Choosing the EVB3 MIDI Mode
The MIDI Mode parameter determines the way the EVB3 drawbars respond to remote
MIDI control change messages. Most users won’t need to change anything here.

MIDI mode.
If you own a MIDI drawbar organ, you’ll want to use its hardware drawbars to control the
EVB3. Most hardware drawbar organs use an independent MIDI control change number
for each drawbar. Lists of control change number assignments for the MIDI modes in the
table below are shown in ensuing sections.

µ
Repeatedly click the MIDI Mode parameter field at the bottom center of the interface
until you see the desired mode.
DescriptionMode
Every drawbar responds to a specific MIDI control change number,
beginning with CC #70. Nondrawbar parameters can be set using
control change messages up to CC #118.
RK
All of the EVB3 drawbars are controlled by MIDI control change
numbers #80–82. Values are intelligently mapped to the drawbars.
The resolution of this technique is not particularly high (much like
the original B3), but it works well. The Hammond-Suzuki XB-2 uses
this controller assignment method, allowing you to remotely control
the EVB3’s drawbars. In addition to drawbar support, you can use
the following controls of the Hammond Suzuki XB-1, XK-2, and XK-3
to remotely control the EVB3:
• Leslie: Brake/On/Fast
• Vibrato and Chorus
• Percussion (2nd/3rd/soft/fast)
A list of all control change number assignments can be found at
EVB3 MIDI Mode: HS.
HS
The Native Instruments B4 settings are replicated, allowing the use
of the Native Instruments B4D Drawbar controller.
NI
The EVB3 responds to control change messages from Clavia’s Nord
Electro II keyboard.
NE
The EVB3 does not respond to MIDI drawbar messages.Off
