE-1.
NOTE: At this point it is assumed that you are using a keyboard or guitar amplifier that has 1/4"
phono plug inputs. We assume this since this is the most common type of connector used on
these types of amplifiers.
3.
Connect the other ends of each cable to the female 1/4" audio input
connectors of your amplifier.
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 XE-1, and the other
end to the female 1/4" audio input connector of your amplifier.
ƒ Connecting a Leslie Speaker (11-pin)
If you wish to use a Leslie Speaker with your XE-1, the Leslie Speaker should be connected
before turning the power "ON". To do this:
1.
Locate the Leslie Connector Cable.
HA<O> Model XE-1 Basic Features Guide
2
Introduction
2.
Plug the female end of the Connector Cable into the receptacle on the back
lower left corner of the Leslie Speaker.
3.
Plug the male end of the Connector Cable into the 11-pin Leslie socket found
on the Accessory Panel of the XE-1.
Both the Leslie connections are "keyed,” that is, each connection contains a notch which
insures that the pins properly match up.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The 11-pin Leslie socket on your XE-1 allows you to plug directly into
many standard 1-, 2- and 3-channel Leslie Speaker cabinets. Some current models: 303,
723, 914. However, it should be noted that when plugging the XE-1 into a single-channel
Leslie cabinet such as a 122XB, only the Drawbars will sound through the Leslie. For this
reason, we recommend that the XE-1 normally be used with a multi-channel Leslie
Speaker.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To connect the XE-1 to a Leslie Speaker having a different pin
configuration such as an older 6-pin 122 or 147, or a 9-pin cabinet such as the 900 series,
760 or 770 cabinets, you will require an adapter kit and/or Connector Cable. Contact your
Hammond Dealer for more information regarding which adapter kit and/or cable you may
need.
„ Connecting a Foot Switch
You can connect an optional foot switch such as the Hammond model FS-9H foot switch to your
XE-1. Simply plug the foot switch plug into the jack marked "FOOT SW" on the back of the XE-1.

ˆ Connecting a Power Supply for the XPK-100 or XLK-1
Since the XPK-100 and the XLK-1 require AC power but have no AC Power Switches, using the
DC power receptacle located on the back of the XE-1 allows you to turn one of these “ON” or
“OFF” from the AC Power Swicth of the XE-1.
NOTE: Use ONLY the power supply provided with the XPK-100 or XLK-1 to plug into the receptacle on the
XE-1. If other power supplies with different specifications are used, damage to one of both units could
result.
‰ Connecting both the XPK-100 and XLK-1 to the XE-1
The XPK-100 has inbuilt MIDI Merge circuitry, allowing it to interface with more than one MIDI
keyboard instrument. The recommended connection is shown on page 4.
NOTE: The DCC-2 cable is a special cable which allows you to interconnect several instruments requiring
AC power so that the entire hook-up can be turned “ON” and “OFF” from one AC Power Switch; in this
case, that of the XE -1. To order or purchase DCC-2 cables, contact your Hammond Dealer.
Š Other MIDI Connections
Your XE-1 can interface with a great number of MIDI-compatible devices. See the MIDI section
starting on page 54 for more information about MIDI connections and your Hammond XE-1.
Connecting an External Sound Source
You may connect an external sound source such as a Sound Module to the XE-1. In this way,
both the XE-1 and the external sound source can be heard through the same speaker system. If
you wish to do this:
1.
Locate 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
on the external sound source.
3.
Connect the other ends of the same audio cables to the jacks marked “LINE
IN” on the back of the XE-1.
Connecting a Microphone to the XE-1
If you plug a microphone into the MICROPHONE IN jack, you can use the XE-1 speakers and
amplifiers as a public-address system. You can control the Microphone Volume and add Echo
effects by means of the two rotary controls located next to the MICROPHONE jacks. An
additional jack marked OUT allows the Microphone signal to be heard through whatever
additional amplification you may be using with your XE-1.

Drawbars, sometimes referred to as Tonebars, for
Upper and Lower Keyboard functions, and two
Drawbars for Pedal tones, located between the
Upper and Lower Keyboard Drawbar sets.
Pulling a Drawbar out (towards you) will increase
the volume from 0 (no sound) to 8 (maximum
volume). Pushing the Drawbar in (away from you)
decreases the volume of that Drawbar.
Please refer to the DRAWBARS & PERCUSSION
section of this Owner’s Playing Guide for a complete explanation of Hammond Drawbars.

