The Program FX (PROGFX) Page
This page is the same as the VAST Program editor PROGFX page (see page 6-46) except for one
important difference: there is no Pre/Post insert parameter for the auxiliary sends.
The LFO, ASR, and FUN Pages
The rest of the pages—LFO, ASR, and FUN— are the same for KB3 programs as they are for
VAST programs, so we won’t describe them again here. Begin on page 6-36 to find descriptions
of these pages.
Programming Tips
This section provides some starting points for creating your own KB3 programs. Remember that
you’ll have to start with one of the existing KB3 programs.
As described below, the most prominent difference between organ vintages is the number of
tone wheels used. Keep in mind, however, that the sound of an actual tone wheel organ will
depend not only on its age, but also on how well it has been maintained.
Octave folding, where an octave (or part of an octave) is repeated at the top or bottom of the
keyboard, is handled automatically by KB3 Mode, emulating the folding done on actual tone
wheel organs.
Early Tone Wheel Organs. Instruments of this period had 91 tone wheels. To get this sound, go
to the TONEWL page, select 91 tone wheels, and set lowest pitch to C 1. Start with the Junky
Wheel Volume Map and Bob’s Organ Map. You may also want to increase the Key Click level,
since this tends to become louder on older organs.
Middle Period Organs. To model one of these instruments, set 82 tone wheels and a low note of
A 1. Use the Mellow Wheel Volume Map and Eric’s Organ Map. Set Key Click to a moderate
level.
The Classic B-3. For this sound, choose 79 tone wheels and set the low note to be C 2. The best
settings here are the Bright Wheel Volume Map and Peck’s Organ Map. You may also want to
reduce the Key Click level.
