Kurzweil PC3 User Manual

5
1. Introduction
Welcome to SoundEditor! SoundEditor is a full-featured Editor/Librarian and Sound
Development tool for the Kurzweil PC3.
While the PC3 is fully editable from its front panel controls, SoundEditor greatly expands the
editing experience by displaying every PC3 parameter in a series of logical, easy-to-use
graphical interfaces. SoundEditor allows you to create, edit, organize, and store PC3
Programs, Setups, Songs and Effects.
Through a standard MIDI connection (DIN or USB), SoundEditor can receive and transmit
individual Programs, Setups or Effects, or entire banks to the PC3. All Program, Setup and
Effect parameters can be displayed and edited. Programs can be assigned to any of 20
Categories to assist in organizing, sorting and creating custom program banks. SoundEditor
can also be used as a teaching tool to learn the inner details of the factory Programs.
This manual, both a user guide and handy reference, is designed to get you up and running
quickly.
We hope you enjoy using SoundEditor for your Kurzweil PC3!