Introduction
Pitch Bend & Modulation Wheels
These two controls are located on the left end of the keyboard just above the Disk Drive slot.
Pitch Bend
You can adjust the pitch range, plus or minus, up to 12 half steps.
NOTE: Normally, the Pitch Bend Wheel will raise or lower the pitch one whole-step. How to
change the Pitch Bend Range is explained on page 108 of this Guide.
Modulation Wheel
The Modulation Wheel is used to control Vibrato or Tremolo effects for the Voices,
or to send MIDI Controller data to a connected MIDI device.
Moving either control to the front will increase the intensity of the effect.
Moving either control to the rear will decrease the level.
NOTE: You can select whether the Modulation Wheel will modulate the internal voices of the XE -1.
How to do this is explained on page 108 of this Guide.
♦ Important - Read This
Although the XE-1 is a single-keyboard instrument, it can be made to function in a manner similar
to an instrument with two keyboards and a pedal keyboard, such as an organ. This is the reason
for the references to UPPER, LOWER and PEDAL on the instrument.
On an organ, the UPPER Keyboard is usually used for the melody, and is played with the right
hand. The LOWER Keyboard is usually used to provide accompaniment, or harmonic support for
the melody and is played by the left hand. The PEDAL Keyboard, or clavier, is used to play the
bass notes and is most commonly played by the left foot.
On the XE-1, this playing style is replicated by partitioning or “splitting” the single 61-note
keyboard into two parts. The part played by the right hand is referred to as the UPPER
Keyboard, while the part played by the left hand is referred to as the LOWER Keyboard.
The SPLIT ON Touch Tab, located on the right of the control panel, is used to
divide the keyboard into Upper and Lower Keyboards. When the SPLIT ON
Touch Tab is “ON,” (LED lit), and you are in the PLAY Mode of the Information
Center Display, you will see a portion of the keyboard “highlighted,” or displayed
in reverse-video and a designation such as “C3.” This indicates that the keyboard is split, and
that the third “C” key on the keyboard marks the dividing point between the Upper and Lower
Keyboard.
NOTE: "C3" is the default Split point; however, you can relocate the Split point elsewhere on the
keyboard. This is explained in the KEYBOARD SPLIT section of this Guide.
In addition, if you connect a set of MIDI bass pedals, such as the Hammond
XPK-100, you can then make use of the PEDAL division of the XE-1. However,
the PEDAL TO LOWER Touch Tab allows you to play the Pedal Drawbars and
Voices from the Lower Keyboard.

Drawbars & Percussion
DRAWBARS & PERCUSSION
Manual Drawbars
Your Hammond XE-1 has two sets of nine Drawbars, one for each Manual. Drawbars, often
called Tonebars, are the heart and the basis of the renowned Hammond Sound and have been
used since the first Hammond Organ Model A introduced in 1935.
There are approximately 253,000,000 possible sound combinations that can be produced by
these Drawbars. Each Drawbar consists of sine waves of different pitches (which means tone
depth). The illustration below shows how each Drawbar relates to the keyboard when middle "C"
is pressed.
HA<O> Model XE-1 Basic Features Guide
Drawbars & Percussion

Each Drawbar is marked with a number followed by a footage mark. For example, the first white
Drawbar is marked "8'". This is pipe organ terminology indicating that the pipe used to produce
the lowest note on the keyboard on a pipe organ is actually eight feet long. The numbers from
"1" to "8" on each Drawbar represent degrees of loudness - number 1 being the softest, and
number 8 being the loudest.

NOTE: To hear the tones produced by the Percussion Voice Touch Tabs, the keys of the Upper
Keyboard normally must be played in a detached (non-Legato) manner. If you play a single note and then
hold it down while playing other keys, the Percussion voice will not play again until you release all keys
and again play detached notes.
SECOND HARMONIC
The tone for this harmonic is the same as the sound derived from the 4' Drawbar.
Combining this 2nd harmonic to the Drawbars will produce bright and clear sounds.
THIRD HARMONIC
This harmonic tone is the same one produced by the 2 2/3' Drawbar.
Combining this 3rd harmonic to the Drawbars will produce powerful and
heavy sounds.
FAST DECAY
When this Touch Tab is in its normal state (LED not lighted), the Percussion tone
will decay (die away) slowly like a chime. When FAST DECAY is "ON"
(LED lighted), the Percussion effect will decay rapidly like a xylophone or glockenspiel.
SOFT
This control regulates the volume of the Percussion tone. When it is in its normal
state (LED not lighted), the Percussion effect will be very prominent compared

Use the Number 12 Select Touch Button to turn Percussion Key Tracking "OFF".
Percussion Drawbar Cancel
When Percussion Drawbar Cancel is turned “ON,” the 8th harmonic Drawbar will be canceled
when Percussion is "ON". This replicates the original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response
Percussion Control, such as the B-3, C-3, RT-3 and A-100 series. When this feature is turned
“OFF,” the 8th harmonic Drawbar (1') will continue to sound while Percussion is "ON". This
replicates later Hammond Organs with Percussion.
Use the Number 6 Select Touch Button to turn Percussion Drawbar Cancel "ON".
Use the Number 14 Select Touch Button to turn Percussion Drawbar Cancel "OFF".
Percussion Drawbar Level
This Advanced Feature allows you to set the Drawbar Level when Percussion is “ON” at normal
volume (SOFT Touch Tab “OFF”). When “-3db” is chosen, the Drawbars will be reduced by 3db (-3 decibels) in loudness when Percussion is "ON" at normal volume. This replicates the
original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response Percussion Control. When “0db” is chosen, the
volume of the Drawbars will stay at the same level, or "0db,” when Percussion is "ON" at normal
volume.
Use the Number 7 Select Touch Button to select “0db”.
Use the Number 15 Select Touch Button to select “-3db”.
NOTE: A "decibel" is a unit of measurement for the loudness of sound waves.

