Setting the Parameters
63
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 BEND BEND BEND BEND: You can slide the pitch by rotating the PITCH BEND wheel.
MOTOR
MOTOR MOTOR MOTOR 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 gradually
fades out.
 MODULATION
9. MODULATION - LESLIE (P)
Assigns the Modulation Wheel to Leslie Speed Function.
OFF OFF
OFF OFF OFF: Does not function.
SPEED SPEED
SPEED SPEED SPEED: If you push back and pull foward the Modulation Wheel, the speed of Leslie
effect changes fast to slow continuously.
F FF
FFAST
AST
AST AST AST: If you push back the Modulation Wheel, it is FAST mode, and if you pull it
forward, SLOW.
NOTE: The parameters by the names with (P) on the end 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 Combination 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.
