play the lowest octave of the BX-3 to hear the pitches
you specify here.
Group 7: Utility
Program Mapper
This lets you change the correspondence between the BX-
3's program numbers and MIDI program numbers. Press
the [WRITE/ENTER] key and the editing screen will
appear. The BX-3's program number is shown in the left
of the display, and the MIDI program number at the right.
When you select an EX program, an “E” will be displayed
at the left of the program number.
Use the [ ] [®] keys to select the BX-3 program number,
and use the [-] [+] keys to select the MIDI program
number.

Drawbar Scan
When the BX-3 receives MIDI control changes, the
drawbar registers will be modified, so that the sound may
no longer match the physical settings of the front panel
Drawbar 1 and 2 bars.
When you execute Drawbar Scan, BX-3 will re-read the
actual physical position of the Drawbar 1 and 2 settings,
and their values will be set in the drawbar registers.
Execute this when you want the settings of Drawbar 1
and 2 to be reflected in the sound. Since the control
changes for all drawbars will be transmitted via MIDI
when Drawbar Scan is executed, this is convenient when
you want to record a BX-3 performance on your se-
quencer.
Default DB Select (Default Drawbar Select)
[PRESET, 1, 2]
This controls which settings in the DRAWBAR SELECT
section will be active when the power is turned on.

The display will allow you to specify your choice for
the upper DRAWBAR SELECT section.
