B-3 Operation Manual

Programming Basics
This chapter explains how B-3 sounds are constructed and contains
important background information on how to create your own custom
presets.
Your initial involvement with B-3 will most likely be using the existing
presets and selecting MIDI channels. While the factory presets are very
good, there are some things you will probably want to change eventually,
perhaps the LFO speed, the filter frequency or the attack time. You may also
want to make your own custom presets using complex modulation
routings. This module will do far more than make organ sounds, especially
if you add another sound ROM. It is actually a powerful synthesizer in B-3’s
clothing. There are 512 user locations (USER Banks 0-3) available to store
your own creations or edited factory presets. Best of all, it’s easy to edit or
create new presets using the Edit menu.
Each preset can consist of up to four instrument layers. Each of the four
layers can be placed anywhere on the keyboard and can be crossfaded or
switched according to key position, velocity, or by using a real-time control
such as a wheel, slider, pedal, LFO or envelope generator. A preset can also
be “linked” with up to 2 more presets creating additional layering or splits.
B-3 has an extensive modulation implementation using two multi-wave
LFO’s (Low Frequency Oscillators), three multi-stage envelope generators
and the ability to respond to multiple MIDI controllers. You can simulta-
neously route any combination of these control sources to multiple desti-
nations.
