Stop
UsetheStopparametertospecifytheriffstoppoint.LiketheStartparameter,thetimeformat
forStopisBar:Beat:Tick.Barcanbesettoanybarinthesequence,andBeatcanbesettoany
beatinthatbar(beatrangeisdependent
ontimesignature.)Tickcanbesetfrom0to959.Refer
toTable 7‐6forTickvalues.
ThePC3KrestrictstheselectablevaluesfortheStopparametersuchthatthecurrentriffisat
leastonebeatlong.
Transpose/Root Note
WiththeTransposeparametersettoOn,theriffwilltranspose
tothevaluesetintheRootNote
parameter.So,ifyouhaveariffwhoserootnoteisC4,youcansetanewrootnoteinthesetup
sothattheriffwillplayinthecorrectrange.Inthisscenario,ifyouwanttotriggeryourriff
from
C1butitwasrecordedatC4,youwouldsetTransposetoOnandRootNotetoC1.Yourriffwill
nowplayinthedesiredrangewhentriggeredfromtheC1key,whichnowcorrespondstothe
noteC4.
SrcTrack (Source Track)
TheSrcTrack parameterdeterminesthesourcetrackofthe
riff(fromtheriff’soriginalsequence
inSongmode.)AlongwiththeStartandStopparameters,SrcTrackallowsyoutouseasingle
sequenceasariffformanyzones,andtoselectadifferentsourcetrackandStart/Stopparameter
settingforeachzonetoavoidhavingtocreateaspecial
sequenceforeachriff.
Tocreateasetupwithmultipleriffseachplayingasingleinstrumentpart,setasingletrackfor
theSrcTrackparameter,andthattrackofthesequencewillplaywiththeprogramonthecurrent
zone.Repeattheprocessonotherzonesusingthesamesong
fortheriff,butusingadifferent
SrcTrackforeachzone.
Tocreateasetupwithasingleriffthatplaysmultipleinstrumentparts,setSrcTracktoALL.
EachtrackofthesequencewillplayitstrackthroughthezoneswhichhavecorrespondingMIDI
channels(MIDIchannelsaresetforeach
zoneonTheChannel/Program(CH/PROG)Pageofthe

Re Channel
UsetheReChannelparameterwhenthecurrentzone’sMIDIchannelandthechannelthatthe
riffwasrecordedonarenotthesame.WhenReChannelissettoOn,thetrackselectedforthe
SrcTrackparameter
willplaythroughtheMIDIchannelofthecurrentzone.Forexample,ifyou
wanttouseariffonzone2/MIDIchannel2andtheriffwasrecordedontrack4/MIDIchannel4,
youwillneedtoturnReChannelon.Ifyouweretodothisandkeep
ReChannelsettoOff,the
riffwouldplayusingtheprogramfromzone4insteadofzone2.
WhenReChannelissettoOnandALLisselectedforSrcTrack,allofthetracksofthesequence
willplaythroughtheMIDIchannelofthecurrentzone.
Note:Track
numbersdon’thavetomatchMIDIchannelnumbersinSongmode(thoughtheydo
bydefault.)AsongthatusesnondefaultMIDIchannelsforitstrackscancausesomeconfusion
whenusingitasariff.Forexample,usingariffonzone1,youcouldsettheriff’sSrcTrack

parameterto1,andexpecttherifftoplayonzone1(ifitissettoMIDIchannel1.)ButinSong
mode,ifthesongyouareusingfortheriffhastrack1settoaMIDIchannelotherthan1,theriff
willplayonthe
zonethathasthattrack’smatchingMIDIchannel.Inthiscase,setReChannelto
Oninorderfortherifftoplaythroughtheprogramoftheriff’szone.
