CHARACTERISTICS OF THE Baby b.

Congratulations on your purchase of the new Baby b. MIDI drawbar module! You can drive your Baby
b. with any MIDI instrument and thereby have access to the legendary drawbar organ sounds of the

60‘s, 70‘s and 80‘s. We have invested much time and energy in simulating as exactly as possible the
trend-setting sounds of the famous electromagnetic HAMMOND B3 and the electronic WERSI organs.
Not only did we analyse in finest detail of the sounds of these organs, but have sought the advice of
professional musicians in the development of the Baby b..

The drawbar section of the Baby b. affords complete access to the nine classical organ registers in feet
(16‘, 8‘, 5 1/3‘, 4‘, 2 2/3‘, 2‘, 1 1/3‘, 1‘.) The number of sound variations is endless.

Registers are divided into three multitimbral manuals (UPPER, LOWER, PEDAL), and can be
independantly programmed and saved. Using a MIDI capable pedal bank and a split capable MIDI
keyboard, or even two separate keyboards, you can play all three manuals simultaneously.

Your Baby b. is equipped with all the standard effects available in the original instruments as well as
numerous reverb programs that are easily accessed.

The programmable KEYCLICK function simulates the attack noise of a typical tone wheel organ.

The two-level Rotor rotor simulates exactly the complexities of a Rotor cabinet. The acceleration and
deceleration of both sets of rotating speakers have been taken into consideration in the simulation.

Other typical organ effect features such as percussion, phase-vibrato and distortion serve to enhance
sound variation possibilities for even the most ambitious organist.

All the registers and parameters of the Baby b. can be saved in 99 presets which can be accessed easily
at any time.

You can use the DUMP function to transfer and back up all your saved presets and data using MIDI.

SETTING UP AND POWERING UP

Before you can use your Baby b. it will be necessary to connect it to your MIDI equipment. Make sure
you have the cables connected properly in order to avoid error functions:

CONNECTING THE Baby b. TO A KEYBOARD

1) Connect both AUDIO OUT jacks on the Baby b. with your amplifier using two (MONO) quarter
inch cables. If you not be sending a stereo signal, use just the LEFT/MONO output jack on the Baby
b.. For an optimal Rotor sound you should connect your Baby b. in stereo.

2) Connect the MIDI out jack on your keyboard with the MAIN-IN jack on the Baby b.. Use a standard
5-connector MIDI cable. .

3) Connect the quarter inch cable of a volume pedal to the SWELL PEDAL jack, if you will be using
one. If you have a foot switch, connect it to the ROTOR slow/fast quarter inch input jack.

Note: If your MIDI master keyboard allows for connecting volume pedals or switch pedals to it, you
can connect your pedals to it instead if you desire.

5) Connect the included power supply to the POWER-IN jack of the Baby b. and plug it into your
power source. Turn on the power switch on your Baby b. as well as your MIDI and amplifier
equipment. Play some keys on your MIDI keyboard to make sure the connetions are functional.

6) If you want to use the Upper and Lower manuals of the Baby b. at the same time, you will need to
set your master keyboard to allow for an appropriate split. If you‘re not sure how to do this, see the
user‘s manual of your master keyboard or your dealer. Normally your Baby b. uses MIDI channel
1 for the upper manual, MIDI channel 2 for the lower manual, and MIDI channel 3 for the pedal
bank. It could be necessary for you to change these channel assignments in your Baby b.. See „EDIT
Key/Global Parameters.“

NOTICE! The Baby b. has a special function to allow adapting to a keyboard. Using a program change
command the Baby b. can be turned on or off per channel. See the directions in the section „Receiving
Program Change Commands“ .

Sound Features of the Baby b.

B3 SOUND

For the last 40 years and still today the HAMMOND B3 organ has been a preference for musicians.
Because of the legendary drawbar system, the B3 is still one of the most sought-after instruments. Some
of the features of the B3 are:

1. Drawbar balance of the individual foot registers.

2. The „dirty effect“ of the sine generation.

3. Key click (the characteristic click noise upon pressing or releasing keys).

4. Repitition of the foot registers starting with 2‘.

These characteristics make possible the legendary B3 sound that reaches the quality standard of pro­fessional musician when used with a ROTOR cabinet (an amplified speaker system with rotating horns
and woofers). The following is a list of features of the ROTOR cabinet:

1. The full effect of two speed vibrato.

2. The varying acceleration and decceleration of the rotating horns and woofers.

3. The presence effect of the horns and the pressure effect of the woofers in low and midrange.

4. Combination of ROTOR with phase-vibrato.

The combination of all the above features give the B3 it‘s characteristic and much-loved sound.

