B3X and expression pedal issue. [Resolved]

Postby JohnMartinKvalsund68 » Sun Mar 14, 2021 11:10 pm

I'm in the process of testing B3X to upgrade my clonewheel setup, which currently is based on NI B4 II. The console is a Yamaha Electone from the early nineties, where I use Bome's MIDI translator to adapt the organs controls to the clonewheel app.(Has worked fine for over a decade, Yamaha knows their stuff).

There is however an issue with the expression pedal.
On the B4, theres a "Drive" button which controls the amount of overdrive/distortion the expression pedal can generate. When set to zero, there's no overdrive even when full throttle on the pedal. On the B3x, the expression pedal seems to go directly on the gain-parameter, causing overdrive when exceeding level 3 on a scale to 10. This is a bit annoying, since using the expression pedal active is an important part of the Hammond playing-technic. I guess I can one way or another rescale the input value from the expression pedal, but that seems a bit akward. Anyone who has a clever setup for this?

Regards,
John Martin

Found it: The expression setting was on the Controls tab... My bad.

And so far the B3X is better than the B4 in most areas, just feel a little delay in the bass pedals. Guess thats a config issue aa well.

I am glad that you have found the answer.

Re: the Bass pedal delay _ i am not too sure that that is configurable. Can you report it to Technical Support?
