338 Chapter 22 EVB3
Click On/Click Off
These two knobs independently control the click volume for the beginning (Click On),
and release, of the note (Click Off). The click off is quieter, even if both controls are set
to the same position.
Click Min/Click Max
Not only are the tone color and volume of clicks altered randomly, but also their
duration. Click duration can vary between a short tick and a longer scratch. Minimum
duration is defined by Click Min, and maximum duration with Click Max. The duration is
displayed in milliseconds, as you move the sliders.
Note: Even if both parameters have identical values, there is still a random variation in
sound. This variation makes some clicks seem shorter than the value set with Click Min.
Click Color
Set the tone color of the click here. Despite its random variation, you can define its
treble portion globally.
Pitch Parameters
Compared to the original B3, the EVB3 offers several parameters to change its pitch
behavior.
Note: The Trans UM, Trans LM and Trans Ped parameters are explained in “Transposition
(Octave Range)” on page 326.
Stretch
The EVB3 is tuned to an equal-tempered scale. As a deviation from this standard
tuning, you can stretch the tuning in the bass and treble ranges, much like acoustic
pianos (especially upright pianos). If you select a value higher than 0 for Upper Stretch,
the pitch of the higher notes will be raised. If you select a value higher than 0 for Lower
Stretch, the pitch of the Lower notes will be lowered.
