B-3 Preset
Nomenclature
B-3 preset names show the drawbar settings used on the original B-3.Each
drawbar controls the volume of its associated harmonic or overtone. The 8’
drawbar is the fundamental pitch of the sound.
The numbers in most of the preset names represent the drawbar positions
and thus the mixture of harmonics and overtones in the sound. The
numbers may seem confusing at first, but once you learn to see them as
drawbar positions it makes perfect sense. Here are a few examples:
