PC2 Made Easy

which correspond to the Low and High Pitch settings you can choose with the zone 4

button. On a real B3, the Low Harmonic is the pitch of Drawbar 4, and the High

Harmonic is the pitch of Drawbar 5. But with the PC2, you can chose the pitch from any

drawbar for each setting.

Finally the last parameter is the Steal Bar parameter. On a real B3, when you turn

Percussion On, it disables one of the drawbars in order to be able to produce the

Percussion tone. On a real B3, this is always the 9

drawbar. But on the PC2, you can

choose any drawbar you want. You will notice that on any KB3 preset, once you turn

Percussion On, moving the mod wheel has no effect on the sound, since the 9

drawbar

has been turned off.

13. Now press the LFO button. The LFO menu contains the same four LFO parameters

you see for regular programs. But these LFOs are not used in the KB3 programs. Press

the >> button 4 times to get to the Rotor Effects parameters, which ARE used by KB3

programs.

The classic Leslie Rotary Speaker cabinet has two rotating speakers, one for low

frequencies and one for high frequencies. The lower speaker rotates counter-clockwise

and the higher speaker rotates clockwise. The speakers always rotate, but you could

switch between a slow rotation and fast rotation (typically done with a foot pedal on a

real Leslie). On the PC2, switching back and forth between the two speeds will ramp up

or down at the same rate as a real Leslie speaker does. On the PC2, you can switch

between the speeds with either the Rotary Fast/Slow button, or a pedal plugged into

Switch Pedal 3.

The PC2 allows you to set both the slow and fast rotating speeds for each of the two

ÒvirtualÓ speakers that are part of the Rotary effect. The Low Rate and High Rate

parameters control the slower rotating speed for the low and high ÒspeakersÓ. The Low

Adjust and High Adjust parameters control the faster rotating speed for the low and

high ÒspeakersÓ. You will notice that on any of our presets, the Low rate and Low

Adjust parameters are set to negative values, which equate with the counter-clockwise

rotation, while the High Rate and High Adjust parameters are set to positive values,

which equate with clockwise rotation.

Try adjusting these 4 parameters and listen to the change in the sound. Be sure to switch

back and forth between slow and fast settings to get the full effect.

14. Finally we will save the program. You may wish to go back to some of the

parameters and edit them to your liking. Once you have a program you like, press the

Store button. The PC2 will ask if you want to save the Voice. Saving and/or renaming

are identical to the dialogs you see when saving a Setup, so we wonÕt go into details

here.