All of these characteristics have been recreated in perfect detail in the Baby b.. During it‘s development,
it was tested in a professional studio under the scrutinizing ear of professional musicians and compared
again and again to a „real“ HAMMOND B3 until the result was perfected.

WERSI SOUND

The same attention to detail and perfection was implemented in the creation of the WERSI organ sound,
so that the Baby b. is equipped with both of the best-known drawbar organ systems.

In order to serve the creative needs of every user, some of the sound effects and variations are
implemented in such a way as to give the musician total control of the effect, and others are automatically
set when switching from B3 mode to WERSI mode. When the Baby b. is switched from B3 mode to
WERSI mode, the following characteristics are changed:

1. The repitition in the foot registers above 2‘ is different, especially in the upper two octaves.

2. The balance in foot registers is different, which influences the sound drastically.

3. The B3‘s keyclick is switched to the „WERSI Patsch“.

4. The „Dirty effect“ in sine generation of the B3 is not applicable in WERSI mode.

18

The ROTOR features remain unchanged between the two modes.

You can choose a different organ for each manual. If you use ROTOR, its effect will be the same in
both manuals and modes with the exception of the pedal manual because it is a global effect.

Other global effects (effects common to the entire instrument) are reverb and the variants of the phase­vibrato. MIDI data that is received on the PEDAL IN port are automatically mapped to the bass manual.
In other words, all MIDI channel numbers received here are replaced with the channel number you
choose globally for the bass manual (PEDAL).

We have preprogrammed presets for you with the intent of assisting you in creating your own Organ
Setups. Have fun with your new Baby b..

MAIN VOLUME CONTROL

VOLUME

The MAIN VOLUME control sets the overall volume of your Baby b.. The level set
here is also the maximum level that can be reached when using a volume pedal (when
the pedal is pressed all the way).

FECT

MAIN REVERB EF

Note: When MIDI controller #11 (EXPRESSION) data is received via MIDI IN on the channel set for
Upper, the overall volume of the Baby b. is affected. However, when MIDI controller #7 (VOLUME)
data is received, this affects ONLY the channel to which it is assigned (UPPER, LOWER oder PE­DAL).

REVERB CONTROL

VOLUME

The Reverb Control sets the intensity of the presently selected reverb program. To
guarantee the proper mix between dry signal and reverb, reverb intensity can also be
controlled using an external swell pedal. The level that is set using this control will
be the maximum amount of reverb when the swell pedal is fully depressed.

FECT

MAIN REVERB EF

Note: The setting of this control will affect all three manuals (UPPER, LOWER & PEDAL). MIDI
Controller #91 (REVERB SEND LEVEL) data can also be sent to the upper manual MIDI channel to
change this value. The resulting setting will then affect all three manuals.

EFFECTS CONTROL

VOLUME

This control sets the level of the percussion effect. Percussion Effect and the available
variants will be discussed later in the section „PERCUSSION Button“.

MAIN REVERB EFFECT

Note: The setting of this control will affect all three manuals (UPPER, LOWER & PEDAL). MIDI
Controller #16 (EFFECT POT) data can also be sent to the upper manual MIDI channel to change this
value. The resulting setting will then affect all three manuals.

As easy as cycling through the available presets, the availability of many practical variations and drawbar
settings, as well as effects, gives the organist ample opportunity to express himself. The Baby b.
registers and saves every change in settings you make within a preset. These changes remain in effect
as long as the preset remains active. Using the STORE function, you can save your changes permanently
or copy them to another preset number.

A "preset" is a programmed group of settings that are used often and can be recalled;
eg: the position of drawbars and other settings. Your Baby b. is equipped with 99
freely programmable presets. They are preprogrammed for you at the factory with
stardardized settings. You can cycle through them using the VALUE UP/DOWN

EDIT

buttons. You see the presently selected preset (p1…P99) in your display.

