KB3 Effects And Real-time Controls
Youhavereal‐timecontrolovermanycomponentsofKB3programsdirectlyfromthefront
panel.Theknobsemulatethedrawbarsthataresoessentialtothetonewheelsound,whilethe
assignableswitchesabovethemcancontroltheKB3effects:Leslie,vibrato,chorus,and
percussion.UsetheShiftbuttonnext
toeachsetofcontrolsinordertoaccessalloftheavailable
parameters.
WhenusingaKB3programinProgrammode,theassignableknobsandswitchesalways
controlKB3effects.InSet upmodetheassignableswitchesmuteandunmutezonesbydefault.
Ifyouwanttheassignableswitchesto

Drawbars In KB3 Mode
Oneofthestandardperformancefeaturesofmanytonewheelorgansistheset
ofdrawbarsfor
emulatingthestopsonapipeorgan.Movingthedrawbarscontrolstheamplitudeofeitherthe
fundamentalsortheharmonicsofthenotes(outtoincrease amplitude,intodecreaseit.)
ThePC3LE’sknobsserveastheninedrawbarsfoundonmosttonewheelorgans.Turningthe
knobs
downistheequivalentofpushingthedrawbarsin(removingfundamentalsor
harmonics.)ThetablebelowshowshowthePC3LE’sknobsrelatetostandarddrawbar
functions.
KB3 Mode Effects Buttons (Assignable Switches)
WhenusingaKB3program,thePC3LE’sassignableswitchescontrolKB3effects.TheLEDsof
theassignableswitchesindicatethestatusofthevariouseffects
forthecurrentKB3program.
ThisstatusissavedaspartofeachKB3program.Youcanchangetheeffectsinrealtimeby
pressingthebuttons(orbysendingtheappropriateMIDIControllervaluesfromanexternal
MIDIcontroller,seeTable 6‐3onpage6‐8fordetails.)
