Chapter 22 EVB3 335
Organ Parameters
The Organ parameters adjust the overall behavior of your EVB3.
The Lower Volume and Pedal Volume parameters are discussed in “Relative Volumes—
Upper/Lower/Pedal” on page 329. The Perc parameter is discussed in “Percussion” on
page 332.
Max Wheels
Calculating (emulating) all tone wheel generators consumes considerable CPU
processing power. A reduction of this parameter value reduces the EVB3’s hunger for
processing resources.
Note: This will diminish some overtones, so you should not reduce this value if you’re
after an ultra-realistic simulation.
Tonal Balance
Changes the mix relationship of the higher/lower sounding tone wheels. Positive
values result in a lighter and brighter sound. Experiment with different Tonal Balance
and Equalizer settings. See the “Equalizer” on page 341, for further information.
Shape
While the Hammond’s tone generators produce pure sine waves (despite technical
artifacts), other organs deliver distorted waveforms. You can produce sounds
resembling those of Farfisa, Solina, or Yamaha organs with the Shape parameters.
You can subtly alter the waveform of the sounds emanating from the tonewheel
generator with the Shape parameter. Moving the parameter to the right will make the
tone brighter (and louder), and moving it to left will make it duller (and softer).
Note: The Shape parameter is placed after the filters which follow the sine generators.
