330 Chapter 22 EVB3
Volume Control and Expression Pedal
The overall volume of the EVB3 is not only controlled by the software instrument
channel’s volume fader and control change #7, but also with the Volume control in the
EVB3 graphic user interface.
You can control the volume in real time with an expression pedal. Extensive, and often
rhythmic, use of the expression pedal forms part of the style of many organ players.
The expression control also emulates the tonal changes of the B3 preamplifier. Bass and
treble are not attenuated as strongly as the mids, much like a Hi-Fi amplifier that
features a loudness control.
Normally, you would connect an expression pedal to the quarter inch Expression jack
of your master keyboard. Your master keyboard should transmit MIDI control change
#11 when the pedal is moved.
Tune
The simulated tone wheel generator can be tuned in cents (percentages of a semitone).
0 c is equal to A = 440 Hz.
Warning: The Volume must be lowered whenever crackling or other digital distortion
occurs in the instrument channel. Volume levels over 0 dB can occur if you maximize
all registers, play numerous notes, and make use of the Distortion effect.
