458 Chapter 26 EVB3
Keyboard Split
The EVB3 can also be played perfectly with a single MIDI keyboard (one manual) that is
only capable of transmitting on one MIDI send channel. You can split the keyboard in
order to play Upper, Lower, and Pedal sounds on different keyboard zones.
In the parameter field in the bottom center of the GUI, set Keyboard Mode = Split.
Set the keyboard zones with the UL Split and LP Split parameters, in conjunction with
the Set buttons. The abbreviations are for: Upper/Lower and Lower/Pedal. To do so,
simply click on the appropriate Set button (it will turn orange), and press the desired
note on your MIDI keyboard.
Note: If the LP Split is set to a value above the UL Split, the other splitpoint is moved
(and vice versa).
Note: If you select the same value for both splitpoints, the Lower manual is not heard/
active.
Note: In order to use preset switching in conjunction with Keyboard Mode Split, you
might need to adjust the transpositions for the Upper Manual (Trans UM), Lower
Manual (Trans LM) and Pedal (Trans Ped).
Transposition (Octave Range)
You can individually transpose the Upper (Trans UM), Lower (Trans LM) and Pedal (Trans
Ped) registers up/down one or two octaves, independent of the global transpose
functions. Transposition is useful for setting the various registers to a particular range,
matching your needs. This facility is of particular importance when using split mode.
Note: As with Logic’s global transposition functions (which can be set in semitones),
these manual-specific transpositions have no impact on the preset keys. Also see
“Preset Keys and Morphing” on page 464.
MIDI Mode
This parameter allows you to define how the drawbar settings will respond to remote
MIDI control change messages. Normally, you won’t need to change anything here. If
you own a MIDI drawbar organ, however, you’ll probably want to use its hardware
drawbars to control the EVB3. Most hardware drawbar organs utilize an independent
control change number for every drawbar. Some models allow you to freely define
these control change numbers. Lists of control change number assignments for the
following MIDI Modes can be found in the “MIDI Controller Assignments” section, on
page 477.
