General MIDI Mode (GM On, GM Off)
General MIDI Mode (GM On, GM Off)
This soft button enables or disables General MIDI (GM) mode. When GM mode is o (the
default,) the buttons is labeled GM On. Press the GM On soft button to enter GM mode. The
PC3A will prompt you to conrm or cancel. When GM mode is on the buttons is labeled GM O.
Press the GM O soft button to exit GM mode. The PC3A will prompt you to conrm or cancel.
You can not access Setup Mode or Quick Access Mode while in GM mode. Aside from what is
noted in this section, all other PC3A functions operate normally while in GM mode. In GM mode,
the PC3A complies specically with the General MIDI (GM1) specication.
An Overview of General MIDI
General MIDI is a specication created by the MIDI Manufacturers Association which denes
specic features that a MIDI instrument must have (see the MMA website at www.midi.org for
more information.) Among other things, the GM specication sets a standard bank of program
names and numbers, as well as a standard drum mapping layout, so that sequences created on
any GM instrument will playback with the correct instrumentation on any other GM instrument,
no matter the manufacturer. GM has many uses, for example it makes it easy for musicians who
use MIDI les to share ideas and collaborate while using dierent sets of equipment. Also many
instrumental versions of public domain songs can be found for free on the internet as GM
compatible MIDI les. These, like all MIDI les, oer certain advantages over audio such as
small le size, the ability to edit, orchestrate, or change tempo to easily learn from the sequences,
or even convert note information to standard notation with a third party application.
Overview of General MIDI Mode
Once enabled, Program mode will display the set of 128 standard GM program names on the
right side of the screen (see below.) Aside from the dierent layout and program choice, Program
mode operates normally (see below for info on the left side of the screen.) A default GM sequence will
be loaded which sets FX sends for reverb and chorus, which are part of the GM specication.
Drum programs will also be remapped to the GM drum map. The standard PC3A programs will
not be visible until GM mode is turned o.
Replacing Default General MIDI Programs
The PC3A’s GM sounds consist of PC3A programs tailored to work well in all GM sequences, but
you can also edit or exchange these programs to suit your taste. The PC3A provides you with a
GM sound set editor which allows you to replace the PC3A’s default GM programs with any
other PC3A factory or user created program. For example, you could choose a dierent factory or
user created piano program to replace the default GM program 1, Ac Grand Piano. This way, any
GM sequence that uses GM program 1 would now use the new piano program that you selected.
Alternatively, you could even choose a dierent instrument to replace the default GM program 1,
such as PC3A program 47 Harpsichord. This way, any GM sequence that uses GM program 1

- Program mode 47
- Setup mode 47
- Setup mode lets you select play and edit setups setups consist of up to 16 separate zones split or overlapping each having its own program midi channel and control parameters setups are great for performance situations whether you re playing multiple pc3a programs or controlling additional synths connected to the pc3a s midi out port chapter 7 describes setup mode 47
- The following table lists the procedures for moving between modes and editors note that the exit button won t always take you where the table says it will it often depends on how you got where you are the table assumes that you ve entered a given editor via its corresponding mode you ll always return to program mode eventually if you press exit repeatedly 47
- The pc3a starts up in program mode where you can select play and edit programs the program mode entry level page shows the currently selected program as well as a small segment of the program list 47
- The program editor takes you to the core of the pc3a s sound editing parameters 47
- Using the modes 47
- You can play your pc3a regardless of the mode you re in the pc3a s midi response is almost always active even so there are three modes that are more performance oriented than the others these are program setup and quick access modes we ll describe each of the eight modes briefly in this section 47

- Saving and naming saving and naming 53
- The keyboard naming feature makes naming objects convenient by letting you use the keyboard or your midi controller to enter the name of the object you re modifying 53
- When set to on or adv the keys midi note numbers actually correspond to all the characters shown on page 5 3 there are also equivalents to the cursor movement insertion deletion and ok enter buttons 53

- Press the keymap soft button to call up the keymap page the parameters on this page affect sample root selection i e which samples are played on which keys 69
- The keymap page 69
- This is one of the six common dsp control parameters on the keymap page key tracking affects the interval between notes the default value of 100 cents a cent is a hundredth of a semitone gives you the normal semitone interval between each note higher values increase the interval lower values decrease it negative values will cause the pitch to decrease as you play higher notes 69
- Transpose the current keymap up as much as 127 semitones ten octaves and a perfect fifth or down as much as 128 semitones ten octaves and a minor sixth 69
- Transpose xpose 69
- When you make changes to this parameter you ll need to keep in mind that keytrk on the keymap page works in conjunction with keytrk on the pitch page therefore you ll need to check the keytrk value on both pages to see how key tracking works within a program unless you re looking for nonstandard note intervals the values of the keytrk parameters on the pitch and keymap pages should add up to 100 cents 69