V3 - (Full Vibrato) - By pressing both the V1/C1 and the V2/C2 Touch Tabs at the same time, you
turn "ON" Vibrato 3. Vibrato 3 gives the fullest amount of vibrato, adding much warmth and
enhancing your music.
Chorus
When the CHORUS Touch Tab is used, half of the tone is heard without Vibrato, and half
contains the vibrato amount selected by the first two Touch Tabs.
C1 - (Small Chorus) - This produces the light chorus effect.
C2 - (Wide Chorus) - This is the standard depth of the chorus effect.
C3 - (Full Chorus) - By pressing both the V1/C1 and the V2/C2 Touch Tabs at the same time
along with the CHORUS Touch Tab, you get the fullest amount of Chorus, adding warmth that
enhances your Drawbar settings.

LESLIE ®
Your Hammond XE-1 has a built-in digital Leslie effect that replicates the sound of a twin-rotor
Leslie Speaker cabinet. In addition, the XE-1 can also be used with a variety of different Leslie
Speaker cabinets. There is a full explanation of how to use the XE-1 with a Leslie Speaker
cabinet starting on page 34. The following paragraphs explain how the internal digital Leslie of
your Hammond XE-1 works.
LESLIE Touch Tabs
These two Touch Tabs allow you to control either the internal digital Leslie or the rotors of a
connected Leslie Speaker cabinet.
LESLIE ON
When this Touch Tab is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Drawbars will sound through the normal
stationary channels of the organ. Touching the LESLIE ON Touch Tab "ON" (LED lit) will change
the sounds produced by the Drawbars from the main speaker channel to the internal Leslie
channel. The speed of the internal electronic Leslie depends upon the position of the LESLIE
FAST Touch Tab.
LESLIE FAST
When this Touch Tab is "OFF" (LED not lit), the Leslie effect is that of an acoustic Leslie Speaker
Cabinet with the rotors turning slowly (Chorale). Touching the LESLIE FAST Touch Tab "ON"
(LED lit) will cause the Leslie effect to speed up and rotate fast (Tremolo) to produce a rich, full
sound.
NOTE:
The LESLIE FAST Touch Tab will function only if the LESLIE ON Touch Tab is "ON" (LED lit).
A LESLIE Edit Pages (LESLIE/VIBRATO Menu)
These Advanced Feature Menu Pages allow you to make various changes to the characteristics
of the inbuilt digital Leslie.
Accessing the LESLIE Edit Pages using the MENU/EXIT Touch Button:

LESLIE Edit Page 1
Leslie Speed
This Advanced Feature allows you to select the speed settings for the digital Leslie Slow & Fast
Speeds that you prefer. You can adjust the speeds for the Horn Rotor (high frequencies) and
Bass Rotor (low frequencies) separately.
Use the Number 1 or Number 9 Select Touch Button to select HORN or BASS.
Use the Number 2 Select Touch Button to increase the number setting for the Slow
Speed.
Use the Number 10 Select Touch Buttons to decrease the number setting.
Use the Number 3 Select Touch Button to increase the number setting for the FAST
Speed.
Use the Number 11 Select Touch Buttons to decrease the number setting.
NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
Leslie Time - Rise & Fall Times
Because the animation produced by a Leslie Speaker Cabinet is created mechanically, a certain
time is required for the rotors to come up to the Tremolo (fast) speed from either a dead stop or
from the Chorale (slow) speed as well as to slow down from Tremolo to Chorale. These are
referred to as the Rise & Fall Times. Although each Leslie Speaker is carefully calibrated at the
factory, several factors such as motor age and placement of the belts on the pulleys can affect
time required for the rotors to speed up and slow down. This Advanced Feature allows you to
select the settings for the Rise & Fall Times of the digital Leslie that you prefer. You can adjust
the settings for the Horn Rotor (high frequencies) and Bass Rotor (low frequencies) separately.
HA<O> Model XE-1 Basic Features Guide
Drawbars & Percussion

