Organ Map
e organ map controls the relative amplitude of each key, per drawbar. Like the wheel
volume maps, these maps are based on measurements we’ve made on actual organs. Equal
uses the same volume for each key and drawbar, and is not based on a real B3. Peck’s is a
good normal map, from a B3 in good condition. Eric’s is a bit more idealized; it’s smoothed
out, but less realistic. Bob’s is more uneven, based on an old B3.
Wheel Vol Map (Wheel Volume Map)
e wheel volume map determines the volume level for each tone wheel. We’ve provided
several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements we’ve taken on dierent
organs. Equal is a map with all tone wheels at the same volume. It’s not based on a real B3.
Bright is a good normal map, based on a B3 in good condition. Junky is based on a B3 with
an uneven, rolled-o response. Mellow is somewhere between Bright and Junky.
You can also apply EQ to control wheel volumes based on the frequencies of each tone
wheel. See KB3 Editor: The EQ Page on page 3-113.
Globals
e Globals parameter aects LFO2, ASR2, and FUNs 2 and 4. When Globals is set to
O, these four control sources are local; they aect each pair of tone wheels individually.
ey begin operating each time a tone wheel is turned on. When Globals is set to On, these
control sources become global, and they aect every tone wheel of the current program
simultaneously. Since all tone wheels are turned on nearly simultaneously when a program is
selected, you typically will not notice a dierence between having Globals set to On or O.
In some cases, it may be possible to hear dierences in the modulation of each pair of tone
wheels when using these control sources with Globals set to O.
Lower/Upper Xpose (Lower/Upper Transpose)
ese two parameters let you transpose the upper and/or lower tone wheels in semitone steps
away from their default tunings.
