SOUNDS FEATURING “PROCHORD” FUNCTION:
Extra Voice instruments that contain "Pcd" in their description feature Hammond's exclusive ProChord function. When notes or chords are played on a Lower Manual and a note is played on an Upper Manual, the note represented by the key played on the Upper Manual is heard along with a scored harmony pattern which sounds according to the Chord Root and Chord Type selected by the notes played on the Lower Manual.

Sk1, Sk1-73, Sk1-88:
The SPLIT feature must be enabled (SPLIT Touch Tab “ON”) and a note or chord played to the left of the Split point in order for the harmony to sound when notes are played to the right of the Split point.

Sk2:
A note or chord must be played on the Lower Manual in order for the ProChord harmony to sound when notes are played on the Upper Manual.

On both the Sk1 and Sk2, the harmony will sound ONLY if Lower Manual notes are pressed and held while the melody is played. If no Lower Manual notes are held, only the Melody note will sound. Also, when a ProChord Extra Voice is selected, play a single-note melody with the right hand while holding Lower Manual notes or chords so that the harmony will play correctly. If you wish to play chords using a ProChord Extra Voice, it is best if no Lower Manual notes are pressed and held at the same time.

UTILIZING THE "PROCHORD" (Pcd) FEATURE The "Chro Duet Pcd" voice utilizes
Hammond-Suzuki’s exclusive "ProChord" feature which adds harmonies to single notes played on the upper manual based on chords played on the lower manual.
For the Sk1 and Sk2, allocate the "Pcd" voice to the Upper Manual and using the SPLIT function of the Sk1, or the Lower Manual of the Sk2, assign the Organ (TW, Vx, Farf or Pipe) registration of your choice to the Lower Manual.
For the SKX, it is recommended you assign the "Pcd" to EXV1, assign EXV1 to the Upper Manual and turn the ORGAN section "OFF" for the Upper Manual. Then, assign either an Organ (TW, Vx, Farf or Pipe) or an EXV2 registration of your choice to the Lower Manual.
NOTE: The ProChord feature functions independently of the Lower Manual registration – the harmony will still be heard even with no Organ or Extra Voice registration for the LOWER manual.

- Single: The sounds of the Suzuki S-22C Harmonica. A lighter, brighter voice.
- BChro Normal: Suzuki Bass Chromatic Harmonica S-48B without Vibrato. This instrument is used in the middle-bass range in a harmonica ensemble, but also suitable for melodies.
- Bass Stacc: Suzuki Bass Harmonica SDB-39 played staccato. This instrument is used for bass lines, but also works well when used along with an Electric Bass voice in unison (for example, "I Know There’s An Answer" by the Beach Boys).
- Synth: Synthesized harmonica tone.