Use the Number 4 Select Touch Button to increase the Rise Time.
Use the Number 12 Select Touch Buttons to decrease the Rise Time.
Use the Number 5 Select Touch Button to increase the Fall Time.
Use the Number 13 Select Touch Buttons to decrease the Fall Time.
NOTE:
This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
NOTE: The setting of "0" for the Slow and Fast Speeds enables you to prevent a rotor from turning when
the Leslie is switched back and forth from "SLOW" to "FAST". For example, if you want only the Horn
Rotor to respond to SLOW/FAST speed selection, set both the Slow and Fast Speeds for the Bass Rotor
to "0". With this setting, only the Horn Rotor will run either SLOW or FAST and the Bass Rotor will
remain stationary.
Leslie Brake Time
Many Leslie Speakers, in addition to having one or more speeds, also allow the rotors to stop
completely or “brake”. The time required for the rotors to stop turning is referred to as the Brake
Time. Although Leslies are carefully calibrated at the factory, several factors such as motor age
and placement of the belts on the pulleys can affect the speeds of the rotors, as well as time
required for the rotors to slow down to a dead stop. This Advanced Feature allows you to
change the Brake Times for the “rotors” of the inbuilt digital Leslie. You may select Brake Time
settings for the Horn and Bass Rotors separately.
Use the Number 6 Select Touch Button to increase the Brake Time.
Use the Number 14 Select Touch Button to decrease the Brake Time.
NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
Leslie Off Mode
This Advanced Feature affects how the Drawbar tones and the inbuilt digital Leslie simulation
perform when both Leslie Touch Tabs are “OFF” (LEDs not lit). When “THROUGH” Mode is
selected, the sound quality changes to simulate the effect of the Drawbar tones speaking through
the Stationary channel of a multi-channel Leslie Speaker such as models 723, 750 or 914.
When”BRAKE” Mode is selected,, the digital Leslie effect is "stopped" and the sound quality
remains unchanged. This simulates the effect produced by a single-channel Leslie Speaker
which has the capability of stopping the rotors, such as a model 122XB.
Use the Number 7 or Number 8 Select Touch Button to select THROUGH Mode.
Use the Number 15 or Number 16 Select Touch Button to select BRAKE Mode.
NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.

NOTE:
This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
Leslie Microphone Setting
When a Leslie Speaker cabinet or combination of cabinets is used in a large facility such as an
auditorium or outdoor arena, the Leslie(s) are frequently "miked" to insure that the sound carries
adequately. Sound technicians have discovered that the placement of the microphones greatly
affects the character of the sound heard by the audience from the Leslie Speaker(s). This
Advanced Feature allows you to simulate various microphone settings using the built-in digital
Leslie effect. The two settings you can adjust are “ANGLE” and “DISTANCE”.
The ANGLE setting recreates the effect of two microphones - one for the Horn rotor and one for
the Bass rotor. "0" setting is monaural, or both microphones placed in the center. Each higher
number has the effect of moving the microphones further apart from each other.
Use the Number 4 or Number 5 Select Touch Button to increase the number setting.
Use the Number 12 or Number 13 Select Touch Button to decrease the number setting.
The DISTANCE setting recreates the effect of setting the microphones at different distances from
a Leslie Speaker cabinet, since distance has an effect on how the Leslie Speaker reproduces
through a sound system.
Use the Number 6 or Number 7 Select Touch Button to increase the number setting.
Use the Number 14 or Number 15 Select Touch Button to decrease the number setting.

NOTE: This Advanced Feature DOES NOT affect a connected external Leslie Speaker cabinet.
NOTE: Both the ANGLE and DISTANCE settings are subtle effects and may require careful listening to
detect the differences among the various settings.
Using a Leslie Speaker Cabinet
Your Hammond XE-1 is designed to directly interface with a Leslie Speaker Cabinet. A Leslie
Speaker cabinet, in addition to amplifying the basic sound, also uses mechanical rotors which
turn at different speeds to add different animation effects. The data chart below shows the
options available.
LESLIE ROTOR SPEED OPTIONS
Description
SLOW (Chorale)
OFF
FAST (Tremolo)
Function
Rotors will turn slowly, producing an effect suitable for use with hymns,
classical style music and some slower songs.
Rotors do not turn. Animation can be provided by using Vibrato and Chorus.
Rotors will speed up and rotate fast to produce a rich full sound.
NOTE: The above table shows the options which can be selected for either a single- or multi-channel
Leslie Speaker cabinet using an 11-pin interface.
SUSTAIN
The SUSTAIN controls, located to the right of the Information Center Display, are used with the
Drawbars to produce a lingering tone when keys are released. It is suited for producing sounds
like harps, chimes or bells.

VOICE SECTION
Your XE-1 contains high-quality digital voices which are accessible using the VOICE Touch Tabs.
♦ VOICE Touch Tab group
The VOICE Touch Tab group is located to the right side of the Information Center Display.
These voices can be used Solo or in combination with the Drawbars.
To activate one of the voices, simply touch the single Touch Tab of the voice that you wish to
use.
NOTE: The two VOICE Touch Tabs marked CUSTOM 1 and CUSTOM 2 can be reprogrammed to recall
Custom Voices which you create using the CUSTOM VOICE Menu. How to do this is covered starting on
page 46 of this Guide.
The VOICE Touch Tab names represent categories of voices. This means that the voices have
been arranged into groups combining instruments of similar characteristics, such as PIANO,
ACCORDION, etc., to make voice selection easier.
Touching any of the VOICE SELECT Touch Tabs will show the different Voice selections in each
category in the Information Center Display.
NOTE: The number of Voices listed will vary from category to category.
Notice that in the extreme upper left corner of the Information Center, you will see a message
such as, “1/4,” “1/3" or “1/2". This is to let you know that there is more than one page for that
Voice Category. Touch the PAGE UP Select Touch Button to see the next Page. Use the Page
UP and PAGE DOWN Select Touch Buttons to move back and forth between or among Pages.
Use the PAGE UP Select Touch Button to scroll up through the Voice Pages.
Use the PAGE DOWN Select Touch Button to scroll down through the Voice Pages.
NOTE: The message, “1/1,” indicates only one page for that particular Voice category. In the case of
Voice categories having only one Page, touching the PAGE UP or PAGE DOWN Touch Buttons will have
no effect.
Use any of the numbered Touch Buttons to make your Voice selection. The currently
selected voice will be “highlighted,” or shown in reverse-video (green lettering against a
black background).
NOTE: Voice selection is best done utilizing the VOICE SETUP Touch Tabs. This is so that you are
changing the Voice for the correct Part or division. For more information, please consult the VOICE
SETUP Touch Tabs section of this Guide starting on page 37.

