<span style="color:blue">Hi Murray,<br /><br />Not sure what kind of information you need but I do acknowledge at the same time that there is not a lot of documentation available for the B3 - I was more wound up in the implementation. <br /><br />If you just take the main panel (not the options) then you have at the top left:<br /><br />Leslie On/Off<br />Reverb On/Off<br /> VibraChorus speed/depth. This does not work too well, use 0 or C3 (chorus)<br />Bright - this should use different tonewheel waveforms for more higher frequency harmonics.<br /><br />In the middle you have<br /><br />2 drawbars for the foot pedals<br />9 drawbars for the lower manual<br />9 drawbars for the upper manual.<br /><br />At the top right you have:<br /><br />Percussive on 4" pipe<br /><br />Percussive on 2 2/3" pipe<br />Slow attack<br />Slow (long) percussive decay<br /><br />The level of the percussive 'ping' depends on the settings of the two percussive drawbars. This is not according to the original which actually disconnected these 2 drawbars when the percussive was active. The slow attack was also not on the B3.<br /><br />On the Left you have<br /><br />Master Volume<br />Options panel<br />Leslie Slow/Fast - you can better leave this on Fast and use the ModWheel to manage the rotational speed.<br /><br />The reverse keys are memories. This is almost true to the original however here you recall all settings, the original could have a number of presets per manual. For the upper manual there was one memory that enabled percussive for example. Here you get 23 memories, the lower manual black B will save the current memory (you should have to doubleclick). It is just a fast way to recall memories but you can also use MIDI PRG_CHANGE too.<br /><br />Now, if you select the options panel you have a whole load of parameters that affect the emulator. They are kind of documented in the README file in the distribution. The text may not be completely up to date: I change the reverb algorithm a while ago and I am not sure I updated the README.<br /><br />Hope that helps a little,<br /><br />Kind regards, nick.</span>
