Reverb
Box, Small, Medium, Large, Big, and Spring are the names of the reverb algorithms.
Reverb level is defined by the Reverb parameter. A Reverb =0 value conserves
processing resources.
You can also select Bypass in the Reverb Mode pull-down menu, if you want to disable
the reverb without changing its level.
The reverb is always patched after the EQ, wah wah and distortion effects, but before
the rotor effect. This means that the reverb always sounds as if it is played back
through the rotor speaker. To hear the reverb after the rotor, switch off the organ’s
reverb, and use an aux send to apply reverb to the Audio Instrument object.
Wah
The name “Wah Wah” comes from the sound it produces. It has been a popular effect
with electric guitarists since the days of Jimi Hendrix. The pedal controls the cutoff
frequency of a band pass, low pass, or—less commonly—high pass filter. The wah wah
pedal has also been used extensively with the Hammond organ.
MIDI Pedal Control
It is recommended that you permanently attach an Expression Pedal to your MIDI
master keyboard. Your master keyboard should transmit MIDI control change #11
(Expression real-time volume), if you attach an Expression Pedal to the Expression jack
and move it. This would normally be used to control the volume while playing.
If you program an EVB3 setting, set the Expression parameter to 0, and then define a
wah wah effect (with controller 11 controlling the wah wah’s cutoff frequency), you can
control the wah wah with the pedal—without having to program anything on the
master keyboard.
Read more on this in the “MIDI Setup” on page 456. You should also consult the users
manual of your keyboard.
Wah Wah Control with other MIDI-Controllers or Aftertouch
You can use any MIDI control change message to control the wah wah effect. You can
select any controller number and Channel Aftertouch (Touch) in the CC field.