♦ Using the VOICE SETUP Touch Tabs
You can use the VOICE SETUP Touch Tabs to assign Voices to the different divisions, and use
the VOICE ON/OFF Touch Tabs to turn “ON” the Voices that you want. In this way, you can
assign a Voice to one division while playing from another.
TRY THIS:
1.
Turn the XE-1 “ON.”
2.
Touch the DISPLAY HOLD Touch Button on the right of the Information Center
Display. The red LED will light “ON.” This is so that the screen will continue to
display the current screen while you are doing this exercise.
3.
If the UPPER 1 Touch Tab in the VOICE SETUP Touch Tab group is not “ON,”
(red LED lit), touch it to turn it on.
4.
If the UPPER 1 Touch Tab in the VOICE ON/OFF Touch Tab group is not
“ON,” (red LED lit), touch it to turn it on.
With this registration, any changes to the sound using the VOICE Touch Tabs will be made
to the UPPER 1 section, since that is the section selected by the VOICE SETUP Touch
Tabs. Since the UPPER 1 Touch Tab in the VOICE ON/OFF section is also selected, you
will be able to hear changes instantly just by playing keys on the keyboard.
NOTE: For this example, make sure the SPLIT ON Touch Tab is “OFF” (LED not lit).

5.
Touch and hold the VIBRA/MALLET Touch Tab in the VOICE Section for
approximately 2 seconds:
This will call up the Vibra&Mallet screen. The Information Center Display should now look
similar to this:
Notice that one Voice Name is “highlighted,” or displayed in reverse-video (green lettering
against a black background). This is the voice that will play from the manual. You will also
see “UPPER 1” displayed in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. This lets you know
that you are currently setting the UPPER 1 Voice.
6.
The voices on the screen are arranged in a pattern corresponding to that of
the numbered Touch Buttons. For example, suppose you want to select Glok
X-66 as the voice that will play when the VIBRA/MALLET Touch Tab is turned
“ON.” To select Glok X-66 as your UPPER 1 Voice, touch the Number 10
Select Touch Button. The box containing the words, “Glok X-66” will change
to a black background and the words, “Glok X-66” will change to green

Notice that the Information Center Display shows, “1/2" in the upper left-hand
corner. This indicates that this particular screen has more than one page. To
see the second page of the VIBRA/MALLET Voice Menu, touch the PAGE
UP Select Touch Button once.
You will now see “2/2" shown in the upper left-hand corner of the Information Center
Display, and a different list of Voice names. Notice, however, that none of them are
selected. This is because the Voice selected to play from the VIBRA/MALLET group is on
the first page.
9.
To select a Voice from this page, touch the numbered Touch Button which
corresponds to the voice you want. Suppose, for example, you want to select
Dulcimer. You would touch the number 1 Touch Button.
By noticing the pattern in which the Voices are arranged relative to the numbered Touch
Buttons, you can select any Voice from the Voice Menus for each group.
If you want to change the volume of the selected Voice,
Use the Number 8 Touch Button to increase the volume.
Use the Number 16 Touch Button to decrease the volume.
As you adjust the volume using these Touch Buttons, you will see the graph bar in the
Information Center Display lengthen or shorten, and the number just above the bar
increase or decrease in value.
10. Now, suppose you want to select a voice for UPPER 2. You can do so while
playing or listening to the UPPER 1 Voice. Touch the UPPER 2 Select Touch
Button in the VOICE SETUP Touch Tab group.

Voice Section
11. Now touch the VIBRA/MALLET Touch Tab in the VOICE Section. The
Information Center Display should now look similar to this:
Notice that the Information Center Display now shows “UPPER 2.” This indicates that you
may now select the Voice for the UPPER 2 division.
12. For this example, select Steel Drum by touching the Number 10 Select Touch
Button:
You have now selected Steel Drum for the UPPER 2 division. However, if you play notes
on the manual, you will still hear the voice you selected for the UPPER 1 division.
13. To hear the voice you just selected for UPPER 2, touch the UPPER 2 Touch
Tab in the VOICE ON/OFF group.
Notice that the UPPER 1 Touch Tab turns “OFF” while the UPPER 2 Touch Tab turns “ON.”
This is done on purpose so you can make tone changes quickly.
14. Now play some notes on the manual, and you will hear the UPPER 2 Voice.
NOTE: If you want to play two or more Voice groups together, you can do so by touching the
ON/OFF Touch Tabs together of the groups you want to hear. However, you CANNOT use the
UPPER 2 and LOWER 2 divisions together. If you touch either of these two, if the other is “ON” it
will cancel.

