336 Chapter 22 EVB3
Bass Filter
The sound of the Pedal drawbars often appears to be somewhat brilliant, within the
overall musical context. To circumvent this issue, and to suppress the treble of the bass
register, please make use of the Bass Filter. When active, you will only hear a solid bass
organ fundamental in the bass register.
Ultra Bass
If you switch on Ultra Bass, another low octave will be added to the playable range of
the Upper and Lower manuals. These additional low octaves, and the ability to
independently transpose both manuals (see “Transposition (Octave Range)” on
page 326), are not available on the original B3.
Condition Parameters
Technical limitations of electro-mechanical drawbar organs with tonewheels cause
some strange tonal artifacts, such as crosstalk. These quirks form an integral part of the
B3’s charm. You can adjust the following parameters to define the age of your EVB3.
Note: Read more about the Click parameters in “Click Parameters” on page 337.
Drawbar Leak
Even if all drawbars are at their minimum position, the tonewheel generators of the B3
aren’t completely quiet. This is due to leakage of the tone wheels, cross-talking with the
output. Drawbar Leak allows you to set the minimum output level of the drawbars,
when set to minimum. At a value of 0, you can completely eliminate this leakage. At
the maximum setting, drawbar leakage is most definitely audible.
Leakage
Leakage adds a sound resulting from the crosstalk of all tone wheels—including those
of the notes that you don’t play. This provides breath to the organ sound.
