Tune
AdjustingthevalueofthisparametertuneseveryprograminthePC3bytheamountyou
specify.Tuningcanbeadjustedupordown100cents(onesemitone)inone‐centincrements.
Thisparameterisusefulforgettingintunewithrecordingsandacousticinstruments.Adjusting

doesnotchangethesettingsonthePITCHpageofindividual
programs,butwillbeaddedtoanyadjustmentsyoumakethere.Mastermodetuning

Transpose
LiketheTuneparameterabove,TransposeaffectseveryPC3program,butnotthosenotessent
totheMIDIOutport.YoucanadjusttheMIDItranspositionsenttotheMIDIOutportonthe
TRANSMITpageinMIDImode.
FX Mode
WithFXModesettoPerformance,thePC3minimizesdisruptionofexistingeffectswhen
changingprograms,andentryvalueswillnotdisruptsustainednoteswhenchangingprograms

ModeissettoPerformanceasadefault,withsomeexceptions.InSongmode,Multitrackmode
isalwaysused,despitehowthisparameterissetinMasterMode.Also,theFXModeparameter
doesnotaffectSetupModebecauseitusesitsown
FXmode.
Drum Remap
ThisparameterwillremapallDrumprogramstoconformtotheGeneralMIDI(GM)drummap,
astandarddrummapusedinmanykeyboardsandsynthesizers.TheGMdrummapisn’t
optimallyintuitiveintermsofplayability,sobydefaultthePC3usesauniquekeymapthatis
moreintuitiveand
lendsbettertoperformance.However,theGMdrummapisso
commonplacethatmanyplayersfeelmorecomfortableplayingdrumprogramswiththeGM
drummap.Becauseofthis,thePC3isdesignedsuchthatyoucanremapdrumprogramstothe
GMdrummap.

ID Entry
Globalmeansthatanyentryyoumakefromthealphanumerickeypadwillselecttheobject
indicated,regardlessofthebankitisin.Forexample,inprogrammodetype“36”ofthe
alphanumerickeypadtoselectprogram36.
IfNumericEntryissettoBank,yourselectionwillbelimitedto
thecurrentlyselectedbank.For
instance,inProgrammode,ifyouareinOrchestrabankandyouenter“65”,thenthecurrent
programbecomesprogram65oftheOrchestrabank,viz.449HornSectLayer.
Setup Controllers (SetupCtls)
