Extended Leslie Parameters in the EVB3
The following Leslie parameters are found in the Extended Parameters area, accessible
by clicking the disclosure triangle at the lower left of the EVB3 interface.
• Dry Level slider: Adjusts the level of the dry signal, which can also be useful if the
“Switches to dry sound” option is selected in the Brake pop-up menu (see below).
• Brake pop-up menu: Offers two settings that allow you to modify the EVB3’s Brake mode:
• Stops rotor: In this mode, the movement of the rotor is gradually slowed down to a
total stop.
• Switches to dry sound: In this mode, the rotor cabinet is bypassed when stopped,
with a delay time of 1 second. This is useful when you are using the modulation
wheel to switch between the Tremolo (fast rotor speed) and Chorale (slow rotor
speed) modes. If you then switch to Brake mode, the rotors are slowed down during
the transition to the dry sound.
• Horn/Drum Brake Position sliders: Allow you to set an exact stop position for the Leslie
horn or bass rotator, respectively. Because the original Leslie could not do this,
sometimes a horn was aimed at the back of the cabinet when it came to a halt, which
resulted in a less than desirable sound.
• Reverb buttons: Allow you to patch the reverb effect before (Pre) or after (Post) the
rotor effect.
Setting Up the EVB3 for Your MIDI Equipment
The EVB3 is unique among the Logic Studio 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.
The EVB3 can, of course, be played with a standard 61-key (5 octaves C to C) MIDI keyboard.
See Using a Single-Channel Controller with the EVB3 for more information.
