Logic Pro Vintage B3 Master and Click controls
Master parameters
Tune knob and field: Change Vintage B3 tuning in cents. A cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
At a value of 0c (zero cents), the central A key is tuned to 440Hz, or concert pitch.
Volume knob and field: Set the overall output level. The Volume knob must be lowered
whenever crackling or other digital distortion occurs. Volume levels over 0dB can occur
if you maximize the levels of all registers, play numerous notes, and make use of the
Distortion effect.
Expression knob and field: Set the sensitivity for a connected expression pedal (on
a MIDI keyboard with an Expression or assignable controller input). Extensive, often
rhythmic, use of the expression (volume) pedal forms part of the style of many organ
players. The expression control also emulates the tonal changes of the B3 pre-amplifier,
where bass and treble frequencies are not attenuated as much as the mid frequencies.
Your master keyboard should transmit MIDI control change #11 when the pedal is
moved. Vintage B3 defaults to the use of CC #11 for Expression.
Click parameters
Advanced click controls are available in the Expert page. See Logic Pro Vintage B3
Condition controls.
Key On/Off knobs and fields: Set the level of the key click sound heard during note on
or note off messages.
Pedal knob and field: Set the level of the key click sound heard during note on and note
off messages for the pedal register.
Velocity knob and field: Set the velocity sensitivity of the click parameters.
