Introduction
The MIDI Drawbar provides a convenient method of accessing MIDI parameters and controls in real-time. It can be
velcroed onto a keyboard controller allowing for an ergonomic placement of controls. MIDI audio mixing, MIDI
lighting, and synthesizer control are some of the possible uses for the MIDI Drawbar.
The MIDI Drawbar makes an excellent companion to the V3 Tone Wheel Organ Synthesizer. Instant access to the
most important V3 controls can easily be achieved by pushing labeled buttons, turning knobs, or moving drawbars.

AUX morph drawbar control numbers. (AUX is mainly used for a second set of drawbars on a manual). Front Panel There are three types of controls provided for the user on the MIDI Drawbar. Refer to the diagram on page 2. Section 1 contains nine push-button type controls with associated indicators, section 2 contains four rotary controls (knobs), and section 3 contains nine drawbars. - Page 3 What Are Drawbars? This section will describe the use of drawbars in an organ context, for example, using the MIDI Drawbar with the V3 Tone Wheel Organ Synthesizer. The MIDI Drawbar need not be used for organ applications; its drawbars can be used for many application such as the volume faders of a MIDI mixer, or reverb time of an effects processor.
- Page 4 The second step for configuring the MIDI Drawbars for use with the V3 is to set the MIDI channel selector switch. It should be set to the same channel as the keyboard or sequencer. See the MIDI drawbar manual if you are unsure about this operation.
- Page 5 Using the MIDI Drawbar With A Sequencer The best way to record drawbar changes and other MIDI control changes produce by the MIDI Drawbar is to record from the THRU output of the V3 (or the next module after the MIDI Drawbar). This will allow note on/off information as well as control changes to be saved in a MIDI sequence.
- Page 6 To use the MIDI Drawbar as a continuous controller: connect the device receiving MIDI data to MIDI OUT of the MIDI Drawbar. The MIDI Drawbar MERGE IN allows another MIDI controller's MIDI out to be connected and merged with the data generated by the MIDI Drawbar.
