Wheel Volume Map (WheelVolMap)
The wheel volume map determines the volume level for each tone wheel. We’ve provided
several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements we’ve taken of different organs.
OrganMap
Controls the relative amplitude of each key, per drawbar. Like the wheel volume maps, these
maps are based on measurements we’ve made on actual organs.
Chorus/Vibrato Switch (Chor/Vib Switch)
This parameter is either
On
or
Off
, which enables or disables the chorus or vibrato effect for the
KB3 program. If the value is
On
, the chorus or vibrato is determined by the value of the
Chor/Vib parameter (described below). In KB3 mode, you can use the
Chorus/Vib On/Off
knob
to enable or disable the effect. You can also send a MIDI Controller 95 message from your MIDI
source (values of 64 and above switch the effect on, and values below 64 switch it off).
Chorus/Vibrato (Chor/Vib)
Determines the preset chorus or vibrato effect that gets applied to the program. The six possible
values are
Chor1
–
Chor3
, and
Vib1
–
Vib3
. For choruses, the amount of detuning increases from
Chor1
to
Chor3
. For vibratos, the vibrato depth increases from
Vib1
to
Vib3
. In KB3 mode, you
can use the
Chorus/Vib Depth
knob to change the effect.You can also send a MIDI Controller 93
message from your MIDI source.
Rotary Speed
Sets the rotary effect for the program at either
Slow
or
Fast
. In KB3 mode, you can use the
Rotary Fast/Slow
button to change speed (or send MIDI 68 from your MIDI source).
Equal
All tone wheels at the same volume. Not based on a real B-3.
Bright
Normal map, based on a B-3 in good condition.
Mellow
Somewhere between
Bright
and
Junky
.
Junky
Based on a B-3 with an uneven, rolled-off response.
Equal
Uses the same volume for each key and drawbar, and is not based on a real B-3.
Peck’s
Normal map, from a B-3 in good condition.
Bob’s
More uneven, based on an old B-3.
Eric’s
