The B-3 front panel contains an LCD screen, nine buttons and four realtime controllers. Functions are grouped logically and the controls are
arranged for ease of use. Precisely because B-3 is so simple to use, you might
be tempted to skip this section. If you just can’t help yourself, at least read
the Real-time Controller information beginning page 23. There are several
“power user” features in the interface which make programming even
easier and we wouldn’t want you to miss them.
Volume Control
This control is the master volume control for all audio outputs. The Volume
Control does not affect any editing or user interface operations.
Note: For maximum dynamic range and smoothest crossfading, set this
control to full level.
Master Button
The Master menu contains parameters that affect the entire machine, not
just certain presets. An illuminated LED to the right of the button indicates
that you are in the Master menu.
Edit Button
Use the Edit menu when you want to create or modify a preset. An illuminated LED to the right of the button indicates that you are in the Edit
menu.
Control Button
The Control button is used to change the function of the Controller knobs
(see the next section). Each time you press the Control button, the Control
Mode toggles to select only one of the three Control Rows. The currently
selected Control Row is indicated by one of the three LEDs to the right of
the row’s label.
