The Synth Bass Model
The synth bass model is available when the B3, VX or Farf models are
activated. For the tonewheel model you can alternate between the
original tonewheel bass registers or the synth bass model by pressing
Shift + Organ Model.
The main feature of the synth bass model is a monophonic bass
synthesizer with adjustable release time, giving you more time to
move your foot when using a foot pedal board. It also has an adjust-
able pluck for a more pronounced attack. Pluck and release time are
adjusted with the Bass drawbars while holding down the Shift key or
by entering the Pluck/Release menu by holding Shift and pressing the
To Great button.
Splitting the great manual
By pressing the To Great button
you split the great (lower) manual
in two sections at the C3 key.
The lower two octaves of the
great manual are then using the
pedal drawbars.
Hold Shift and press the To Great button to open the Pluck/Release
menu. This option is only available if the Synth Bass model is active.
Pedal Preset
Pressing the Pedal Preset button toggles between the settings in the
Pedal Preset and the panel drawbars.
Hold the Pedal Preset button and adjust the drawbars to edit the Pedal
Preset.
