Set up Vintage B3 for your MIDI equipment
Logic Pro Vintage B3 MIDI setup overview
Vintage B3 is unique among the instruments in that it can be played with three
simultaneous controllers—namely, a MIDI bass pedal unit and two 73-key MIDI keyboards.
This mirrors the two 73-key manuals (organ terminology for keyboards) and the 2-octave
pedalboard configuration of the original B3. See Use multiple or multichannel controllers
with Logic Pro Vintage B3 for more information.
Vintage B3 can also be played with a standard 61-key (5octaves C to C) MIDI keyboard.
See Use a single-channel controller with Logic Pro Vintage B3 for more information.
Vintage B3 also emulates B3 preset keys—the lowest octave of attached MIDI keyboards
can switch between Vintage B3 registrations. This matches the behavior of the original
B3, which features a number of inverted (black) keys in the lowest octave of each manual.
These inverted keys are used as buttons that recall preset registrations (a preset of your
draw bar settings). See Use Logic Pro Vintage B3 preset keys.
For information about setup and use of dedicated MIDI draw bar controllers, see Set the
Logic Pro Vintage B3 MIDI control mode.
Use multiple or multichannel controllers with Logic Pro Vintage B3
By default, Vintage B3 receives the notes for the upper and lower manuals, and for the
pedalboard, on three consecutive MIDI channels, mapped as follows:
MIDI channel1:You play the upper manual sound.
MIDI channel2:You play the lower manual sound.
MIDI channel3:You play the pedalboard sound.
This allows you to simultaneously play Vintage B3 with up to three MIDI controllers.
You can also use a single-manual master keyboard—with different keyboard zones, or a
keyboard split feature—that sends data on different MIDI channels to address all three
Vintage B3 sounds simultaneously. Each keyboard zone can be transposed independently.
See also Set the Logic Pro Vintage B3 MIDI control mode. You can use any of your MIDI
interface inputs for your master keyboard or pedalboard. Regardless of the input devices
used, the only relevant factor is the MIDI send channel.
Note: See the user manual for your master keyboard to learn how to set up splits and
zones or how to set its MIDI transmission channel (often called TX Channel).