Selector for Upper, Lower and Pedal

As already mentioned your Baby b. is equipped with 3 multitimbral manuals that each have their own
registers. Using an external bass pedal bank and two MIDI keyboards (or one split-capable keyboard),
it is possible to play all three manuals simultaneously. Pressing the KEYBOARD button cycles you
through the various manuals, activating them for editing (UPPER, LOWER, PEDAL). For each manual
you can change drawbar settings. One of the three LED's in the display shows you which manual is
presently active.

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

UPPER MANUAL (Upp)

The upper manual is the one that is normally used for solo registers. In the default
setting is this manual the active one.

FUNCTIONS USING MIDI NON-REGISTERED PARAMETERS

These functions apply to the different sound functions of the Baby b.. You can use the function on
each of the three midi channels. After you have set these functions, you can use the store function, to
store a preset.

You can also use this function with the CUBASE Mixermap. Please refer to chapter "Program Maps
for Cubase" in this manual.

SELECT THE DIFFERENT ORGANS

Drawbar B3/WERSI B0 63 02 62 07 26 XX XX = 0,2 0=B3, 2=WERSI
Drawbar Main/Variat B0 63 02 62 08 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Main, 1=Variat

Use this Function to switch total parameter sets between 4 complete and complex drawbar organ systems:

Ham d B3 => B3 and the MAIN
Simulates the electromagnetic "Hammond B3" organ. Selected from the palatte of offerings by Laurens
Hammond, the B3 was first introduced in 1955. The B3, with its "dirty" sound has become a legend
among jazz musicians and rock artists alike.

Hammond B3 => B3 and the VARIATION

Simulates the electromagnetic "HAMMOND H100" organ.

WERSI Spectra/Atlantis => WERSI and the MAIN

The sound of the modern electronic WERSI entertainer organ. Developed by the german Franz family, the
WERSI organ has acclaimed appreciation because of it's crystal clear sound by artists in all areas of music.
The most famous representative of the WERSI organ series is the "one-man-orchestra" Franz Lambert.

WERSI Helios/Galaxis => WERSI and the VARIATION

This Organ was developed in the 70th and one of the famous WERSI organs.The most famous
representative of this WERSI organ series was Klaus Wunderlich.

ROTOR ON - OFF

MIDI Data: B0 63 02 62 01 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Off, 1=On (Only for upper channel)

This button turns the ROTOR effect on and off. ROTOR is a simulation of the special amplifier cabinet
with mechanically rotating speakers, that was invented in the days of Tone-Wheel organs by Donald
Rotor. The rotating speakers resulted in a doppler effect, creating a complex waveform of frequency
and phase vibrati.

ROTOR SPEED SLOW/FAST

MIDI Data: B0 63 02 62 02 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Slow, 1=Fast

Use this button to adjust the rotation speed (in a virtual sense) of the rotating speakers. Two speeds are
available. You can also user the footswitch to change the speed of the rotor. The "SLOW" setting gives
you a cathedral-like, swinging effect. The "FAST" setting results in a vibrato-like sound. If you change
the speed while holding a note or chord on your keyboard, your Baby b. simulates the actual slowing
or accelleration of the rotating speakers, a very complicated process electronically.

Note: You will only hear ROTOR when the "ROTOR ON" function is on.

23

PERCUSSION ON - OFF

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 0A 26 XX XX = 0,4 0=Off, 4=On

The effect percussion affects the attack phase of the envelope curve of your organ sound. When you
press a key, a synthesized attack can be added, amplified and varied. A good organist will recognize
many different percussion variations. Your Baby b. offers you two preprogrammed percussion variants
as well as one freely programmable variant for selection. Using this MIDI Data, you can turn on or off
the percussion effect that is set in the "HARMONIC" function for the selected manual.

HARMONICS OF THE PERCUSSION

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 0B 26 XX XX = 0..2 0=2nd, 1=3rd, 2=User

Here you set the percussion variant of the presently selected preset. The preprogrammed variants are
"2nd" and "3rd" here. The setting "USER" allows you to program your own variant. To program a user­defined percussion variation, you can use the MIDI Controllers 52 to 60.

PERCUSSION: MONOPHONIC OR POLYPHONIC

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 0C 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Poly, 1= Mono (onyl for Upper Channel)

Use this function to switch your Baby b. to polyphonic percussion mode. The presently selected
percussion variant is now globally in effect for all manuals.

