OVERVIEW
Thank you for choosing the V3 DESKTOP — the most modern technology inside an
electronic musical instrument.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF ITS FUNCTIONS
SOUND BOARDS
CONTROLS & MUSIC
Three V3SOUND sound boards can be installed in
the V3 DESKTOP.
The V3 Desktop allows you to play up to 16
sounds simultaneously.
There are several basic models.
Example for live application
Three sounds on MIDI channel 1, solo
One sound on MIDI channel 2, chord
Two sounds on MIDI channel 3, bass
Four sounds on MIDI channels 2 and 3, drums
Any MIDI instrument can be used.
Styles Arranger
Only if a sound board with the General MIDI
Sound Bank is installed, the International Style
Package with more then 300 styles will work.
Sound boards extensions
So with any sound board not only the sound material will be expanded, but also the polyphony
of the instrument will be increased.
Intelligent instrumentation
For example: When three keys are pressed,
only the trumpet should sound on the highest
note, the saxophone on the middle note, and
the trombone on the lowest note.
All current extensions, see www.v3sound.com
16 sounds for live play and 16 sounds for the
playback of MIDI files or styles are all available at
the same time.

OVERVIEW
MULTIPLAYER
The V3 DESKTOP has 3 different players.
MEMORY
All data is stored on the
SD memory card.
MIDI PLAYER
Playback of MIDI files, format 0
MP3 AUDIO
Playback of MP3 audio tracks
STYLE ARRANGER
Playback of rhythm patterns
The SD memory card allows easy transfer of
MIDI and audio files from your computer to the
V3 DESKTOP.
By copying your data from the SD card to
your computer, you can create a complete
backup copy of your V3 DESKTOP data.
There are up to 10,000 memory slots available
on each SD card for MIDI files, MP3 files, styles,
sounds, combinations, and registrations.
Each style has 4 main variations. Up to 16 fill-ins
are pre-programmed for each style.
If you start the fill-in before the middle of the current bar, the fill-in begins immediately. If you start
the fill-in after the middle of the bar, the fill-in begins in the next bar.
Auto Fill-in (AF): If you activate the auto fill-in
function, a suitable fill-in will be selected automatically when you choose a main variation.
Breaks will always start in the next bar.
Intro and Ending 3 are available in both major
and minor versions.
STYLES
The V3 DESKTOP basic style package includes
more than 300 styles. When you expand the V3
with another sound board, you also get styles that
have been created with these sounds specifically.
REGISTRATIONS
All of your settings for one song are saved and retrieved by REGISTRATION.

SETUP
This section tells you how to set up the V3 DESKTOP
for play. Read this information carefully before
turning on the device.
POWER SUPPLY
Make sure the POWER switch on the back of the
device is in the OFF position (LED light is not on).
If the device does not have a power adapter
or it is damaged and you need a replacement,
please contact your V3SOUND dealer. If you
plug the device into the wrong power adapter,
you can severely damage unit’s circuitry.
Plug the power adapter that came with the device
into the DC port on the back of the unit.
The technical specifications of the power
adapter: 9VDC/1.3A
Plug the other end of the power adapter into a power outlet. Make sure that the adapter is compatible with the power supply.
Connect the audio outputs to an amplifier, active
loudspeakers or headphones.
To avoid possible damage to the loud speakers or
other connected electronic devices, always turn on
the V3 DESKTOP first before turning on any active
loud speakers or amplifiers. You should also turn
off the V3 DESKTOP, after you have first turned off
the speakers, mixer and amplifier.
7
SETUP
TO TURN ON
Both card slots have the same capabilities. You
can insert your SD card in CA1 or CA2. You cannot use two SD cards at the same time, however.
Before you turn the device on or off, make sure
that all connected audio devices that amplify the
audio signal (mixer, amplifier, active loudspeakers) have their volumes turned down.

