XB2 Kit 

 

ContEarlyActn:

 Fatar keyboards only: Sound triggering on upper key contact. If OFF, the 

organ sound is triggered with the lower key contact. MIDI NOTE ON on the other hand is 
always sent with velocity and thus after closing the lower contact. 

 

NoDB1@Perc:

 

With the original, the 1' foot position is switched off during percussion when 

PERC is ON. This behavior can be switched off here. 

 

High Foldback: 

Foldback mode for upper octaves (ON = B3, OFF = M3/M100). 

 

DB16 1st Oct:

 

Controls foldback behaviour on 16'  lowest octave. Foldback is configurable in 4 

settings:  

o

  Foldback 

– foldback with full level,  

o

  Full 

– no foldback ("all way down") with full level (like H 100®) or  

o

  Foldback muted 

– foldback with muted level (original B3® behaviour),  

o

  Full muted 

– no foldback ("all way down") with muted level.  

Keyboard/MIDI 

MIDI Transpos:

 Allows transposition of sound generation by up to +24/-24 half note steps. Like 

the original, tonewheel generator includes 5 octaves. Notes outside this range do not sound. 

 

KeyTranspos:

 

Transposes the note number generated by a directly connected keybed. 

 

Local On/Off: 

I

nterrupts the connection from a directly connected keyboard to the tone 

generator. Notes are only sent via MIDI. 

 

Split Keyb: 

When ON, the keyboard is split into two zones at the set split point. 

 

Split Point:

 

Sets split point (when split is ON) as key number (24 is second 

„C“ on manual).  

 

Split Mode:

 

Default split setting on power-up, engaged when split set to ON. 

o

 

'PedalToLower', map pedal to lower manual up to split point. 

o

 

'LowerToUpper', map lower to upper manual up to split point. 

o

 

'PedalToUpper', map pedal to upper manual up to split point. 

o

 

'Lo1', map lower to upper manual up to split point, transpose lower +1 octave. 

o

 

'Lo2' map lower to upper manual up to split point, transpose lower +2 octave. 

o

 

‘LwrAddPedal’, links the pedal to the lower manual up to the split point.  

Alternatively split point and split mode may be changed as described in section Button functions.

 

 

MIDI CHANNEL:

 

Sets the MIDI basic receive channel from 1 to 10 (upper manual, lower 

1 , pedal + 2).
