Kurzweil PC3A7 [146/423] Continuous controllers

Setup Mode

Controllers

Any MIDI Controller can be used as the assignment for any physical controller (and for multiple

physical controllers, as well). Or in other words, any physical controller like the Mod Wheel can

be programmed to send any MIDI control signal. In addition, each controller in each setup zone

can be tweaked just like keyboard velocity (or any other Setup-mode parameter). Although

controller editing on the PC3A can be somewhat complex, it can also be very rewarding.

To get an idea of the expressive capabilities of Setup mode, explore the factory setups that come

with the PC3A.

The PC3A’s physical controllers include the following:

• The nine sliders (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) in the Assignable Controllers section

• The two Continuous Control Pedal jacks (CC Pedal 1 and CC Pedal 2)

• The optional Ribbon Controller, which you can dene as a one- or three-section controller

• The Pitch Wheel

• The Modulation Wheel (Mod Wheel)

• Keyboard aftertouch, or Mono Pressure (MPress)

• The optional Breath Controller (which is connected to Continuous Controller Pedal 2)

• The two Panel Switches above the Pitch and Mod Wheels and Program Buttons 1–8

• The three Footswitch pedal jacks (1, 2, and 3)

The following tables provide an overview of the physical controllers and their parameters.