VOLUME PEDAL
The volume pedal, PED, is not activated in the

sounds. You can choose whether the pedal is used
for only the sounds on the right hand or for more
than one channel.
The settings for the volume pedal can be
GLOBAL for all REGISTRATIONS, or individually set and saved for each REGISTRATION.
For more information, see page 51.
TR ANSPOSER
AUTO FILTER
When the volume pedal is activated on a MIDI
channel, all the data of the MIDI controller 11
(expression, bellows dynamic) are automatically
carried out on that MIDI channel.
WHY?
Only one control can be used to carry out the
musical volume changes of piano to forte — either
the bellows or the volume pedal.
If you were to use both controls at the same time,
it would be like driving a car with two gas pedals.
Press and hold down the [TRANS] key for 2 seconds - then release it. Now for the next 2 seconds,
you can change the numbers at the bottom of the
display by turning the knob on the VALUE pot.
The display will automatically jump back to the
homepage screen.
Now press the [TRANS] key to activate the transposition (LED lights up).
The TRANSPOSE value and its status ON/OFF (LED
lights up when it is activated) are saved separately
for each REGISTRATION.

Until now, you have been accustomed to changing
the current sound in order to play other sounds.
The V3 DESKTOP offers more.
You have 16 sounds and you choose which selection of the 16 available sounds is active in each
SCENE. A sound may be active in one, two, or in
all four SCENES.
With a simple click on the SCENE, you can
change more than one sound simultaneously
— and smoothly.
Smoothly means that even if you are still holding
down a key on your instrument when the SCENE
changes, the sound is not cut off. Only when the
next new key is pressed do the sounds of the new
SCENE play, resulting in a smooth transition of
sounds between SCENES.
You have time to play a note to its end while at the
same time calling up a sound change.
When you have learned this new method of
controlling sounds, you will see its advantages
— especially if you play a MIDI accordion.
Use the same steps to change any of the 16 parts
in any SCENE.

OVERVIEW - MORE MUSIC
MORE MUSIC AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
You will be amazed at the way you can arrange
pieces of music with the V3 DESKTOP. Music lives
by dynamic and variation. On a piano, you change
the dynamic by keystroke velocity, and by air pressure for accordions and brass instruments. All of
today’s MIDI sound generators simulate dynamic,
but the capability of instrumentation was very limited – until now.
For the first time with the DESKTOP, you can:
also control which part (first, second or third)
the sounds should take
change the order of parts any number of times while you are playing the piece
When you play back the pieces of your concert
songlist, notice that music always has a similar instrumentation.
MUSICAL EXAMPLE OF INSTRUMENTATION
ON V3 DESKTOP
Part 1
You are playing the clarinet solo, and as soon as
you press a second key in addition to the first,
a trumpet as the second part – in this case as a
deeper voice – should be heard with the clarinet.
As long as you only press one key at a time, the
clarinet continues to play solo.
Part 2
In the middle of the piece, you want to change the
instrumentation. Now the trumpet should play
the solo part. If you only press one key, only the
trumpet is heard in solo, while the clarinet plays
the second voice. Again it plays above the trumpet
as higher voice in contrast to Part 1.
With the HIGH-LOW parameter you change this
setting and the clarinet will play the lower and the
trumpete the higher note.
Part 3
Now both instruments should play in unison.
When you press just one key, both voices are
heard.

OVERVIEW - MORE MUSIC
REGISTR ATION / SOUND SCENES
A registration represents
a piece of music;
a scene is a section of the piece.
Example:
SCENE 1 = Intro
SCENE II = Verse
SCENE III = Refrain
SCENE IV = Solo
A REGISTRATION represents a piece of music. The
sound scenes within each REGISTRATION allow
you to change the instrumentation during different sections of the music.
Imagine that you are conducting 16 musicians
with your MIDI instrument. As the bandmaster,
you must accomplish these tasks for all 16 musicians before the piece begins:
Select an instrument = sound
Select 1st - 2nd - high - low
The sound scenes determine which of these musicians is currently active.
Are you wondering why a REGISTRATION can contain up to 16 sounds? The answer lies herein:
While you are playing, just press one of the
four SCENE buttons to play the instrumentatiOUT-A

