KB3 Channel
With this parameter, you can specify the KB3 channel in the current setup. Note that if you
assign a KB3 program to a zone not assigned to the KB3 channel, the PC3 will notify you on the
CH/PRG page.
For setups with KB3 and VAST programs, you can program a switch to toggle back and forth
between having the sliders and mute buttons function as they would with KB3 programs, and
having the sliders and mute buttons function as they would with VAST programs. In the Setup
editor, go to the COMMON page and set the Mutes parameter to KB3 Control. Now pick a
switch—say SW, which is right next to the Arp button. Go to the SWITCH page (or
corresponding editor page for whatever switch you choose), and set OnControl to KB3Mutes
(enter 169, or scroll to the end of the Controller List). Do this for all zones in the setup. Now when
you can toggle back and forth between having drawbars or having sliders work on the non-KB3
sounds.
See Chapter 6 for more information on the KB3 channel.
Riffs
Riffs are full songs or individual tracks of a song created in the PC3 sequencer that you can
trigger in setup mode. Standard MIDI files may also be imported to the sequencer and then used
as riffs in setups. Every zone in a setup can have it's own riff—a completely independent
sequence.
To use riffs, create a setup. Note the location of the song, section of song and track that you will
use for your riff. You will need to choose the program you want to use for your riff in each zone
of your setup on the CH/PRG page. Program changes that are recorded in song mode will be
ignored when using the song as a riff in a setup. You can also set up the playback event filter in
the sequence to ignore other types of events as well.
Once you have selected your program, press the more soft button until you get to the RIFF1 and
RIFF2 pages. The following sections describe the contents of these pages.
