PreampResp
Set this parameter On or Off to enable or disable the preamp+expression pedal part of the KB3
model. Turning this On (the default) 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 de‐emphasis curve to compensate for the built‐in
tone wheel volume pre‐emphasis. Turning preamp response Off emulates organs that have
been modified to have a direct out (before the preamp and expression pedal).
Leakage
Controls the level of the simulated crosstalk and signal "bleed" of adjacent tone wheels in the
model. This is provided to help "dirty up" the sound to make it a bit more realistic. A setting of
‐96 dB gives the purest tones; other values add more simulated leakage. This level is scaled by
the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level. The leakage level can be controlled
during performance with knob 11 (labeled CTL 11.) The leakage level can also be controlled by
MIDI CC 24; value 0 = ‐96 dB, value 127 = 0 dB, values between 0 and 127 scale between ‐96 dB
and 0 dB. When using CC 24, the value displayed for the Leakage parameter will not change.
LeakMode
Selects between different leakage models, determining which leakage harmonics are
emphasized. TypeA provides an overall tone wheel leakage, with all tone wheels leaking a small
amount. TypeX, TypeY, TypeZ and TypeR emulate different degrees of drawbar leakage, where
the leakage components correspond to the nine drawbars, instead of all the tone wheels.
SpeedCtl
Select either Fast or Slow to choose the speed of the rotary speaker emulation. You can toggle
between fast and slow speed using Assignable Switch 1 (SW1) (labeled Rotary Slow/Fast.)
Assignable Switch 1 also sends and responds to MIDI CC 80; a value of 0‐63 = Slow, and 64‐127 =
Fast.
VibChorCtl
Choose On or Off to turn on or off either vibrato or chorus (as selected with the VibChorSel
parameter). You can toggle between on and off using Assignable Switch 3 (SW3) (labeled
Vibrato On/Off.) Assignable Switch 3 also sends and responds to MIDI CC 82; a value of 64‐127
= On, and 0‐63 = Off.