No. 1 plays first clarinet in Part 1 in the higher voice.
No. 2 plays second trumpet in Part 1 in the lower voice.
No. 3 plays first trumpet in Part 2, which is the lower
voice in this two-part harmony.
No. 4 plays second clarinet in Part 2 in the higher voice.
In Part 3, No. 1 and No. 3 play together.
Now if you consider that a MIDI instrument, such as a three-keyboard electric organ
or MIDI accordion, can play even more instruments, then the available 16 sounds are really
necessary in order to guarantee perfect harmony.

One press on the foot pedal lets you do all the
things that take a number of clicks on the devices
of other manufacturers.
The advantage of having four scenes within a
registration is that a song can be called up by its
number, yet already have a clear substructure of
scenes.
When you take more time to set up your program,
the performance is much less stressful and you
have more time for your audience and your
music.

You can also always manually press all the scene
buttons and play as you are accustomed to playing
with other devices.

Each sound board user manual lists the bank and
program number for every sound.

Sounds labeled “dont use” are placeholders for the
V3 DESKTOP operating system. The placeholders
ensure that at least one entry exists for each category, regardless of which sound board is installed.
If a “dont use” entry is selected, it will make no
sound. Nothing will be out of tune or changed; you
don’t need to concern yourself with them.

COMBINATION
REGIST stands for REGISTRATION.
COMBI stands for COMBINATION.
All the sound settings for live play are saved in
REGISTRATIONS; they can be used to recall several
settings.
Sounds are put together, or combined, in a COMBINATION.
In the current software version 1.30, you will mostly be working with the REGISTRATIONS.
In contrast to COMBI mode, you can also do the
following in a REGISTRATION:
The COMBI mode comes into play when you:
MIDI files, MP3 files and styles can be played
Use different MIDI input devices and

V3
Use the LIVE function to set and save the
volume of all sounds being played live.
Change and save the TEMPO of MIDI files
and styles.
COMBI memory slots are 99% similar to the registrations. Therefore, it is easy to change registrations into combinations and vice versa. Copy the
registration file on your PC and simply change the
file name ending from .rgi to .cmb.
Turn off individual MIDI file tracks as well as change their volume by percent.
MP3s, MIDI files and styles can only
be played back in REGISTRATION

CATEGORIES – REGIST
REGISTR ATION CATEGORIES
The registrations for the 521MB sound board
are categorized using a simple system.
The category takes its name from the folder.
You can re-number any REGISTRATION folder and
change the order in which they will appear in your
display.
You can copy any REGISTRATION folder and give it
a new number and a new name.
You can copy individual REGISTRATIONS and put
them in your own folder to quickly create a program. This allows you easy and fast access to your
songs using the [+/-] buttons in the 10-button pad.
If you are using the V3 DESKTOP for more than
one band, you can create any number of folders to
save each type of program separately (weddings,
festivals, etc.).

SOUND SCENES offer novel control of LIVE
play. Until now, you had to change SOUNDS in
order to play other SOUNDS.
Our method
1. Switch between many sounds at the same time
with one click (or one tap on the foot pedal).
2. Retain smooth transitions. You can play and
hold keys on your input instrument (i.e. piano
and strings continue to vibrate), then change the
SCENE (all the sounds change in the display), yet
these new sounds are not heard until the next keys
are played on your instrument.
3. The instrumentation of the sounds can also be
changed, just like sounds in a SCENE.

Attack determines whether the tone slowly builds
or is heard immediately at its highest level.
Release determines whether the tone oscillates at
the end. The strings of a dulcimer, for example, always fade out slowly unless they are stopped by
hand.
The RELEASE parameter is also very important for BASS played manually. You control how
long the bass string vibrates. The plug-in MONO
MODE is also critical here; see page 41. You can limit every sound to a certain section of keys on the input instrument — up to 16 split areas if necessary.

