The pedals are independently programmable within each zone of every setup. Consult the PC3A
Musician’s Guide for instructions on programming.
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 dierent MIDI message. This
would enable you to use a breath controller to aect 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).
Ribbon
Plug the optional Kurzweil Ribbon Controller into the modular Ribbon jack on the rear panel.
The ribbon controller itself should rest on a at surface; it ts nicely between the keys and the
buttons and sliders on the front panel.
The ribbon is a continuous controller. You can program the ribbon controller to send MIDI
Controller messages 1–127, as well as several specialized messages. It generates values of 0–127
for whatever MIDI Controllers you assign it to send. Just press it, and slide your nger along the
ribbon to change the value of the message it’s sending.
You can congure the ribbon to have one control section that runs its entire length, or to have
three sections of equal length. It sends its highest values when you press it at the end where the
cable connects. When you congure it to have three sections, each section sends its highest values
at the end closest to the cable.
CAUTION: The modular jack is designed for connection to the Kurzweil Ribbon Controller
option only. Do not plug any other modular plugs into the Ribbon jack.
