What Is A "Part; Advanced Features - Midi - Hammond B-3 Owner's Playing Manual

Ë What Is A "Part"?
The MIDI implementation of your New B-3 allows you to play up to three MIDI voices at a time
from each manual and pedals. Each voice is considered as being played by a separate performance
platform or "sub-manual" called a Part. Each Part can have its own settings for such things as
Program Number, Bank Number, Volume, Panpot, Reverb and Chorus levels. In this way, you
can play, for example, Piano and Strings together, or any combination of voices available from
whatever MIDI gear you may be using, with each voice having its own Volume setting, Pan setting,
etc.
The Parts are referred to by manual and by number; SWELL 1, SWELL 2, SWELL 3, GREAT 1,
GREAT 2, GREAT 3, and PEDAL 1, PEDAL 2 and PEDAL 3. The first letter of the manual
designation is used in the Information Center Display, so that "S1" refers to SWELL 1, "G3" means
GREAT 3, etc.
