Expert village once again fails to provide anything useful.

The reverse coloured keys on the big Hammonds are Tone presets. You select a tone by pressing a key down. The key then stay's down and you have selected a combination of tone bar settings, "a tone preset".

When you select another tone preset, the previous tone select key springs back up. The far left key (C), also known as the cancel key, de-activates all presets, and results in no sound coming from that manual.
