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 sensitivity 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 expression pedal). Set
PreampResp to Off to disable the volume pedal.
Exp Pedal
Use this parameter to set which rear panel CC Pedal input will control volume for the
current KB3 program. With a setting of Expression/Foot, volume can be controlled by a CC
pedal plugged into either the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal 1 (volume), or the rear panel
input labeled CC Pedal 2. With a setting of Expression, volume can be controlled by a CC
pedal plugged into the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal 1 (volume). With a setting of Foot,
volume can be controlled by a CC pedal plugged into the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal
2. With a setting of None, volume control from both CC pedal inputs is disabled.
Leakage
This parameter 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.
LeakMode
This parameter selects between different leakage models, determining which leakage
harmonics are emphasized. TypeA provides an overall tone wheel leakage, with all tone
wheels leaking a small amount. TypeX, TypeY, TypeZ, and TypeR emulate different degrees
of drawbar leakage, where the leakage components correspond to the nine drawbars, instead
of all the tone wheels.