PLUG-IN DESCRIPTION
SEND VALUE
To activate this PLUG-IN with FUNCTION
X, you must first assign one of the 3 FS pedals in the
GLOBAL MENU or in the REGISTRATION.
SEND BA-PR-VO X
This plug-in serves a very special purpose.
The BANK, PROGRAM, and VOLUME settings of this
PLUG-IN are exported when Controller X is activated.
Controller X can be activated with a foot pedal.
What’s special here is that the 3 messages are only
active as long as the foot pedal is pressed. As soon
as the foot pedal is released, the original values are
active again with the next press key. Those are the
values on the first two screens in the REGISTRATION
edit mode.
In other words, you can make a temporary sound
switch with this PLUG-IN.
PLUG-IN GROUP - SEND
Example: Grand Piano > < Brass Section
In this example, the sound of the Grand Piano in
BANK 00, PROGRAM NUMBER 01 has been selected.
Now, when the foot pedal is pressed, BANK 05,
PROGRAM 061 will be sent instead. And the next
pressed note will sound with this program.
Brass Section 061, which was created for SOLO-HIT,
is selected and the volume is also increased to 110,
since the SOLO should be somewhat louder.
As soon as you release the foot pedal, the original
setting is sent again, and the next pressed note will
sound with this program.
Use this function for brief sound changes. If you
want to change instrumentation, use the sound
SCENES instead.

Octave auto transpose is very important for E-bass
and contrabass.
The four-stringed E-bass and contrabass generally
only play as low as E.
Although Sepp Mattlschweiger can play as low as C
on the baritone horn, using C as the lowest note in
the baritone horn range is not always appropriate.
To have both options, you can set different baritone horn ranges in the SCENES or switch to the
instrument using the foot pedal X so that the low C
is heard only when you press the pedal.
There are many specialized bass programs available for TRADITION exclusive 200, with detailed descriptions of how best to apply them.

VOICING
The life of any kind of music is in its instrumentation.
As described previously, select the PLUG-IN
VOICING from the SOLOIST PARAMETER group.
Take Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood,” for example.
In the first part, only the saxophones play the famous phrase in unison, and then the accent is distributed across the entire orchestra.
LOW 1st G0 appears in the display.
In classical music, there is always an instrumentation. The notes are always spread over different
ranges and different instruments.
The first violins usually play the highest note, the
viola the second and cello takes the third; the contrabass plays the bass. Asking three cello players
to create a triad with three cellos only happens in
experimental pieces of music.
LOW 1st G0
In German folk music, the available instruments or
musicians tell you what kind of instrumentation
the piece can have.
If you only have one clarinet player, then only one
clarinet can be played. The dulcimer should not
be played in two voices.
A beautiful three-voice German folk movement
could translate to the following instrumentation:
The clarinet plays the highest voice and an accordion plays the second, complementary notes
below the clarinet, but not the highest ones. This
three-voice movement will sound open and natural. With the V3 DESKTOP, we can also set the stereo position, as in the original, so that one clarinet
is heard to the left and the two accordion voices
to the right.
Keyboarders and all other musicians who play MIDI
instruments are not used to playing this way, because until now, tone generators were not able to
produce stage quality instrumentations.
V3 DESKTOP makes any kind of instrumentation
possible.
There are three entries in this parameter described separately below.
Press the button parallel to the text in the display.
LOW will blink; set the following values by turning
the data entry controller.
LOW - LOW NOTE
The lowest note being pressed is what will be
played as the lowest note.
MID - MIDDLE NOTE
This sound is only played when more than two
notes are pressed at once. Only in that moment is
there a middle note. When more than three keys
are pressed, there is more than one middle note
and more than one will be heard.
HIGH - HIGH NOTE
The highest note being pressed is what will be
played as the highest note. If you press three
notes and let go of the highest note, then the next
lower note becomes the new highest note.
Press the button parallel to the text in the display.
1st will blink; set the following values by turning
the data entry controller.
1st - first note
This sound plays as soon as the first key is played.
2nd - begins with second note
This sound plays only when the second note is
pressed.
To the above description of instrumentations,
there’s one thing to remember:
If it sounds good, it’s possible.