Keyboard Split
59
KEYBOARD SPLIT
Although the XE-1 has a single keyboard, the keyboard can be Split so that one sound can be
played on one part of the keyboard and a different sound can be played on another part of the
keyboard.
♦ Upper and Lower Manuals on the XE-1
When the keyboard is split, the effect is that of a conventional two-keyboard organ on which the
Upper Manual would be played by the right hand and the Lower Manual would be played by the
left hand. Therefore, when Split is “ON,” the area to the right of the Split Point is referred to on
the XE-1 as the Upper Manual and is abbreviated, “UM.” The area to the left of the Split Point is
designated as the Lower Manual and bears the abbreviation, “LM.” You will notice both of these
abbreviations in the Information Center Display. This is important to keep in mind because if you
are making any changes to parameters affecting the Lower Manual, such as Drawbar
Registration, you will not hear any change unless Split is “ON.”
♦ SPLIT ON Touch Tab
Touch this Touch Tab “ON” (LED lit) to activate the Split Point. Touch it “OFF”
(LED not lit) to play the XE-1 as a single-keyboard instrument.
A SPLIT Edit Menu
This Advanced Feature allows you to select the Split Point.
NOTE: The SPLIT ON Touch Tab must be “ON” (red LED lit) in order to hear the effect of this feature.
Accessing the SPLIT Edit Menu using the MENU/EXIT Touch Button:

However, if you are using a second keyboard, such as the Hammond XLK-1, the SPLIT Touch
Button will function as shown below:
Notice that the XLK-1, or whatever you are using as a Lower Manual, now receives the split when
the SPLIT Touch Tab is “ON.” In this way, you can have “three-manual” operation - a melody
registration on the XE-1 manual, a separate melody setting for the top portion of the Lower
Manual (provided by the Lower Drawbars and the LOWER 1 and LOWER 2 Touch Tabs) and the
AUTOBAND providing accompanimental support from the lower portion of the Lower Manual.

Rhythm & Easy Play
RHYTHM & EASY PLAY
♦ AUTO VARI RHYTHMS & STYLES
Hammond’s AUTO VARI is an exciting feature which complements a wide variety of musical styles
and adds realism and fun to your playing. All of the sounds and rhythms are created from digital

Before going on to Page 2 of the SES/EQ Menu, it is helpful to know something about
“Equalization.”
What Is “Equalization?
“Equalization” is a term used by sound engineers to describe changes or alterations they make to
the character of sound. For example, if a piano is being “miked,” (its sound output being picked
up by a microphone) and the tone needs to sound brighter or to have more bass, a sound
engineer can increase or decrease the level of individual “frequency bands,” as they are called,
to achieve just the desired effect. The “BASS” and “TREBLE” tone controls on a home stereo
amplifier can be said to be a very elementary type of equalization. However, a true equalizer
allows you control over more area of the frequency range than just “highs” and “lows.” The
Equalizer portion of the SES/EQ feature of your Hammond XE-1 has this capability. The
Equalizer section is controlled from Pages 2 and 3 of the SES/EQ Menu, which is explained
starting below.
SES/EQ Edit Menu - Pages 2 and 3

These Advanced Feature Menu Pages allow you to control the Equalization. Page 2 controls the
Rhythms and Voices, while Page 3 controls the Drawbars. Use the PAGE UP and PAGE DOWN
Buttons to move between these Pages.

particular frequency band).
Use the Number 1 or Number 2 Select Touch Button to select FREQ.
Use the Number 9 or Number 10 Select Touch Button to select GAIN.
When “FREQ” is selected, the four adjustments in the center of the screen will control the center
frequency of the “LOW” “LO-MID” “MID-HI” and “HIGH” frequency bands.
Use the Number 3, 4, 5, or 6 Select Touch Button to increase each Frequency.
Use the Number 11, 12, 13, or 14 Select Touch Buttons to decrease each Frequency.
When “GAIN” is selected, the four adjustments in the center of the screen will control the level of
the “LOW” “LO-MID” “MID-HI” and “HIGH” frequency bands.
Use the Number 3, 4, 5, or 6 Select Touch Button to increase the levels.
Use the Number 11, 12, 13, or 14 Select Touch Buttons to decrease the levels.
EQ Group
This Advanced Feature allows you to use Page 2 of the SES/EQ Edit Menu to control the EQ
settings for both Rhythms/Voices and Drawbars. When this feature is “OFF,” which is its normal

