KB3 Program Structure

Of course, you can change the programmed settings for the KB3-mode buttons. For each of the
buttons, there’s a corresponding parameter in the Program Editor.

MIDI Control of KB3 Programs

When you’re playing a KB3 program from an external MIDI source, there are two things to keep
in mind:

Certain MIDI Controller numbers always control specific KB3 features

The value of the LocalKbdCh parameter affects how KB3 programs respond to MIDI
Controller messages

Controller Numbers

Table 6-3 lists the MIDI Controller numbers that control KB3 features. The first column lists
the Controller numbers that KB3 programs always respond to (the PC3 also sends these
Controller numbers to its MIDI Out port when you’re using the local keyboard channel—we’ll
say more about that on page 6-7). KB3 programs also respond to the Controller numbers in the
second column; these are the Controller numbers that the Voce™ MIDI Drawbar Controller uses
to control common tone wheel organ features. Whatever kind of external MIDI source you’re
using, you can use the MIDI controller numbers in either the second or third column to control
the corresponding KB3 feature in the first column. For example, to control Drawbar 1, you can
send either MIDI 6 or MIDI 12.