LENGHT OF THE PERCUSSION

MIDI DATA:B0 63 02 62 0D 26 XX XX = 0..2 0=Shrt, 1=Med, 2=Lng

With this function you set the decay time for the percussion effect for each of the three MIDI channels.
There are three settings: SHORT, MED, LONG.

SHORT: Percussion effect sounds only for a short time.

MED: Percussion effect decays at a medium rate.

LONG: The amount of time before the end of the percussion effect is long.

Note: You will only hear the percussion effect when the PERCUSSION function is active.

PERCUSSION ROUTING

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 03 26 XX XX = 0..2 0=Direct 1=Vibrato 2=Rotor

Using the PERCUSSION ROUTING you can send the percussion through three possible effects:

DIRECT: Percussion is directly returned without any effect.

VIB: Percussion is sent through Vibrato effect before it is returned.

ROTOR: Percussion is sent through ROTOR before being output. In order

for this to happen, the ROTOR effect must be active.

24

SUSTAIN OR DELAY

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 0E 26 XX XX = 0..2 0=Delay 1=Sustain 2=Both

The ENVELOPE function allows you access to the various programmable segments of the three MIDI
Channels drawbar envelope curve. The following are the possible settings:

DEFAULT: Attack, sustain and delay relationships are normal.

DELAY: The attack (amount of time after pressing a key until the level

of the tone has reached its loudest) is longer; somewhat like the
time it takes a pipe organ pipe to reach its full resonance.

SUSTAIN: This is the amount of time that a note sounds after a key has

been released; somewhat like the sustain pedal of a piano allows
the string to continue vibrating long after its key has been
released.

DELAY and SUSTAIN: Both the attack time (DELAY) and the decay time

(SUSTAIN) can be lengthened.

SELECT KEYCLICK

MIDI DATA:B0 63 02 62 0F 26 XX XX = 0..3 0=Off, 1=Soft, 2=Med, 3=Loud

Typical of electromagnetic organs such as the HAMMOND B3 is the characteristic key click noise
that was an unintentional result of dirty key switch contacts and the not totally synchronized switching
of the sinus foot register.

What was for the makers of these organs an unwanted sound, found favor among musicians who included
the "keyclick" as part of what a good organ sound should have, and it became a "feature."

Using the KEYCLICK function, you can simulate this "feature" for the presently active manual.
Repeated pressing of the button gives you access to four possible settings:

DEFAULT: No keyclick for the drawbar register is added.

SOFT: A soft, subtle keyclick is simulated for the drawbar register.

MED: For the drawbar register of the presently active manual a medium

loud keyclick is heard.

LOUD: For the drawbar register of the presently active manual a loud

keyclick is heard.

SELECT REVERB

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 10 26 XX XX = 0..5 Reverb progr. 1..6

Use this function to select the available reverb programs. There are presently six to choose from.

If you want to save a reverb program within the present preset, use the STORE button.(see: "STORE
button")

25

VIBRATO ON - OFF

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 04 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Off, 1=On

This function turns on or off one of the three available phase vibrato effect types for the drawbar section.

Your Baby b. offers you a choice of three vibrato variations: CHORUS, NORMAL, CELESTE. The
orginal signal is modulated with a phase shifted waveform to give a delay or frequency-cancellation
effect. This function turns on or off the presently selected vibrato type.

SELECT VIBRATO SPEED

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 05 26 XX XX = 0,1 0=Slow, 1=Fast

Use this function to toggle through the two available vibrato speeds.

SLOW: slow phase vibrato… a rotating wave-like effect.

Note: You will only hear vibrato if the VIBRATO function is on.

SELECT VIBRATO TYPE

MIDI DATA: B0 63 02 62 06 26 XX XX = 0..2 0=Normal, 1=Chorus, 2=Celeste

There are three available alternative vibrato types. Pressing the VIBRATO TYPE button cycles through
CHORUS, NORMAL, CELESTE.

OVERDRIVE-EFFECT

MIDI DATA: Modulation Wheel

Overdrive effect came into being by overdriving the old tube amplifiers of the ROTOR cabinet. Rock
bands in the early 70's such as Deep Purple (John Lord) brought this effect popularity.

Use the modulation wheel on your controller keyboard to simulate this overdrive. The further you turn
the wheel, the more distortion will be applied to the signal.

Be sure to check the position of your modulation wheel (or VCF control) in order to avoid
unwanted distortion.

