Setup Mode

Press the Info soft button to see a list of all of the controller assignments for all zones of the

current setup. On the Info page, use the Alpha Wheel, cursor buttons, or - / + buttons to scroll

through the list.

When you select a setup in Setup mode, the PC3A sends a number of MIDI messages, on each of

the MIDI channels used by the setup. Some of these include: Program Change commands, MIDI

Bank Select messages, Pan and Volume messages, and entry values for physical controllers (entry

values are the values that take eect as soon as you select the setup; there are also controller exit

values, which are the values of the controllers when you leave the setup—either by selecting

another setup or by exiting Setup mode). The values of all these messages depend on the

parameters you dene in the Setup Editor.

Zone-status LEDs in Setup Mode

Take a minute to scroll through some of the factory setups. As you change setups, you’ll notice

that the LEDs in the eight Bank buttons above the programmable sliders go on and o and

change color. These LEDs indicate the status of zones 1-8 in the setup.

While you’re in Setup mode, each of the eight zone-status LEDs will always be in one of four

states:

O Empty zone—that is, a zone that has no program or MIDI channel associated with it.

For example, if you select a setup and only four status LEDs light up (regardless of

their color), the setup contains just four zones. Whenever you’re in Setup mode, the

number of lines in the info box matches the number of zone-status LEDs that are lit.

Green Active zone. As long as no other zone is soloed, an active zone plays notes— and

generates controller information, program changes, and entry/exit controller values. If

another zone is soloed, an active zone is “backgrounded”—it’s status LED remains

green, but it doesn’t play notes or generate controller information.

Orange Muted zone. Muted zones don’t play notes or generate controller information, but

they do generate program changes and entry/exit controller values.

Red Solo zone. As you might have guessed, only one zone can be soloed at a time. When a

zone is soloed, only that zone plays notes and generates controller information. Other

zones, if they’re not turned o, still generate program changes and

entry/exit controller values. If a zone is muted and then subsequently soloed, all other

zones are “backgrounded” but the soloed zone remains muted.

In performance situations, the Bank buttons provide a convenient way to temporarily change the

status of one or more zones. This can be very eective for bringing voices and/or controller

congurations into and out of your performance. The best way to get familiar with this technique

is to play with the buttons, as the next few paragraphs describe.

Select a setup (look for one with lots of active zones that cover the whole keyboard), and play a

few bars. You’ll hear sounds corresponding to each of the active zones (green LEDs). If you see

any muted zones (orange LEDS), press their corresponding Bank buttons, and they’ll become

active; conversely, if you press the Bank button of an active zone, it will become muted. Play

around a bit. Try muting all the zones, then bringing them back one by one until all the zones in

the setup are active.
