The X3 features a well-balanced reverb which emulates a vintage spring reverb.  
There are four reverb levels available: OFF, REV 1, REV 2 and REV 3. 
To activate the reverb press one of the buttons [REV1] or [REV2]. To obtain reverb level REV3 both buttons  
[REV1+ REV2] must be pressed simultaneously.  The individual levels of REV1, REV2, and REV3 can be adjusted 
to taste in the Menu/Display panel (see page 20).  

 
 

Split-Mode 

 

Keyboard split is available for the lower or upper manual with a selectable split point. 

Two keyboard zones are 

easily set up by assigning any desired key split zones.

 

 

Lower to Upper:

  Press the key of the desired split point on the upper manual, hold while pressing the 

[Split] button.  Now the left part of the keyboard plays the Lower Manual. Use the right-hand drawbars 
to adjust the Lower Manual sound.  

 

Pedal to Upper:

  Press two adjacent keys at the desired split point on the upper manual, hold both keys 

while pressing the [Split] button.  Now the left part of the keyboard plays the Pedal Bass. Use the Pedal 
Bass drawbars to adjust the Pedal Bass sound.  

 

Pedal to Lower (X3-2 only!): 

Press two adjacent keys at the desired split point on the lower manual, 

hold both keys while pressing the [Split] button.  Now the left part of the lower keyboard plays the Pedal 
Bass. Use the Pedal Bass drawbars to adjust the Pedal Bass sound.  

The split point will be saved automatically until the X3 is switched off.