Note: Overdrive applies to all three (UPPER, LOWER, PEDAL) manuals. MIDI Controller #1, when
received at the MIDI IN port on the MIDI channel of the UPPER MANUAL, will apply to all manuals.

26

Changing Sound Settings

The following settings remain even after turning the Baby b. off

You can make changes to your sounds remotely over MIDI and save them in the permanent memory
of your Baby b.. In order to do this, you must send the appropriate sysex message (see table below).
Otherwise these parameters cannot be changed.

Note: In order to save the changes to the permanent memory of the Baby b., you will need to send the
„STORE“ command. Otherwise, when you turn your Baby b. off, all your changes will be lost. When
you have used the STORE button, you can then only use the function „Reset to Factory Presets“.

EDIT BUTTON

Using the EDIT button brings you to the edit mode of your Baby b.. Here you can set a series of global
parameters that control the MIDI system. In addition you have the option of saving all your present
preset settings over MIDI (Bulk Dump) or loading previously saved settings.

1) Press the EDIT button.

2) Use the VALUE UP/DOWN buttons to cycle through the available parameters in order to get to
the one you want to change. The display shows you appropriate abbreviations for the active
parameters. (A description of the available parameters follows shortly.)

3) Press the EDIT button again to see the value of the present parameter or function.

4) Use the VALUE UP/DOWN buttons to change the value according to your desire.

5) Press the EDIT button again and the new value or function is saved and you are returned to the

GLOBAL PARAMETERS

Pressing the EDIT button allows you access to the following parameters and their respective values:

SELECT MIDI CHANNEL FOR UPPER

(MIDI Channel assignment for the upper manual: OFF, 1 ... 16)

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

Use this parameter to set the MIDI channel used to play the upper manual of your
Baby b.. This channel should be the same as the channel you have assigned in your
MIDI controller keyboard or the split you want to play the upper manual. The default
value is channel #1. If you want to use another channel, set it here. The setting „OFF“

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

turns the entire manual off. If you are using equipment that is capable of playing more
than one MIDI channel at a time (eg: more than one keyboard or pedal bank, split­capable keyboard), make sure you have a separate channel set for each manual.

Notice: Even using a keyboard without a split point set, you can still
use the areas UPPER and LOWER. See the section called „Split point on one MIDI channel“

SELECT MIDI CHANNEL FOR LOWER

(MIDI Channel assignment for the lower rmanual: OFF, 1 ... 16)

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

Use this parameter to set the MIDI channel used to play the lower manual of your
Baby b.. This channel should be the same as the channel you have assigned in your
MIDI controller keyboard or the split you want to play the lower manual. The default
value is channel #2. If you want to use another channel, set it here. The setting „OFF“

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

turns the entire manual off. If your MIDI keyboard can only play one channel, make
sure this manual is set to „OFF“. If you are using equipment that is capable of playing
more than one MIDI channel at a time (eg: more than one keyboard or pedal bank,
split-capable keyboard), make sure you have a separate channel set for each manual.

29

SELECT MIDI CHANNEL FOR PEDAL

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

(MIDI Channel assignment for the Bass pedal bank: OFF, 1 ... 16)
If you have access to a MIDI-capable foot pedal bank, you can set the channel here
to be used for the pedal manual of your Baby b.. The default value is channel #3. If
you want to use another channel, set it here. The setting „OFF“ turns the entire manual

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

off. If your MIDI keyboard can only play one channel, make sure this manual is set
to „OFF“. If you are using equipment that is capable of playing more than one MIDI
channel at a time (eg: more than one keyboard or pedal bank, split-capable keyboard),
make sure you have a separate channel set for each manual.

PITCHBEND RANGE

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

(The range limits for pitchbend information: 1 ... 12)
Here is where you set the maximum number of half steps that the pitch of a note can
be bent using a controller from your MIDI keyboard. The increments are half steps
and the maximum range is twelve; one octave. The default value is 12 and should be

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

set to match the value set for pitchbend range in your MIDI controller keyboard.

RECEIVE CONTROL CHANGE COMMANDS

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

(Settings: OFF or ON)
Using this parameter you can determine whether or not incoming control change
information will be processed. Control change commands contain special information
about elements that relate to control-oriented functions such as Volume level

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

(Controller #7), or drawbar settings (Controller #20 up to 29). Your Baby b. is also
capable of sending MIDI data, especially data relating to the drawbar system, and
because of this, it might be necessary for incoming controller information to be
squelched. In this case, set this command to „OFF“.