- Emulating legato play if you place the alt point after the initial attack transients of the sample then you can use the alt switch to emulate legato playing in an acoustic instrument as an example set keymap to 14 flute now set the altcontrol parameter to chan st channel state now if you play notes separately the initial breathy chiff will be heard but if you play the notes legato connecting them smoothly the alt point is used and you do not hear the chiff this is because the chan st is turned on as long as any note is being held most of the pc3a s rom samples have their alt points set for purposes of legato play in most cases the difference in attacks is subtle but for some sounds like drums the difference can be more noticeable 72

- Pitch bend range up and down 90
- The common page 90
- The common page is reached by pressing the common soft button in the program editor here s where you find 12 frequently used parameters that affect the entire current program not just the current layer 90
- Use these parameters to define how much the pitch will change when you move your pitch wheel for both pitch bend range parameters positive values will cause the pitch to bend up while negative values will cause the pitch to bend down large positive values can cause samples to bend to their maximum upward pitch shift before the pitch wheel is fully up or down this will not happen when bending pitch down 90
- When off the program is polyphonic it can play up to 128 notes at a time notice that when the monophonic parameter is off the legatoplay parameter and the three portamento parameters do not appear on the common page this is because only monophonic programs can use portamento 90

- Because of its periodic nature the lfo is perfect for creating effects like vibrato cyclic variation in pitch and tremolo cyclic variation in amplitude when you re editing lfos or any control source remember that it must be assigned to control some parameter before you ll hear the effects of your edits 93
- Lfo1 is always local meaning that it s triggered with each note on event and runs independently for each note in the layer lfo2 is local by default but can be made global this is done on the common page by setting the globals parameter to on which causes lfo2 asr2 fun2 and fun4 all to become global global controls uniformly affect every note in each layer 93
- Lfos are low frequency oscillators lfos are used to automate the modulation of a parameter based on the shape and frequency of an audio waveform you ll use the lfo page to define the behavior of the two lfos available to each layer lfos are periodic repeating control sources the basic elements are the rate which defines how frequently the lfo repeats and shape which defines the waveform of the modulation signal it generates 93

- Impact 102
- Impact can boost or cut note volume by up to 24 db during the first 20 milliseconds of the attack of an envelope this feature is an easy way to get more thump from your bass and drum sounds 102
- Note for each note triggered you can only set the controller value that will scale the depth parameter of an envelope section before that section of the envelope is triggered for controllers assigned for attack the controller value used will be the last received before the note is triggered for controllers assigned for decay thecontrollervalueusedwillbethelastreceivedbeforethefinalsectionoftheattackenvelope reaches its maximum amplitude for controllers assigned for release the controller value used will be the last received before the note is released to put it another way for each envelope section you cannot change the rate of a note s envelope once that section of the envelope has been triggered 102
- On the pc3a a program can have up to 11 insert effects and 2 aux effects using up to 16 dsp units an insert is essentially just an effect that you apply to a program or layer while aux effects receive signal from all active programs aux sends note the 0 0 units in the middle of the top line of the page this figure indicates how many of the total units are being used by the highlighted insert the left hand number is the size of the insert and the right hand number is the total number of units being used by the program 102

- Shift key number shift key shkeynum shiftkey 152
- Another way to choose a key is to set shift key to last note played mode in which the last note played in the zone will set the key for example you could set the zone being used for shift key number to have a key range that covers only a few of the keyboard s lowest octaves this would allow you to play root note bass lines that change the key that shift key number plays in leaving the upper octaves of the keyboard open for use by other zones 153
- If shift key is set to last note played and no note is played the default key is c each zone can have a different shift key so you can have zones preprogrammed with the keys you want to use or have them all in the same key or just change the key in real time while you are playing 153
- Shift key settings 153
- Shift key shiftkey controller destination 177 allows the user to select the key root note of the shift pattern triggered by shift key number a shift pattern is a relative pattern based on a root note all notes triggered by a shift pattern are shifted from the root note by the value of each pattern step in half steps 153
- Value key root note 153
- When using a shift pattern with shift key number you can select the key with one or more controllers set to the shift key destination you can use a continuous controller such as a slider to cycle through keys or switches set to predetermined keys for example if you are playing a song that moves between 2 or 3 keys a couple of switches could be programmed in order to send the appropriate shift key message for each key change that way all the notes you are triggering with a shift key number controller will be in the appropriate scale you could also create a setup for a song with multiple zones each with its own pre set key and appropriate shift pattern that way for each chord change you could move a different controller that would create the correct harmony 153

