CUSTOM TONE WHEEL Edit Menu - Voicing Presets
There are four choices available for “Btype1" and “Btype2:"
“Real B-3" - Replicates a B-3 in good condition. Contains moderate motor hum and leakage noise.
“80's Clean” - Based upon a very “clean”-sounding B-3. The motor hum or leakage noise has been removed,
the “vibration” caused by the wow-flutter of the motor remains.
“Noisy” - Similar to “Real B-3, but with more motor hum and leakage noise.
“Noisy 60" - Similar to “Noisy,” but with more leakage noise.
There are also four choices of sound for the “Mellow” setting:
“Full Flats” - Pure sine waves, with all frequencies sounding at the same volume.
“Husky” - Pure sine waves, but with a slight bass and mid-frequency boost.
“Flute Lead” -Pure sine waves, but with reduced bass and treble, the opposite of “Husky”.
“Cheap Tr.s” -Reduced bass response, producing a sound similar to low-grade AM radio.
