Common Hammond SK Pro Questions

How do I save a custom Leslie simulator setting (Rotary) on the SK Pro so it loads every time I select a specific organ patch?
Rotary settings are saved as part of a 'Program'. Adjust the rotary parameters, then save the entire Program to a User preset location using the 'Write' button. This will save both the organ sound and the Rotary settings.
I'm trying to use the SK Pro as a MIDI controller for my DAW, but it's not sending MIDI on the channel I've set. What am I doing wrong?
Ensure that the 'Local On' setting is turned off in the SK Pro's MIDI System settings, and that you have selected the desired MIDI channel in the appropriate Tone Wheel, Pipe Organ, Ensemble, or Mono Synth section setup; each can have a different transmit channel.
My SK Pro suddenly stopped producing any sound. What are the first things I should check?
First, ensure the volume knob is not muted. Then, check that the 'Local On' setting is enabled in the System settings to ensure the internal sound engine is active; also check for a plugged-in headphone jack.
What are the different 'Tones' and how do I quickly switch between a tone wheel organ sound, a pipe organ sound, and a piano sound on the SK Pro?
The SK Pro has four 'Tones': Tone Wheel Organ, Pipe Organ, Ensemble, and Mono Synth. Use the 'Organ', 'Pipe', 'Ensemble', and 'Mono' buttons on the front panel to instantly switch between these main sound engines.
Can I load or create custom samples on the SK Pro?
No, the SK Pro does not support loading or creating custom samples. Its sound engines are based on modeling and simulations of existing instruments.
