PreampResp
Set this parameter On or O to enable or disable the preamp+expression pedal part of the
KB3 model. Turning this On (the default) makes KB3 programs function like stock organs.
e expression pedal in this case is more than a volume pedal; it actually functions like a
“loudness control,” varying the frequency response to compensate for the ear’s sensitivity at
dierent volumes. In addition, the preamp provides a de-emphasis curve to compensate for
the built-in tone wheel volume pre-emphasis. Turning preamp response O emulates organs
that have been modied to have a direct out (before the preamp and expression pedal).
Leakage
Controls the level of the simulated crosstalk and signal “bleed” of adjacent tone wheels in the
model. is is provided to help “dirty up” the sound to make it a bit more realistic. A setting
of -96 dB gives the purest tones; other values add more simulated leakage. is level is scaled
by the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level.
LeakMode
Selects between dierent leakage models, determining which leakage harmonics are
emphasized. TypeA provides an overall tone wheel leakage, with all tone wheels leaking a
small amount. TypeX, TypeY, TypeZ, and TypeR emulate dierent degrees of drawbar
leakage, where the leakage components correspond to the nine drawbars, instead of all the
tone wheels.
SpeedCtl
Select either Fast or Slow to choose the speed of the rotary speaker emulation. You can toggle
between fast and slow speed using the Rotary S/F button (Variation).
VibChorCtl
Choose On or O to turn on or o either vibrato or chorus (as selected with the VibChorSel
parameter). You can toggle between on and o using Assignable button 2 (labeled [Chorus/
Vibrato] On/O).
VibChorSel
Choose the vibrato or chorus depth (there are three of each) you wish to use with this KB3
program. Note that you must set VibChorCtl (also on the Common page) to On to hear
the eect. You can select the vibrato or chorus you want using Assignable buttons 3 and 4
(labeled [Chorus/Vibrato] Chor/Vib and Depth).
