Vintage B3 Options window overview<br />
You can adjust the Vintage B3 output level, tuning, key click volume, and other basic sound<br />
aspects with the Options controls. See Vintage B3 Master and Click controls.<br />
Advanced controls for Percussion, Scanner Vibrato, and Morph are also found in the Options<br />
window. See Vintage B3 Percussion effect, Vintage B3 Scanner Vibrato and Chorus, and Vintage<br />

Vintage B3 Master and Click controls<br />
Master parameters<br />
••<br />
Tune knob: Rotate to change Vintage B3 tuning in cents. A cent is 1/100th of a semitone. 0 c is<br />
equal to A=440 Hz.<br />
••<br />
Volume knob: Rotate to set the overall output level. The Volume knob must be lowered<br />
whenever crackling or other digital distortion occurs. Volume levels over 0 dB can occur if you<br />
maximize the levels of all registers, play numerous notes, and make use of the Distortion effect.<br />
••<br />
Expression knob: Rotate to set the sensitivity for a connected expression pedal (on a MIDI<br />
keyboard with an Expression or assignable controller input). Extensive, often rhythmic, use of<br />
the expression (volume) pedal forms part of the style of many organ players. The expression<br />
control also emulates the tonal changes of the B3 pre-amplifier, where bass and treble<br />
frequencies are not attenuated as much as the mid frequencies. Your master keyboard should<br />
transmit MIDI control change #11 when the pedal is moved. Vintage B3 defaults to the use of<br />
CC #11 for Expression.<br />
Click parameters<br />
Advanced click controls are available in the Expert page. See Vintage B3 Condition controls.<br />
••<br />
Key On/Key Off knobs: Rotate to set the level of the key click sound heard during note on or<br />
note off messages.<br />
••<br />
Pedal knob: Rotate to set the level of the key click sound heard during note on and note off<br />
messages for the pedal register.<br />
••<br />
Velocity knob: Rotate to set the velocity sensitivity of the click parameters.<br />
