The default range for preset (registration) keys spans MIDI note numbers 24 to 35 (C0 to
B0). This means that the lowest playable MIDI note number is 36 (C1). You can transpose
the keyboard range in Logic Pro or Vintage B3 itself. A 61-note keyboard—which spans
notes C to C—can be played across the entire range when the Transpose values of your
host application are set to 0. The preset (registration) keys are positioned one octave
below this transposed or non-transposed range. See Use a single-channel controller with
Logic Pro Vintage B3.
Choose a registration
1. In Logic Pro, click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2. Click a preset key shown to the left (upper manual) or right (lower manual) of the Upper
Morph slider.
3. Play one of the preset key MIDI notes (MIDI note numbers 24 to 35).
Initialize a registration
1. In Logic Pro, click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2. Click the lowest preset key (shown as “C”) for the upper or lower manual. The other 11
keys, from C# to B, recall registrations for the upper or lower manuals.
3. Play MIDI note number 24.
Switch Vintage B3 registrations while playing (organ gate effect)
1. In Logic Pro, click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2. Hold the Clear key (C) on your master keyboard with the small finger of your left hand,
while sustaining a chord with your right hand.
3. Press the preset keys with the other fingers of your left hand.
The chord being played with your right hand is retriggered (with the new registration)
each time you play one of the preset keys. This two-handed technique results in an
organ-specific gate-type effect. Each time you switch to a new registration, the chord is
retriggered.
Disable MIDI preset key switching
Disable preset switching with MIDI notes 24 to 35, thus eliminating problems that may arise
from transpositions.
1. In Logic Pro, click Main in the control bar, then click the Preset button at the lower right.
2. Turn off Select via Keyboard.
Switch Vintage B3 registrations with a two-draw bar controller
When you use a two-draw bar hardware controller, there is an additional mode that
allows Hammond-like switching between two registrations. By default, moving draw
bars always changes the registration of the currently active preset registration key. This
works differently in a real Hammond organ, where the draw bars affect only the A# (upper
manual) and B (lower manual) preset registrations. Use the “draw bar affects” feature to
prepare a new registration while playing, then switch to the new registration later.
