SK PRO/SK PRO-73
HAMMOND SK PRO / SK PRO-73 Updater Release1.6
Updated Areas：
- Added Q parameter to MID of Master EQ.(It makes it possible to get a steeper Filter effect.)
- Changed the MID frequency range of Master EQ.(It makes it possible to select a more effective frequency.)
- Making it possible to select the modulation mode "Leslie" in the organ section.
- "First" can be selected in the MONO PRIORITY in the monopoly function of the piano / ensemble section.
- Impedance Amount has been added to the Tone Wheel Organ parameter, and 3 types (Off, Half, Full) can be selected.
- Fixed a bug where Master EQ was not effective for Rotary Out.
- Fixed a bug that an error message may appear when connecting / disconnecting the USB TO HOST terminal and the PC.
- Changed to send NRPN Data by USB MIDI at a fixed timing. (Depending on the DAW tool, the order may be reversed depending on the transmission timing of NRPN, and it has been changed as a measurement.)
- Fixed a bug that when MIDI IN MODE is set to something other than "Sequence" and the keyboard is expanded by MIDI,
the sound is muted if the same note was played on the main unit and the MIDI keyboard. - Improved the problem that the sound disappears when the same oscillator keyboard is played due to the octave in the organ section (A-100, B-3, C-3, Mellow).
Note) Since the specifications have been updated, please download the latest owner's manual from our website.
