Switch Vintage B3 registrations while playing (organ gate effect)
1 Click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2 Hold the Clear key (C) on your master keyboard with the small finger of your left hand, while
sustaining a chord with your right hand.
3 Press the preset keys with the other fingers of your left hand.
The chord being played with your right hand is retriggered (with the new registration) each time
you play one of the preset keys. This two-handed technique results in an organ-specific gatetype
effect. Each time you switch to a new registration, the chord is retriggered.
Disable MIDI preset key switching
Disabling the switching of presets with MIDI notes 24 to 35 eliminates problems that may arise
from transpositions.
1 Click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2 Turn off Select via Keyboard.
Switch Vintage B3 registrations with a two-draw bar controller
When you use a two-draw bar hardware controller, there is an additional mode that allows
Hammond-like switching between two registrations. By default, moving draw bars always
changes the registration of the currently active preset registration key. This works differently in
a real Hammond organ, where the draw bars affect only the A# (upper manual) and B (lower
manual) preset registrations. This feature allows you to prepare a new registration with the draw
bars while playing, then switch to the new registration when needed.
1 Open the Options window, then choose the (Edit/Preset Key) A# and B only switch position.
The upper manual draw bars can now change the registration of the A# preset key, and the draw
bars of the lower manual affect the B preset key.
2 Change the draw bars of the A# preset key. You can play the keyboard while doing so, without
changing the currently chosen registration.
3 Switch to the prepared registration with the A# preset key.