G 0 - Grace note value 0
Use the grace note to set the half tone range for
what is not yet the second note.
Nothing can be changed in this parameter. Applying the PLUG-IN is all you need to do for its functions to work for you.
How to apply the grace note:
When you are using the PLUG-IN VOICING, you
naturally never press two keys at the same time.
This causes the notes to “jump” up and down.
Let’s use a clarinet and trumpet duet as an example:
When you set the clarinet sound to the PLUG-IN
HIGH NOTE and the trumpet to the LOW NOTE, you
will hear a nice duet when two notes are played.
Which begs the question:
What happens when I only press one key?
For this situation there is 1st and 2nd.
If you would like both sounds to play a note in unison, set both to 1st. This occurs often and will be
the desired setting.
The PLUG-IN TIME WINDOW smoothes out this
rough sound for you.
Just set the PLUG-IN and hear the results immediately.
Of course, you need to remember that the PLUGIN can’t work magic. You should always try to press
and release the keys as evenly as possible.
But when you want a solo for one of the two voices
(trumpet solo), set the clarinet to 2nd.
The clarinet will only play if you press two keys.
When you only press one key, you will only hear
the trumpet.
What happens when I play a grace note?
In this case, we have the problem that the trumpet
plays any time one key is pressed, but with grace
notes (think of the Radetzky March) two notes are
pressed at the same time, even though it’s only a
tenth of a second. Using the G 0 parameter – grace
note – you can set a range of 1 or 2 half tones in
which the 2nd note won’t be activated.
The result for a setting of G 2 is that the grace note
in the trumpet solo is played by the trumpet, just
as it should be.
This is where the final touches for solo instrumentation are added. At the same time, the 1st,
2nd and grace note parameters are crucial in applying instrumentation.
If you didn’t have these parameters, you wouldn’t be
able to play it.
In this tenth of a second the following happens:
The grace note briefly overlaps with the second
note. In this tenth of a second two notes are active.
In our system, there is always a higher and lower
note when two notes are played, meaning the grace
note would be played by the instrument set as the
high note.
This problem is solved with the G0 function.

ARTIST Y=001
An ARTIST SOUND gives you the opportunity to
simulate an acoustic instrument best.
Everything is done in the background with a realtime analysis.
DRUM PAR AMETER
NOTE FIXED
All notes will be routed to this number.
You can limit the notes with parameter LK & HK
(Low key - High key).
We measure which key you press, whether you
have pressed the same button before, which interval you play, how fast you play, and choose on
the basis of this analysis automatically a suitable
sample.
You can recognize an ARTIST SOUND based on
designations in A Sound name.
An ARTIST SOUND is basically only monophonic to
be used as a solo instrument.
4 parameters can be adjusted in the plugin.
DRUM PAR AMETER
1 NOTE
The plug-in “1 Note” was specially developed for
LIVE percussion sounds played on the chord keys
of a MIDI accordion.
It allows you to play percussion sounds with MIDI
systems that do not have a drum channel.
What happens depends on den sound board.
The plug-in ignores all incoming notes as long as
one note is active.
1-7 REPETITION
0/1 PRO MODE on /off
Y=001 A program number that is called when
you press the foot pedal "Y" and played until the
pedal is released. If you call a prg. with function Y,
the sound is polyphon playable.
The chord key on a MIDI accordion usually sends
3 notes together. But the drum application only
needs one note; other notes would lead to unpleasant phasing effects.
REPETITION - POLYPHON
This plug-in sends with every new keystroke a
program number, starting with the number of the
sound.
So if you set this plug-in to Prg. 32, it counts when
setting value 3:
32, 33, 34, 35, 32, 33, 34, 35, 32, 33 ...
Y = 001 A program number that is called when

