Basics Of Using Riffs
10. Next, we will stop the riff from being triggered by the keyboard, so that we can play the setup again
as it originally was. Press the RIFF2 soft button at the bottom of the page to move to the RIFF2
page.
11. On the RIFF2 page for zone 5 we will change key ranges for the Trigger and Release fields. By
default when you create a new zone its riff is set to be triggered and released by every key on the
keyboard. Lets change the Trigger and Release key ranges so that the riff is only triggered and
released by the key C -1 (a very low key that likely wont be used anyway.) To do this, use the cursor
buttons to select G9 in the right most Trigger field, and change it to C -1 by pressing 0 and then
pressing the Enter button on the alphanumeric pad. Next, use the cursor buttons to select G9 in the
right most Release field, and change it to C -1 by pressing 0 and then pressing the Enter button on
the alphanumeric pad (see below.) You can also use the Alpha Wheel and scroll all the way counter-
clockwise to reach C -1.
Why did we set the riff trigger and release key ranges to C -1? C -1 is the lowest note possible on
the PC3LE, which you will probably never play unless you press the Octave- soft button a few
times (from the Setup mode main page,) and even then you would likely not want to play that
note since most programs do not sound good at such a low octave. Similarly, we could have set
both ranges to only G9, the PC3LE’s highest note, which is not likely to be used either.
12. Next we will set a pad to trigger the horn riff. Press the more soft button in the bottom left corner of
the display to find the CTRLS soft button. Press the CTRLS soft button. This will bring you to the
Controllers page for zone 5 (see below.)
