model .is .active . .Select .the .
desired .vibrato .or .chorus .type .by .repeatedly .pressing .the .Mode .button . .
The .Vibrato/Chorus .section .is .common .for .both .the .upper .and .lower .
presets, .if .the .split .function .is .active .
B3 – .The .original .tonewheel .organ's .vibrato .and .chorus .scanner .
consists .of .a .tapped .delay .line .in .combination .with .a .rotating .scan-
ner . .For .the .Vibrato .effect, .phase .shift .is .applied .to .the .signal . .For .the .
Chorus .effect, .a .phase .modulated .signal .is .added .to .the .original .signal . .
Three .different .types .of .choruses .(C1- .C3) .and .three .different .types .of .
vibratos .(V1-V3) .are .available .
VX - .There .is .only .one .type .of .vibrato .available .for .the .VX .model, .which .
is .activated .using .the .ON .button .in .the .Vibrato .section .
Farf - .This .model .has .two .basic .vibrato .modes; ."Light" .and ."Heavy", .
with .two .different .rates .for .each .mode .
Percussion
.
The .Percussion .effect .adds .
extra .attack .to .the .B3 .sound .by .

"opens .up" .for .a .short .moment .
in .the .beginning .of .the .sound .when .you .press .the .key(s) . .The .percus-
sion .will .only .affect .the .upper .manual .if .the .Split .function .is .active . .
The .Percussion .is .a .single-triggered .non-legato .effect . .It .is .only .present .
when .you .hit .the .keys .when .no .other .note .is .sounding . .In .other .words, .
if .you .play .a .note .or .a .chord .and .then .add .on .more .notes .without .
releasing .the .previously .pressed .keys, .there .will .be .no .percussion .effect .
in .the .new .notes . .You .have .to .release .all .keys .to .be .able .to .play .new .
notes .with .the .percussion .effect .
The .percussion .effect .is .activated .and .deactivated .by .pressing .the .On .
button . .The .Soft/Fast .button .toggles .between .normal .or .soft .per-
cussion .levels .and .fast .or .slow .decay .times, .providing .four .available .
combinations . .The .Third .button .toggles .between .using .the .2nd .or .3rd .
partial .as .the .source .for .the .percussion .effect . .The .percussion .decay .
times .(and .levels) .can .be .fine-tuned .for .Fast .and .Slow .mode .individu-
ally . .Please .refer .to .the .B3 .Menu .on .page .19 .for .details .

Preset/Drawbar/Split
.
Use .the .Preset/Lo .and .Drawbar/Up .
buttons .to .store .and .recall .two .sepa-
rate .organ .settings .for .each .program . .
When .Preset .is .active .(the .LED .lit), .the .
drawbar .settings .in .the .preset .will .be .
used, .and .the .drawbars .on .the .panel .will .not .affect .the .sound . .This .al-

When .Drawbar .is .active, .the .LED .will .be .lit .only .if .the .physical .position .of .
the .drawbars .on .the .panel .matches .the .settings .in .the .program . .If .both .
the .Preset .and .Drawbar .LEDs .are .off, .this .indicates .that .the .drawbars .are .
active .but .the .position .on .the .panel .does .not .match .the .settings .stored .
in .the .program . .As .soon .as .you .move .a .drawbar .on .the .panel, .the .sound .
will .change .to .reflect .that .drawbar's .position . .
Hold .Shift .and .press .the .Preset/Lo .button .to .save .the .current .drawbar .
setting .on .the .panel .as .the .Preset . .This .preset .then .has .to .be .stored .in .
the .program .as .well . .Edit .the .settings .of .the .Preset .by .holding .the .Preset .

By .default, .the .split .point .on .the .keyboard .is .between .the .keys .B3 .and .
C4 . .You .can, .however, .also .set .the .split .point .manually .by .holding .both .
the .Shift .and .Split .buttons, .the .split .LED .starts .to .flash, .then .while .still .