TRANSMIT CONTROL CHANGE COMMANDS

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

(Settings: OFF or ON)
If necessary, setting this function to "OFF" prohibits sending control change data from
the Baby b. to external MIDI devices (eg: drawbar movements, pedal confirmation).

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

RECEIVING PROGRAM CHANGE COMMANDS

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

(Settings: OFF, ALL, 1 to 128)
The Baby b. can react differently to incoming program change information.

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

Setting OFF

No Program Change information is processed.

Setting ALL

Program Change information will be received on the MIDI channel selected under UPPER (factory
preset 1) and presets 1 to 99 can be selected.

Setting 1 to 128

30

When a program change command is set between 1 and 128, the Baby b. will only play when the set
value is received. The advantage of this is that you can choose a particular key on your keyboard or
organ to turn on and off all three of the Baby b.‘s MIDI channels UPPER, LOWER, PEDAL
individually. Any other program change information received will not be processed or reacted to by
the manual in question.

Example:

Many keyboard have the option of switching the function of their different sound key off. This key can
be effectively used to control your Baby b.. Set your Baby b. to receive the appropriate program change
number. Now the Baby b. will only play when you press the appropriate sound key on your keyboard.
If you select another instrument on your keyboard, the Baby b. will automatically stop playing. The
manuals of your Baby b., UPPER, LOWER, PEDAL can be set individually.

SEND PROGRAM CHANGE COMMANDS

(Settings: OFF or ON)

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

In the same way as in the previous parameter, you can sqelch the transmission of
Program Change information by setting this function to "OFF" so that changing a
preset using the VALUE UP/DOWN buttons, only affects the Baby b. internally.

UPDOWN

STORE

No Program Change data is sent to the MIDI OUT port.

EDIT

SPLIT POINT ON ONE MIDI CHANNEL

Setting: ALL or 1 to 84

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

If the keyboard connected to your Baby b. has no split point, your Baby b. can have
it’s own split point.

UPDOWN

EDIT

ALL: The MIDI channel set in the area UPPER is played by the upper manual without a split point.

STORE

1 to 84: Enter the split point as MIDI key number. The MIDI channel set in the area UPPER will play
the upper manual of the Baby b. up to the MIDI key number, and after that the lower manual will be
played.

SPLIT POINT FOR THE LOWER MANUAL

Setting: ALL or 1 to 84

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

With this function the lower manual can be set to play only above the split point.
The advantage is that you can play chords with your left hand on your controller
keyboard without worrying about bass notes coming from the Baby b..

UPDOWN

EDIT

ALL: The lower manual is completely on.

STORE

1 to 84: 1 to 84: Enter the split point as MIDI key number.
The MIDI channel set in the area LOWER will play the upper manual of the Baby b. up to the MIDI
key number.

31

MIDI MERGE FUNCTIONS

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

The Baby b. is equipped with an internal MIDI Merge function which combines
incoming MIDI information from both MIDI IN ports and sends the total MIDI
information to the MIDI OUT port.

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

Example: You’re playing on your organ with your upper manual and your pedal
manual and you want to record your piece into a sequencer. If this parameter is set
to ON, all MIDI information from your keyboard including all the information
generated by your Baby b. sent out the MIDI OUT port and to a sequencer.

OFF: MIDI Merge is turned off.

ON: MIDI Merge is turned on. All incoming data on both the MAIN IN and MIDI PEDAL IN as well

as all Baby b. data (eg: drawbar movements, rotor speed control) will be combined and sent to the
MIDI OUT port. But the Baby b. will not play the incoming events.

RESET FACTORY PRESETS

PRESETS - EDIT FUNCTION

If you have altered sound data and want to get back to the factory preset
sounds, use this function. Also included in this function are rotor speed
settings, Sustain settings, percussion length or vibrato settings.

UPDOWN

EDIT

STORE

SEND MIDI DUMP

This function allows you to send a MIDI dump containing all the important parameter
settings and presets of your Baby b.. The "SYSEX Send Enable" parameter must be
set to "ON" in order to do this. Press the EDIT button to begin the bulk dump. The
progress will be shown in the display.