Introduction
137
MIDI
♦ A Word About What MIDI Can Do
The letters MIDI stand for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is an international standard
for allowing electronic musical instruments equipped with MIDI capability to exchange
performance information. For example, a synthesizer can be used to communicate with a drum
machine, an electronic piano can interface with a computer, and so forth. Additionally, since MIDI
is an international standard recognized and implemented by all musical instrument manufacturers
worldwide, instruments made by different manufacturers can communicate with each other via
MIDI.
♦ MIDI Connections
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT
In order to allow communication to take place, all MIDI-equipped instruments have at least two
MIDI jacks - MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. MIDI IN is for receiving MIDI data from another instrument,
while MIDI
OUT is for
sending
MIDI data out to
another
instrument.
In the example above, the keyboard(s) of the sending or transmitting instrument (MIDI OUT) are
being used to control the sound generators of the receiving instrument (MIDI IN). When a key is
played on the sending instrument, the corresponding note will play on the receiving instrument as
though the appropriate key had been pressed on the receiving instruments's keyboard. When
the key is released on the sending instrument, the tone being played by the receiving instrument
will stop. (This is called "Note On / Note Off" data.) The sending instrument is referred to as the
master, while the receiving instrument is called the slave. This is the most basic MIDI hookup.
The above is an example of two-way communication between two MIDI-equipped devices. In this
example, the keyboard(s) of either instrument can be used to control the sound generators of the
other.
NOTE: When connecting MIDI IN and MIDI OUT in the manner shown above, use the MIDI IN 2 port of the
XE-1 to avoid “MIDI Looping,” or notes being played twice.
HA<O> Model XE-1 Owner’s Playing Guide
138
MIDI
MIDI THRU
Many MIDI instruments also have an additional MIDI connection called MIDI THRU. MIDI THRU
allows more than one instrument to be controlled by the same transmitting instrument - in other
words, the data being sent from MIDI OUT goes to the MIDI IN, where it can be passed on to
another instrument via MIDI THRU. The picture shown below shows how this is done.
In the above example, the MIDI data goes from the master instrument (MIDI OUT) to the slave
instrument (MIDI IN), which receives the data and passes it along to a third instrument via the
MIDI THRU connection.
NOTE: If you reverse the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT connections, you can play the other instrument from the
synthesizer just as easily.
♦ Audio and MIDI Connections
Example 1: A synthesizer sounding through the XE-1
If you connect the audio output from the synthesizer to the INPUT jack(s) of the XE-1, you will be
able to hear the synthesizer through the XE-1 speaker system.
Example 2: A sound module
Note that the LINE OUT or AUDIO OUT signal connection is made to an external amplifier. The
LINE OUT audio connection from the module, of course, could also be connected to the LINE IN
of the XE-1.

Connecting a Computer through a Sound Card
If your computer is equipped with a Sound Card, you can use the MIDI IN 2 port of your XE-1 to
connect to your computer. Most sound cards currently available do not have MIDI ports;
however, the “joystick” port may be used for MIDI connections by means of a special MIDI
interface cable which is readily available at most music shops specializing in MIDI equipment.
1.
Make sure the power to the XE-1 is “OFF,” and set the selector switch on the
back of the XE-1 to “MIDI-2.”
2.

USING THE SEQUENCER, DISK DRIVE & CompactFlash
♦ SEQUENCER
Your Hammond XE-1 has a full-function Sequencer which you can use to record your
performances in three different ways:
1.
EASY RECORD - This sets up the instrument to allow you to record your song
data the fastest and easiest way.
2.
MULTI RECORD - This allows you more control over individual soundproducing divisions or Parts, as well as Controls, than EASY REC.
3.
16 TRACK - This allows you to record your songs using Parts 1 through 16
independent of Drawbar or Voice registrations, as well as play back prerecorded SMF disks.
In addition, you can use the Sequencer to play back Song data from Floppy Disks or
CompactFlash Cards.
What Is “General MIDI?”
“General MIDI” is a method for standardizing the MIDI capabilities of sound-generating devices,
making it easier to connect two or more brands of MIDI devices and use them. As an example,
before General MIDI, different manufacturers assigned different Program Numbers to different
sounds. If, for example, Program #4 is Strings on a “brand X” MIDI device and Program #4 is
Trumpet on a “brand Y” device, and you sent MIDI Program #4 from a keyboard you were playing
to each device, you would hear Strings from one and Trumpet from the other. However, you
wanted both units to play Strings. By using General MIDI-compatible devices, you can send a
MIDI Program Number and have it respond in a predictable manner - Program Number 1 will
always be Grand Piano, Program Number 27 will always be Jazz Guitar, etc.
A MIDI instrument which conforms to the General MIDI standard, such as the XE-1, will bear the
General MIDI logo (
). Music data which bears the General MIDI logo can be played
back using any General MIDI sound generating instrument to produce the same basic
performance.
What Is “SMF?”
“SMF” (Standard MIDI File) is a standardized format designed to allow different sequencers to
play back the same music data. Song data recorded in this format on another sequencer can be
played back by the XE-1. The XE-1 saves music data recorded using EASY REC, MULTI REC
and 16 TRACKS in SMF format.
NOTE: SMF format ensures compatibility primarily of Note data (such as notes played on a keyboard),
Velocity data (the speed or force with which the key is pressed), and Program Number data (what voices
are used). Because there are some variations in the specific way certain MIDI features are implemented
by different manufacturers, total compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, you may need to change
some of the settings of your XE -1 when playing back some music data.
The following pages will explain each Sequencer function in detail.

