Setting the Parameters
59
MOTOR
There is no pitch-bend function on the B-3/C-3.
So some musicians turned off the power while
playing in order to get that effect.
If the B-3/C-3 is turned off, the Tone-wheel
motor gradually slows down and stops, and the
amplifier does as well. This function is to
simulate that on this model.
6. BEND - MODE (P)
It switches the function of the PITCH BEND wheel.
BEND:
You can slide the pitch by rotating the PITCH BEND wheel.
MOTOR:
You can control the TONE-WHEEL motor. The motor turns on when it is in the
center or in the neutral position, stops when you rotate it forward (toward
yourself), and accelerates when you push it back.
7. BEND - TIME (P)
This sets the time for slowing down to stop or accelerating the motor when it [=
MODE(6)] is in the MOTOR mode.
The value ranges from 0.1[s] to 5.0[s].
8. BEND - AMPLIFIER (P)
This decides whether to turn off the amplifier or not by rotating the PITCH BEND
wheel forward (toward yourself).
When the value of this parameter is “OF”, the pitch goes down and the sound gradu-
ally fades out.
9. MODULATION - LESLIE (P)
Assigns the Modulation Wheel to Leslie Fast Function.
ON: If you push back the Modulation Wheel, it is FAST, and if you pull it forward,
SLOW speed.
OF: Does not function.
NOTE: The parameters by the names with (P) on the tail are Preset Parameters, and are
recorded to each Combination Preset. (G) is for “Global”. These parameters will
be recorded when set, and are common in each Combinsation Preset.

HOW PITCH BEND MODE WORKS
BEND: The pitch immediately rises.
MOTOR: The pitch gradually rises up to the set
point.
BEND: The pitch immediately comes to
normal.
MOTOR: The pitch gradually comes to normal.
BEND: The pitch immediately falls.
MOTOR: The pitch gradually falls down to the
set point.
