Organ Map
The organ map controls the relative amplitude of each key, per drawbar. Like the wheel
volume maps, these maps are based on measurements we've made on actual organs. Equal
uses the same volume for each key and drawbar, and is not based on a real B3. Peck's is a
good normal map, from a B3 in good condition. Eric's is a bit more idealized; it's smoothed
out, but less realistic. Bob's is more uneven, based on an old B3.
Wheel Vol Map (Wheel Volume Map)
The wheel volume map determines the volume level for each tone wheel. We've provided
several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements we've taken on different
organs. Equal is a map with all tone wheels at the same volume. It's not based on a real B3.
Bright is a good normal map, based on a B3 in good condition. Junky is based on a B3 with
an uneven, rolled-off response. Mellow is somewhere between Bright and Junky.
You can also apply EQ to control wheel volumes based on the frequencies of each tone
wheel. See
Globals
The Globals parameter affects LFO2, ASR2, and FUNs 2 and 4. When Globals is set to
Off, these four control sources are local; they affect each pair of tone wheels individually.
They begin operating each time a tone wheel is turned on. When Globals is set to On, these
control sources become global, and they affect every tone wheel of the current program
simultaneously. Since all tone wheels are turned on nearly simultaneously when a program is
selected, you typically will not notice a difference between having Globals set to On or Off.
In some cases, it may be possible to hear differences in the modulation of each pair of tone
wheels when using these control sources with Globals set to Off.
Lower/Upper Xpose (Lower/Upper Transpose)
These two parameters let you transpose the upper and/or lower tone wheels in semitone steps
away from their default tunings.