32

THE DRAWBARS

Using the drawbars, you can adjust the volume level of the 9 classical octave foot registers (16’, 8’, 5
1/3’, 4’, 2 2/3’, 2’, 1 3/5’,1 1/3’, 1’). This is the heart of your organ sound.

Because the timbre of all natural instruments is a synthesis of different strength overtones in the overtone
series, the drawbar organ with its fully variable sine wave drawbars is capable of imitating closely all
natural instruments. In the years of composer Johann Sebastian Bach, the organ was called "König der
Instrumente" (King of all instruments) for this reason. It is of course impossible to reproduce natural
sounds exactly using the drawbar system. The organ maintains in own personal characteristic timbre,
which gives it its identity. It is nevertheless the forefather of the modern synthesizer, which can replicate
in detail the timbre of natural instruments.
All of your drawbar settings for all of the foot registers can be saved permanently within the presently
selected preset using the "STORE" button. (see: "STORE" button.) When you change presets, the
drawbar settings of the last saved version are active. You can of course save your registrations separately
for each of the three manuals.

Note: The drawbars are also used for setting the timbre of user-defined percussion. (see: HARMONIC
Button.)

SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH A PC

Your Baby b. is equipped with the special feature of being able to update its own operating system via
MIDI. In this way it is possible for you to install the latest system software updates including newly
added functions and features without having to open the case and install chip or cards. Contact your
dealer to obtain system software updates.

In order to update your system software, you will need a PC with MIDI sequencer software. If you
don´t own the appropriate equipment, perhaps your dealer will update the software for you if you take
the Baby b. in. Or perhaps you can borrow the equipment from a friend.

1. Connect your Baby b. and PC/software as described in the section "Connecting the Baby b. to a

PC for MIDI Dumps".

2. Start your MIDI software and load the Baby b. MIDI DUMP file containing the system software

update.

3. Begin the transfer by using the appropriate system exclusivesend command in your MIDI software.
When the tranfer is finished "End" appears in the display.

4. Turn your Baby b. off and back on. The new system software is now in operation.

If an error occurs during the transfer, "ErP" appears in the display. Set your MIDI software (songpointer)
to begin the transfer, and reinitiate the transfer.

SENDING THE INTERNAL OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE TO A PC OR TO ANOTHER Baby b.

Using the MIDI OUT port you can send the Operating System software to a PC or to another Baby b..
The operating system is 250 kb.

1. Press the EDIT button on the baby b. with the new software and then the DOWN button until in
the display appears „rod“.

2. Press and hold STORE, EDIT and MODE buttons on the baby b. with the old software and while
holding them, power up your baby b.. In the display appears the software version and the message
"LOD".

3. Use the EDIT button on the baby b. with the new software to begin the transmission. When the
transmission is finished, you will see „END“ in the display of the other baby b..

SOUND PROGRAMMING USING MIDI

You can make changes to your sounds remotely over MIDI and save them in the permanent memory
of your Baby b.. In order to do this, you must send the appropriate sysex message (see table below).
Otherwise these parameters cannot be changed.

Note: In order to save the changes to the permanent memory of the Baby b., you will need to send the
„STORE“ command. Otherwise, when you turn your Baby b. off, all your changes will be lost.

Program Maps for Cubase

Most modern sequencers are equipped with a feature that allows for editing information input from a
diversity of tone generators. Usually there are graphically oriented tools such as sliders, potentiometers,
and switchboards available that can be freely programmed to meet your personal needs for editing. To
make this easier for you, we have created a mixer map template for Steinberg’s Sequencer, CUBASE,
which is available in versions for MAC, ATARI and PC.

In the sub-directery "Mixer Maps" you will find three sub directories for "PC", "MAC" and "ATARI"
computers.

Upper/Main

Settings for the Upper Manual (MIDI Channel 1) as well as general settings.

Lower/Bass

Settings for the Lower Manual and Bass Pedal.

Baby b. Program

Here you can change the settings for the Rotor ans Phase Vibrator and memorize them in the Baby b..
Furthermore it is possible to change the length of the sustain and percussion as well as routing settings.
Before you commence with programming, press the STARTbutton once in the mixer map. If you wish
to memorize the settings in the Baby b., press the STORE button in the mixer map.

For further help concerning the operation of the mixer maps please refer to your CUBASE operation
manual.
