Subject:Re: CX3 Bass pedals and bassline sound??

Hi Adam,

I'm not using pedals with my BX-3 (same engine), but as long as you understand that you are sharing notes with the Lower manual (split), yes, it's possible. However, you may find that 82 8000 000 (or similar) won't give quite the same edge, because the pedal voices on a console Hammond aren't tibias -- they are complex tones. Adding more key click might help, as would going to something like 85 8840 000 for the lower manual. YMMV is very apropos on this one!

Regards,

-BW
