4. Operation elements
4.1. Drawbars
After switching B4D on, the drawbars of B4D control the upper manual. With
the buttons
LOWER / PEDAL you can switch to the according area.
4.2. Rotary knob
The two rotary knobs control the overdrive ( OVERDRIVE ) respectively the
overall volume (
VOLUME ) of the B4. If PEDAL is selected, the button
VIBRATO switches the overdrive on/off.
4.3. Percussion and Rotator
The labeling of the buttons and their effect corresponds to the original and is
self explanatory. The choice of the area (Pedal, Upper, Lower) has no
influence on the function of these buttons.
4.4. Vibrato and Chorus
The button VIBRATO switches the effect for UPPER and LOWER on and off,
dependent on the chosen area. The choice of the Vibrato/Chorus type (
V1 to
C3 ) is always true for both areas. In case the area PEDAL is selected, the
button
VIBRATO has the function on/off (see 4.2).
4.5. Presets
By selecting a preset the stored presets in the B4 software are chosen via
Program Change - the B4D itself does not have its own presets. Therefore,
after selecting a preset of the B4 the display of the button states are neutral.
If the MIDI output of the B4 is connected with the B4D, the button states are
refreshed after calling up a preset. The option “Presets/B4D Controller Dump
on Program Change“ must be selected and the according MIDI out-port in the
menu “File/Preferences/Audio Setup/MIDI“ must be active in the B4
software.
