This soundfont is carefully prepared and all parameters are written separately. With this soundfont you will make beautiful compositions and listen to organ works in high quality.
The B3 Org, as you all know, is one of the most beautiful semi-electronic organs created by the former Hammond company. This beautiful instrument has been created for you to use with Musescore (or another note-writing program that can play soundfont).
During the preparation stage, dozens of resources, from service manuals to university research, were examined one by one and carefully. And believe it or not: this sound-font was created entirely from the beginning eight times!.
This is not a "sampled" sound font. Samples are composed of sine waves generated by a special method. This is a sound-font created by an additive synthesis method.
This soundfont includes Original Presets and several additional patches. These are:
+-+----------+-------+----------+ |#|Name |Upr&Lwr| Params | +-+----------+-------+----------+ |1|Theater | Yes | Original | |2|Liturgical| Yes | Original | |3|Percussive| Yes | Original | |4|Extra | Yes | HedSound | |5|Pedal | No | HedSound | |6|Jazz | Yes | Original | |7|Single | Yes | HedSound | +-+----------+-------+----------+
What Upr&Lwr means: It includes different patches for the Upper and Lower keyboard.
Tip: Using these "#" numbers, you can easily access the titles in the mixer of the Musescore software.
Differences from original patches:
Original B3 patches are prepared in different dynamics such as piano, pianissimo, forte. In my experiments, it was noticed that it was necessary to constantly put dynamics on the staff to adjust the sound balance. Since it was found to be a feature that prevents creativity, the attenuations of all patches was balanced as much as possible.And unfortunately, balancing between patches is not an easy task. Because it was noticed that the timbre of the original sound changed when the option to simply reduce the parameters was applied. Therefore, a special method was used to preserve the original timbre.
Example: Let that the drawbar parameters are 842. If you use 731 to decrease a level, the error occurs. The exact equivalent should be 742. And at first glance it may seem impossible to reduce the value of 842 twice, because the third parameter may be problematic (620?), but there is no problem here, the real equivalent of this is only 632.
Reason: The parameters used to create the sound level must be specially calculated to maintain the original balance each time the level is lowered. For example: to lower a level, you must multiply the given value by 0.875. And if we multiply our values by 0.875, we get 7 for 8; 3.5 for 4; and 1.75 for 2. If we round them to the nearest numbers, we get 742.
Likewise, it will be necessary to apply the same method when increasing parameters. If you don't have a table that shows the multiplication/division of these parameters, it can be very tiring and time consuming to apply.
PS: The same method has been used extensively when creating all chorus patches.
Demos
Of course, it's not possible to fully understand the instrument's sound by reading what is written here. You also need to listen to it to understand how it sounds. Here are the demos:
All demos were performed with HedOrgan-B3-Presets-V84d.sf3 soundfont.

Some Additional Information:
For Musescore software: All dynamics are independent of other staves. (if added with HedSound-B3-Vxx-instruments.xml or HedSound-B3Organ template). In other words: a dynamic that you put in the upper (top) staff, only affects upper (top) staff.
Effects:
Vibrato1: Orchestral Instrument vibrato
Vibrato2: Medium (Organ) vibrato
Vibrato3: Opera singer's vibrato
Chorus1: Instrumental accompaniment chorus
Chorus2: Small instrument group chorus (example: Four instrument's unison)
Chorus3: Choral Chorus (Ensemble chorus)
Vibrato and Chorus patches are re-implemented.
Leslie simulation: This effect is embedded in jazz patches and not applicable to other patches.
This soundfont, by its nature, does not conform to General-MIDI or any other standard. Because it contains the sounds of a particular instrument and mixtures of these sounds.
A ready organ template file is "B3_Organ_Template.mscz"
When you press the "Load from score" button in the "Fluid" tab of the "Synthesizer", the presets and soundfont will be loaded automatically.
When you press the "Load from score" button in the "Fluid" tab of the "Synthesizer", the presets and soundfont will be loaded automatically.
Templates:
The template file provided with the package are prepared for easy use.
You will copy these file to the templates directory of musescore in your user directory.
After creating a new file from the template, press the "Load from score" button in the Synthesizer's Fluid'tab, and the presets and soundfont settings will be loaded automatically.
It is a good start to examine the samples before use.
Get to know and explore the soundfont. This will give you ease of use.
I wish you good use.
