TheMISCpagecontainsanassortmentofcontrolparameters,includingLesliespeedcontrol
andvibrato/chorusselection.
PreampResp
SetthisparameterOnorOfftoenableordisablethepreamp+expressionpedal partoftheKB3
model.TurningthisOn(thedefault)makesKB3programsfunctionlikestockorgans.The
expressionpedalinthiscaseismorethanavolumepedal;itactuallyfunctionslikea“loudness
control,”varyingthe
frequencyresponsetocompensatefortheear’ssensit ivityatdifferent
volumes.Inaddition,thepreampprovidesade‐emphasiscurvetocompensateforthebuilt‐in
tonewheelvolumepre‐emphasis.TurningpreampresponseOffemulatesorgansthathave
beenmodifiedtohaveadirectout(beforethepreampand

Leakage
Controlsthelevelofthesimulatedcrosstalkandsignal“bleed”ofadjacenttonewheelsinthe
model.Thisisprovidedtohelp“dirtyup”thesoundtomakeitabitmorerealistic.Asettingof
‐96dBgivesthepuresttones;othervaluesaddmoresimulatedleakage.Thislevel
isscaledby
thedrawbarlevels,aswellasthe expressionpedallevel.
