Introduction
Overview
The patch bay also contains a set of arithmetic modifiers, letting you create
complex synthesis models.
Four front panel real-time controllers give you control over 12 user-
selectable parameters. The real-time knobs can adjust multiple parameters
at once, allowing complex levels of control. For example, one knob can
simultaneously turn up filter cutoff, while detuning one sample, and
adjusting the release time of the volume envelope. Virtually every synth
parameter in the B-3 is controllable using the real-time knobs or by any
internal or external control source.
Two 18-bit analog outputs and four internal effect sends let you process
separate sounds inside B-3 and output a complex mix controlled by MIDI or
internal sources.
Once you have created your preset, you can add richness to your sound
using B-3’s 24-bit stereo effects. You can choose a different effects setup for
each preset from over 60 algorithms. B-3’s effects section is actually two
separate effects processors with control over each wet/dry mix level on four
effects sends. Effects Processor “A” contains primarily ambiance algorithms
like reverb and delays, while effects processor “B” contains primarily
spectral algorithms such as chorus, flange, phase, distortion, and delay.
Effects can be linked to each preset or used globally to further enhance your
sound.
Other features include multiple solo, voice assignment and performance
modes for expressive control, 12 user-definable alternate tunings, an
extremely easy to use interface and, of course, an extensive MIDI
implementation.
Overview
This is the Getting Started manual for setting up and playing B-3, which
contains only the first four chapters of the complete manual. This short
manual is intended to give you the basics of playing and controlling B-3.
To get the most out of this extremely powerful instrument please refer to
the complete B-3 manual, which is provided for you in PDF format (PC and
Mac formats) on the supplied CD-ROM.
The manual provides step-by-step instructions for all of B-3’s features. Each
parameter is described in detail, with examples where deemed appropriate.
Although a short synthesizer/synthesis tutorial is provided, you may
require more information than this manual provides. Many excellent books
and periodicals have been published on the subject of music synthesis.
There are is also a large amount of information available via the www.
The appendix provides technical information, product specifications and
the Index.
