Switch Vintage B3 registrations while playing (organ gate eect)
1 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 nger of your left hand, while
sustaining a chord with your right hand.
3 Press the preset keys with the other ngers 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-specic gate-
type eect. Each time you switch to a new registration, the chord is retriggered.

from transpositions.

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 dierently in
a real Hammond organ, where the draw bars aect only the A# (upper manual) and B (lower
manual) preset registrations. This feature allows you to prepare a new registration with the draw
bars while playing, then switch to the new registration when needed.
1 Open the Options window, then choose the (Edit/Preset Key) A# and B only switch position.
The upper manual draw bars can now change the registration of the A# preset key, and the draw
bars of the lower manual aect the B preset key.
2 Change the draw bars of the A# preset key. You can play the keyboard while doing so, without
changing the currently chosen registration.
3 Switch to the prepared registration with the A# preset key.
