PreampResp
Set this parameter On or O to enable or disable the preamp+expression pedal part of the
KB3 model. Turning this On (the default) makes KB3 programs function like stock organs.
e expression pedal in this case is more than a volume pedal; it actually functions like a
“loudness control,” varying the frequency response to compensate for the ear’s sensitivity at
dierent volumes. In addition, the preamp provides a de-emphasis curve to compensate for
the built-in tone wheel volume pre-emphasis. Turning preamp response O emulates organs
that have been modied to have a direct out (before the preamp and expression pedal). Set
PreampResp to O to disable the volume pedal.
Exp Pedal
Use this parameter to set which rear panel CC Pedal input will control volume for the
current KB3 program. With a setting of Expression/Foot, volume can be controlled by a CC
pedal plugged into either the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal 1 (volume), or the rear panel
input labeled CC Pedal 2. With a setting of Expression, volume can be controlled by a CC
pedal plugged into the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal 1 (volume). With a setting of Foot,
volume can be controlled by a CC pedal plugged into the rear panel input labeled CC Pedal
2. With a setting of None, volume control from both CC pedal inputs is disabled.
Leakage
Controls the level of the simulated crosstalk and signal “bleed” of adjacent tone wheels in the
model. is is provided to help “dirty up” the sound to make it a bit more realistic. A setting
of -96 dB gives the purest tones; other values add more simulated leakage. is level is scaled
by the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level.
LeakMode
Selects between dierent leakage models, determining which leakage harmonics are
emphasized. TypeA provides an overall tone wheel leakage, with all tone wheels leaking
a small amount. TypeX, TypeY, TypeZ, and TypeR emulate dierent degrees of drawbar
leakage, where the leakage components correspond to the nine drawbars, instead of all the
tone wheels.