XE-1 operating sytem. Simply insert a Style Disk into the Disk Slot of your XE-1, and follow the
instructions starting on page 148 for loading Style Data. The conversion time will vary depending

“Directories”
Because a Disk or Card can contain a large number of Songs, it may be desirable to put different
songs into different groups - for example, group all of the Rock songs together, all of the Jazz
songs together, all Love Ballads together, etc. You can create Directories on a Disk or Card
specifically for this purpose. A Directory is simply a location on a Disk or Card where you can
store groups of files - similar to a drawer of a file cabinet.
If a Disk or Card has Directories, when you view the contents using the Information Center
Display you will see something similar to this:
A File Name will be shown normally, while a Directory name will be shown in brackets “<>.” If the
highlighter (long black bar indicating which File or Directory is selected), is over a File, three
boxes - “LOAD” “SAVE” and “DEL” will appear on the right side of the screen, allowing you to
Load, Save or Delete files. If you move the highlighter over a Directory name, a box “ENTR” will
appear, allowing you to Enter, or see the contents of that Directory.
Touch the Number 6 or Number 14 Select Touch Button to select ENTR and see the
contents of the selected Directory.
To see the contents of other Directories while the contents of a Directory are displaying, use the
top row of numbered Touch Buttons to move the highlighter up to the top line in the display,
which should read, “UP ONE LEVEL.”
Touch the Number 6 or Number 14 Select Touch Button to select UP, which will move you out of
the Directory that is currently displaying. Now you may move the highlighter over another
Directory name and follow the above instructions to see its contents.

15 Select Touch Button. If, however, you want to create a new directory,
select “NEW DIR” by touching the Number 8 or Number 16 Select Touch
Button. The Information Center Display will now look similar to this:

Use the numbered Touch Buttons to name the Directory. The current name
will display in a box in the left part of the screen called “OLD NAME,” while the
new name will display in a box in the right part of the screen called “NEW
NAME.” The way the letters are displayed in the screen determines which
numbered Touch Button you would use to make your choice. For example,
use the Number 1 Touch Button to enter the characters, “1ABC,” use the
Number 2 Touch Button to enter the characters, “2DEF,” etc.
Use the Number 11 Select Touch Button to enter a space.
Use the Number 12 Select Touch Button to select upper- or lower-case letters.
The letter boxes in the Information Center Display will show which type has been
selected - “1ABC,” or “1abc,” for example.

Types of Files
Because a Disk or Card can contain several different types of files, the choices available from the
Information Center Display will vary according to the type of file selected.
For example, if a “Combined Rhythm File” is selected, the Information Center Display will look
similar to this:
A “Combined Rhythm File” is a file which contains a quantity of Disk Styles, and is indicated by a
“C.” The Information Center Display allows you to “LOAD” the file, “SAVE” the file or “VIEW
DETL,” or see the details of what Rhythms the file contains.
If a “Song File” is selected, the Information Center Display will look similar to this:
A Song File will be represented by a Quarter note symbol followed by a “P” if it also contains
Preset data. The Information Center Display allows you to “LOAD” the file, “SAVE” the file or
“DEL,” or delete the file.
If a “Disk Style File” is selected, the Information Center Display will look similar to this:
A Disk Style File will be represented by a “D.” The Information Center Display allows you to

A DISK UTIL - WHOLE CARD
Because the XE-1 is a very flexible instrument with a great many ways to change its musical
performance, it may be desirable to store the entire contents of memory - Presets, User Rhythms,
Custom Styles, Custom Voices, etc. - to a CompactFlash Card to be retrieved later so that it is
not necessary to re-program the entire instrument each time it is used. The XE-1 gives you this
capability. You can create what is called a WHOLE CARD, which simply means the “whole”
memory content of the instrument, and save it to a single CompactFlash Card for later use. You
can even create a whole library of WHOLE CARDS for all of your different musical arrangements.

INSTRUMENT CARE
♦ AC Power
Be sure to turn the instrument “OFF” after use, and do not turn the unit “ON” and “OFF” in quick
succession, as this places an undue load on the electronic components.
♦ Cabinet And Bench
As with any piece of furniture, direct sunlight can damage the finish of your instrument. Use a soft dry
cloth for dusting. To remove fingerprints or dulling film, use a soft cloth slightly moisten with water and
a little mild soap. Immediately wipe dry with a soft dry cloth.
♦ Keys And Buttons
To clean keys and buttons, use a clean soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use any solvents,
thinners or dryers such as alcohol, gasoline, lighter fluid, carbon tetrachloride, etc. These solutions
may affect the letters and/or finish on the buttons and keys.
♦ Moving Your Instrument
It is not necessary to bolt or fasten any parts of the instrument when moving. Careful consultation with
your mover will assure you of a satisfactory moving job.

♦ IMPORTANT NOTE - BATTERY
Your Hammond XE-1 uses a battery-backed RAM to remember your changes to the Presets,User
Rhythms, Custom Styles, etc. When the battery voltage becomes low, the Information Center
Display will show:
If you see this message, you should immediately back up your parameter changes, if you have
made any. If there is no battery installed in the unit, or if the battery is completely dead, the
Information Center Display will show:
After the above message is displayed, the XE-1 will re-initialize itself, and the factory default
settings will be restored. Therefore, it is a good idea to periodically back up your data.