- The two wheels are typical of what is found on many keyboards the left one is normally used for pitch bend and springs back to center while the right wheel is normally used as a standard mod wheel on the wheel page in the setup editor the pitch wheel has two parameters one for pushing the pitch wheel up and one for pushing it down whereas the mod wheel has one 158

- You can assign each of the pc3a s nine programmable sliders to a destination on each of the 16 zones or you can assign any combination of sliders to the same zone allowing you tremendous flexibility for example you can assign sliders a and b to modulate pitch and volume on zone 1 then assign slider c to control panning on zones 2 3 and 10 159
- If you look at the back of the instrument you will see that there are two jacks for plugging in two cc continuous control pedals and a jack labeled breath controller like the nine programmable sliders you can assign these controllers on each of the 16 zones or you can assign any combination of these controllers to the same zone 160

- And the shift limit g4 one semitone it adds that difference to the original starting note c4 and plays that note next 173
- Bipolar starts out the same way as unipolar but during downward note shifting it continues past the original pitch until it hits the shift limit in the opposite direction where it reverses again 173
- But that s above the shift limit so the pc3a calculates the difference between that 173
- Float res adds a bit of apparent randomness to the process float means that when the arpeggiator reaches the shift limit it resets but not to its original pitch as with plain reset like unipolar and bipolar it looks at the first note that would exceed the shift limit and calculates the interval between that note and the shift limit it then restarts the cycle of latched notes transposing the entire cycle by the interval it just calculated then shifting each subsequent cycle by the value of shift amount until it reaches the shift limit again 173
- Float uni uses the same concept and applies it to unipolar mode when the arpeggiator reaches the shift limit it calculates the difference between the next note and the limit and transposes the next cycle of notes down by that interval then shifts each subsequent cycle down until it reaches the original pitch float bip is similar to float uni but the downward shift limit isn t the original pitch it s the negative of the shift limit value 173
- Here s a very simple example suppose that the only note in the arpeggiator cycle is c4 shift amount is 4 a third and shift limit is 7 so notes won t get shifted above g4 the arpeggiator plays c4 then e4 the next note should be 173
- Setup mode 173
- The next note f4 is within the shift limit but the next note a4 isn t so it gets translated into d4 and so on 173
- The ribbon configuration ribcfg page the ribbon configuration ribcfg page 173
- Unipolar means that after playing up to the shift limit the arpeggiator begins shifting notes in the opposite direction until it reaches the original pitch where it reverses again to determine the next note when it reaches the shift limit the arpeggiator calculates the interval between the shift limit and what the next note would be if the shift limit weren t there it then plays the note that is the calculated interval lower than the last note before the shift limit the same thing happens in reverse when the arpeggiated notes get back down to the original pitch the following table makes this easier to visualize by showing the result of arpeggiating one note c4 in unipolar mode with shift amount set to 3 st and various values for shift limit 173
- Press delete to delete the pattern from memory press rename to rename the pattern and save pressing save gives you the option to save the pattern or rename and save to create a new shiftpatt edit an existing pattern and choose rename when saving press exit to return to the arpeggiator page when exiting the editor it will automatically give you the option to save the pattern if changes have been made for more detailed instructions on these functions see saving and naming on page 5 3 175

- Real time control of arpeggiator parameters 179
- With synctype set to stopwait if there is already something playing to sync to the current arpeggiator will wait for what is playing to stop before starting this way you can trigger the arpeggiator to start ahead of time and have it start in sync at the release stopping of the riff arpeggiator or song that you are syncing to the difference from stop is that if there is nothing playing to sync to the arpeggiator will not start this can be useful if you want to get your arpeggiator ready to sync before you start whatever you are syncing it to if the riff or song that you are syncing to is already running stopwait behaves just like stop 179
- You can have real time control over several arpeggiator parameters by assigning physical controllers to special arpeggiator controller destinations any input or entry value from a physical controller assigned to an arpeggiator controller destination overrides the programmed values for the parameters of the arpeggiator on that controller s zone the override remains in effect until you select a different setup or a different program in program mode remember each of the following controller destinations affects only the arpeggiator for the zone which your controller is assigned to 179

