Pedals
Plug your switch or continuous pedals into the corresponding jacks on the PC3A’s rear panel. We
recommend using the Kurzweil pedals described on page 1-5, but you can use almost any switch
or continuous pedal, as long as it adheres to the following specications (as most pedals do):
Switch pedals
1

4
-inch tip-sleeve plug
Continuous pedals 10-kOhm linear-taper potentiometer,
1
/
4
-inch tip-ring-sleeve plug
with the wiper connected to the tip.
If you use a third-party (non-Kurzweil) switch pedal, make sure it’s connected before you turn
on your PC3A. This ensures that the pedal will work properly (it might function backward—o
when it’s down and on when it’s up—if you turn on your PC3A before plugging in the pedal).
Similarly, don’t press any of your switch pedals while powering up, because the PC3A veries
each pedal’s orientation during power up. If you’re pressing a pedal, you might cause it to work
backward.
The pedals are independently programmable within each zone of every setup. Here are the
default settings for the ve pedals you can use with the PC3A:
Switch Pedal 1 Controller 64 (Sustain)
Switch Pedal 2 Controller 66 (Sostenuto)
Switch Pedal 3 Controller 67 (Soft)
Continuous Control Pedal 1 Controller 11 (Expression / Volume)
Continuous Control Pedal 2 Controller 4 (Foot Pedal) producesa“wah”eectinmanysetups
Breath
The 3.5mm jack labeled Breath accepts a standard breath controller, which sends standard MIDI
Breath (MIDI 2) messages. The PC3A’s preset programs and setups don’t respond to breath, but if
you have other instruments that do respond to Breath, you can control them from the PC3A via
MIDI.
You can also program the PC3A so that the breath controller sends a dierent MIDI message. This
would enable you to use a breath controller to aect the PC3A, but then other instruments
receiving MIDI from the PC3A would no longer respond to the PC3A’s breath controller (unless
you also programmed them to receive the same MIDI Controller that the PC3A’s breath
controller is sending).
