Use Vintage B3 Morph controls
You can switch—or smoothly crossfade (morph)—between the presets of the upper manual. See
Vintage B3 Morph parameters.
Important: Morph controls are spread across two windows. Click Main in the control bar, then
click the Preset button at the lower right to view the Morph slider. The Options window contains
advanced Morph controls.
Learn a MIDI controller for morphing
1 Click Options in the control bar.
2 Choose Learn from the (Morph) MIDI Controller pop-up menu.
When Learn is active, the parameter is assigned to the first appropriate incoming MIDI data
message.
3 Move the MIDI controller on your MIDI device.
Learn mode has a 20-second time-out function: if Vintage B3 does not receive a MIDI message
within 20 seconds, the parameter reverts to its original MIDI controller assignment.
Set the Vintage B3 morph range
Once you have chosen a controller to use for switching or morphing between upper manual
registrations, you can determine the number of preset keys that are affected. You can morph
between two and eleven presets for the upper manual.
Morphing always begins with the top preset key, the B.
••
If Range = A#, you morph between two presets.
••
If Range = G#, you morph between four presets (B, A#, A, and G).
••
If Range = F#, you morph between six presets (and so on).
1 Click Main in the control bar.
2 Click the Preset button at the lower right.
3 Click the Select via Keyboard On button.
4 Play two keys on your MIDI keyboard to set the morph range.
Save a registration while morphing
In Linear mode (morphing), the seamless crossfades result in a variety of new draw bar
registrations that you might want to save. You can change draw bar positions manually, before
saving.
