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PC3K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

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you

cantogglebackandforthbetweenhavingdrawbarsorhavingslidersworkonthenon‐KB3

channel.

Mutes

TheMutesparametergivesyoumanualcontroloverthebehaviorofthebuttonsabovethe

programmablesliders.There’sreallyonlyonecaseinwhichyou’dneedtoworryaboutthis

parameter:whenyouhaveasetupthatcontainsbothVASTprogramsandaKB3program,and

youwantthebuttonsto

controlKB3features.

Bydefault,thePC3KusestheMutebuttons(thebuttonsabovetheslidersonkeyboardmodels)

tocontrolthemutingandunmutingofzones—whichmeansyoudon’thavereal‐timecontrol

overanyKB3features.Changethe MutesparametertoKB3ControltousetheMutebuttonsas



real‐timeKB3controllers.Thewhitelabelingabovethebuttonsdescribestheirfunctions.

Arpeggiator Global (ArpGlobal)

WiththeArpGlobalparameter,youcanseteachzone’sArpeggiatortoactasiftheyallhavethe

sameparametersontheARPEGGIATORpage.InadditiontoOFF,thereare asmanyArpGlobal

settingsastherearezonesinthe currentsetup.Forexample,inaseven‐zonesetup,you

can

selectavalueofOFF,orArp1–7forArpGlobal.ThenumberoftheArpGlobalsettingindicates

whichzone’sArpeggiatorisbeingglobalized.Thus,inthissameseven‐zonesetup,with

ArpGlobalsettoArp4,allsevenzoneswillbehaveasspecifiedbytheARPEGGIATORpage

parametersfor

zone4.

Arpeggiator Sync (ArpSync)

SettingArpSynctoSyncModeallowsyoutoarpeggiateacrosszonesboundaries.Therearetwo

importantpointstokeepinmindwhenusingSyncMode:

•Makesurethatthearpeggiatorkeyrangesofeachzonethatyouwanttosynccoverthe

entirekeyboard,ratherthancoveringtherangeofthecurrent

zone.Ifthearpeggiator

keyrangesdonotcoincide,thenplayingkeysinseparatezoneswillsoundnodifferentfrom

havingArpSyncsettoNotinSync.

For“regular”arpeggios,makesuretheBeatsparametersettingsontheARPEGGIATORpageof

eachzonethatyouwanttosyncarethesame.

DifferentBeatsvaluesresultinirregular—but

potentiallyveryinteresting—arpeggios.