OVERVIEW - DATABASE
DATA MANAGEMENT
SD CARD
The V3 also sets new standards in data management.
One SD memory card contains the entire data system.
A simple copy of your data on a PC ensures that you
have a backup of all your data.
Open the SOUND folder to find all the subfolders of
what is available to you, depending on which V3SOUND
sound boards are installed.
00 BANK GM
03 Voicing123
04 Left & Bass
05 Bank GMV
In this example you can see the contents of the sound folder for
HQ260 sound board.
Open the REGIST folder to find the subfolder for the
sound board you have installed.
08 Ballad
09 Ballroom
10 Pop-Rock
11 Swing
Open this REGIST subfolder to find the individual
registration files.
001 Endless
002 Knockin
003 DontKnow
004 Angels
005 SmokEyes
The name of the folder is also the name
of the category. You can simply copy a folder
and give it your own name. Remember: The
folder name must begin with two digits.
006 KillSoft
007 Strangers
008 BDolphine
009 Adeline u.v.m.
You can copy the data individually, in a group or all of
it at once; put it in a different folder.
We recommend using up to 12 letters if you change
names, and of course the file ending .rgi should not
be erased.
The advantage of this data management system
is that you can easily share REGISTRATIONS
with friends without needing a special PC Editor
or a USB connection.
New registrations are continually being created by
V3SOUND and are available free as a download
online under support at www.v3sound.com.

FILE RENAME - RENUMBER - CREATE FOLDER
RENAME
Each file on the SD card can be changed with a conventional computer that has an SD card port. You can
also create your own folders to structure your music
program.
Please observe the following rules:
FOLDER NAME
The folder name must begin with two numbers.
This number can only be used once.
For the following characters each letter can be used
(except Ä-Ö-Ü ß and special characters) and each
number.
REGISTRATION NAME
The name of a REGISTRATION must begin with three
numbers. This number can be used only once within
the folder. For the following letters each letter may
be used (except Ä-Ö-Ü ß and special characters) and
each number.
MIDI-FILES AND MP3 FILE NAME
We recommend to use a maximum of 99 files
in a folder.
Labeled 01 to 99. Only you have the opportunity to
easily determine the order of songs in the display
with the number at the beginning.
MORE INFORMATION
The respective endings .rgi .cmb. snd should not be
deleted.
The display shows only 12 letters. While longer names are possible, but will not be displayed.
TWO BANDS
Many musicians play in different bands.
The same two songs are often needed with different
sound settings. Copy the complete folder of the
REGISTRATIONS you have prepared for the first band
and rename it.
Thus, all ready-made settings as independent copies
ready, and you need to make the changes for your
second band only in this folder.

OVERVIEW – DATABASE
SOUND CATEGORIES – GROUPS
Press the [SOUND] button to view the sound categories.
There are 32 categories assigned by the manufacturer.
In REGISTRATIONS and STYLES, the folder name is
also the category name.
If you create your own REGIST folder 77 and call it
77 Carnival, you can copy your REGISTRATION to
that folder, thus creating your own category.
The sounds are organized differently since they
can be expanded. The sound expansions can be
added later, but need to appear in their respective
categories.
All of this is handled for you with a small database.
Every sound in a category is shown in the display,
regardless of which sound board is installed, and
even if you add a sound board later.
Up to 128 files per folder are recommend.

standalone product, please note that its installation in the V3 DESKTOP housing may only be carried
out by experienced technicians.

The main board is fixed with 5 screws.
Unscrew these 5 screws and gently pull the main
board forward.
Plug in the sound board and screw it into place on the underside with two screws.

However, the procedure is done inside the housing.
Guide the main board slowly back into
position with the outputs and power supply.
Fix the main board again to the housing with five screws, and replace the top of the hous-
ing and fix it with the screws on both sides.
Copy the software package for your sound
board to your SD card.