- First a brief review of quick access bank structure each quick access bank can store ten entries each of which can be a program or a setup each of the pc3a s 10 memory banks can store 20 quick access banks except the zeros bank which can store 75 therefore when you re in quick access mode you have access to 200 or 750 in the zeros bank programs or setups without leaving the currently selected memory bank the qa ext program change format lets you select any one of those programs or setups via midi if you select another memory bank you have a 241
- If you re controlling your pc3a from a midi device that can handle the midi controller 0 or 32 program change format you ll have the greatest flexibility if you set the progchgtype parameter to a value of extended 241
- If your pc3a is already in the memory bank you want to use you can send it single pchs from 0 to 127 to select programs within that memory bank the pc3a s response depends on the setting for the bank select parameter on the midi mode recv page if you want to change the memory bank the pc3a must receive either an mc 0 or 32 message with value 0 127 the next pch in the range 0 127 will select the correspondingly numbered program in the newly selected bank the following table of examples should help make it clear 241
- Midi mode 241
- Program change formats 241
- Qaccess 241
- Using this setting is similar to using the extended program change format but it goes one step further incoming program change commands are interpreted just as they are in the normal extended format but the resulting program change number instead of selecting a program selects a quick access bank entry you must be in quick access mode for this to work there are two advantages to using this format first it allows you to select both programs and setups using program change commands without having to switch between program and setup modes second you can remap incoming program change commands to select programs or setups with different ids this is handy if the sending unit can t send program change commands higher than 127 241
- When you re using the extended program change format then depending on the value of the bankselect parameter on the receive page in midi mode the pc3a will respond to either midi controller 0 or 32 program change commands for bank selection and standard program change commands for program changes within the current bank different values have different results as shown in the following table 241
- Depending on the qa bank entry you want to select you ll send the pc3a either a pch value 0 to 127 or a midi controller 0 or 32 message value 0 to 127 followed by a pch sending a single command will let you select from a range of 10 qa banks and select an entry within that bank see the table below to select a different range of qa banks send an mc 0 or 32 message followed by a pch 242
- Different set of 200 programs and setups at your disposal when you re using this format the pc3a will respond to mc 0 or 32 messages for selecting qa banks and to pchs for selecting entries within the current bank pchs select entries according to their chronological listing within the qa bank not according to their ids 242

- Program change formats program change formats 242
- Qaccess and midi transmission if you re in quick access mode and you re using the qaccess format for the program change type selecting qa banks or bank entries from the pc3a with the alphanumeric buttonpad the cursor buttons the alpha wheel the plus minus buttons or the chan layer buttons also sends corresponding program change commands to the pc3a s usb and midi out port the pc3a sends either an mc 0 or 32 message followed by a pch the following tables give specific examples 242
- Table 10 1 qaccess program change examples 242
- The mc 0 or 32 messages selects the range of qa banks 0s through 70s while the pch selects the bank within that range as well as the entry within that bank neither the mc 0 or 32 nor the pch selects a different memory bank in fact you can t change the memory bank via midi when using this format all program and setup selections are made within the currently selected memory bank you ll know which memory bank is selected by looking at the id of the currently selected quick access bank in the top line of the quick access mode page 242

- Intonation 251
- Like many instruments before the adaptation of equal temperament most of these intonation maps were designed to sound best in one specific key though some may have historically been in a different key all of the pc3as factory intonation maps are set to root note c by default you can change the root key of the current intonation map by using the int key parameter see the intonation key int key section below 251
- List and description of intonation maps 251
- Most modern western music uses what is known as equal temperament this means that the interval between each semitone of the 12 tone octave is precisely the same as every other semitone however many different intonation intervals have evolved over the centuries and across cultures and instruments so equal temperament will not sound appropriate for certain styles of music the pc3a supplies you with 17 different factory intonation maps which are useful for a range of different styles by changing the value for this parameter you select from among the intonation maps stored in the pc3a s memory you can further customize each map or create your own by editing a map see editing intonation maps below each of these maps defines different intervals between each of the semitones in a single octave used for all octaves by setting pitch offsets for each note in cents 251
- Scroll through the list of intonation maps and listen for the differences between semitones some of the intervals between semitones may be quite different from equal temperament but you ll notice that all notes are precisely tuned with notes that are an octave apart this is because the intonation maps set the intervals within a single octave and apply those intervals to each octave 251
