Chapter 22 EVB3 347
Extended Parameters
A number of additional parameters are accessible in the extended parameter view of
the EVB3 window.
Dry Level
Adjusts the level of the dry signal, which can also be useful if the “Switches to dry
sound” option is selected in the Brake menu, found below.
Brake Menu
The Brake menu offers two options that allow you to modify the EVB3’s Brake mode:
 Stops rotor: In this mode, the movement of the rotor is gradually slowed down to a
total stop.
 Switches to dry sound: In this mode, the rotor cabinet is bypassed when stopped,
with a delay time of one second. This is useful if using the modulation wheel to
switch between the Tremolo (fast rotor speed) and Chorale (slow movement) modes.
If you then switch to Brake mode, the rotors are slowed down during the transition
to the dry sound.
Horn Brake and Drum Brake Pos
The Horn Brake Pos and Drum Brak Pos sliders allow you to set an exact stop position
for the Leslie horn or bass rotator, respectively. This is something that the original Leslie
could not do, sometimes resulting in a horn that was aimed at the back of the cabinet
when it came to a halt, which has a less than desirable sound.
Reverb Menu
The Reverb menu allows you to patch the reverb effect before (Pre) or after (Post) the
rotor effect.
Velo to Click
The Velo to Click slider allows you to set the velocity sensitivity of the Click parameters
(see “Click Parameters” on page 368).
Bass Menu
The Bass menu allows you to imitate the non-foldback bass behavior of the first
Hammond organ ever made, the model A. This model had no foldback for the 16'
drawbar in the lowest octave, with the bottom twelve tone generator outputs available
on the first drawbar of the manuals’ bottom octave. On other console organs, the
lowest twelve tone generator outputs are only available on the pedals. To simulate the
behavior of the Hammond Model A, choose the “All the way down” option in the Bass
menu. Without foldback, you’ll find that the sound is more strident, and similar to the
pedal sound, especially if you’re not using a real Leslie cabinet when playing the EVB3.
