PreampResp
Set this parameter On or Off 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.
The 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
different volumes. In addition, the preamp provides a de-emphasis curve to compensate for
the built-in tone wheel volume pre-emphasis. Turning preamp response Off emulates organs
that have been modified 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. This 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. This level
is scaled by the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level. The leakage level can
also be controlled by MIDI CC 90; value 0 = -96 dB, value 127 = 0 dB, values between 0
and 127 scale between -96 dB and 0 dB. When using CC 90, the value displayed for the
Leakage parameter will not change.
LeakMode
Selects between different 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 different 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
