The COMMON Page

The COMMON page contains parameters that affect every zone in the current setup.

Tempo

When Clock Source is set to Internal, the Tempo parameter sets the PC3LE’s system tempo. The

Tempo parameter values are in units of BPM (beats per minute). This controls the tempo of any

arpeggiators used in the current setup, any riffs that have their BPM parameter set to Setup, any

tempo based effects, and the currently selected song in Song mode. You can also set the tempo

using the tap tempo button (located on the front panel below the Mode buttons.) Tap the Tap

Tempo button on beat for a measure or two at the desired tempo to set a tempo. This also brings

up the Tap Tempo page (see

Tap Tempo Button

on page 7-4.)

Clock Source

With the Clock Source parameter, you can set the PC3LE—within the current setup—to generate

its own tempo by setting Clock Source to Internal, or you can set the PC3LE to sync up with the

tempo from another device—assuming the device is sending MIDI clock data to the PC3LE via

MIDI or USB—by setting Clock Source to External. When Clock Source is set to External, the

Tempo parameter disappears from the display.

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.
