Setting the Parameters
SUSTAIN
Not like the “Sustain” segment of a synth enve-
lope generator. On this organ “Sustain” refers to
the decay of the note after the key or pedal is
released.
Setting the PEDAL Part
5. TONE-WHEELS
This allows you to select the Virtual Tone-wheel set (waveform) of the PEDAL Part.

Normal: The traditional B-3 Tone-wheel sound
MutedMuted

Muted: Analog-oscillating sound represented by the X-5.

Synth1: Sawtooth waveform with sweep filter.

Synth2: Dull square waveform.
6. ATTACK
This allows you to set the Attack Rate and the Key-Click Volume at ATTACK and RELEASE.
MAX CLKMAX CLK

MAX CLK: Immediate attack with loud key-click.

7. DECAY RATE
This allows you to choose whether the voice is continuously sustained, or decays while the
pedal is depressed.
The setting range is 1 - 5 and C. The higher the value gets, the longer the decay time. There is
no decay at C (=continuous).
8. SUSTAIN - LENGTH
This allows you to set the Release Rate (= the decay time after you release the key) of Pedal
Sustain, when the “P.SUS” on the PLAY Mode (P. 42) is ON.
1 is the shortest, and 5 is the longest decay time.
9. KEY MODE
This allows you to set the Pedal Part voice mode.

Y: Makes it possible to play up to 8 notes together.
MONOMONO

MONO: Only the lowest note will sound, regarless of how many keys are depressed.
NOTE: The previously released note will be cut when you play the next one, even when the PEDAL
Part is in the POLY mode and “P. SUS” is ON.
10. SUB-DRAWBAR 16'
This is for controlling the harmonic combination of Pedal Drawbar 16'.
It is possible to control each footage of 16', 5

11. SUB-DRAWBAR 8'

NOTE: All the parameters in these modes are
Preset Parameters. They are recorded
into the Combination Preset.
SUB-DRAWBARS
The two Pedal Drawbars, 16' and 8', of on the
original B-3, did not simply produce the corre-
sponding tone-wheel sounds but the sounds of
registrations composed of several harmonics.
These registrations differ from model to model
depending when the organs were made. Sub-
Drawbar function is for controlling the registra-
tions of Pedal Drawbars.
