DrawbarMode
Determines whether the program's drawbar controls set themselves to the positions of the
drawbar controls when you select the program.
Preset
Initial drawbar settings are defined by the values of Drawbar parameters 1–9; they ignore the
initial positions of the drawbar controls. Moving the drawbars affects the sound during
performance, but the program restores the preset values each time you select the program.
Live
Initial drawbar settings are defined by the positions of the drawbar controls (Knobs A–D in
combination with the Drawbar Toggle button).
Drawbars 1–9 (Drawbar)
The nine parameters correspond to the nine drawbar controls (Knobs A–D in combination with
the Drawbar Toggle button). Each can have a value from 0 (drawbar fully in) to 8 (drawbar fully
out)
DrawbarSteps
Affects the transition between drawbar levels for each of the drawbar controls.
Smooth
Levels range from 0–127 (but still represented as 0–8 in the display). Smoother transition
between levels than Normal.
Normal
Levels range from 0–8, like actual organ drawbars.
Preamp Response (PreampResp)
Enables/disables the preamp+expression pedal part of the KB3 model.
On
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
deemphasis curve to compensate for the built-in tone wheel volume preemphasis.
Off
Emulates organs that have been modified to have a direct out (before the preamp and expression
pedal).
