The Operating Modes
Using the Modes
4-3
If you’re using a different MIDI controller, you can make use of Setup mode even if your MIDI
controller can transmit on only one MIDI channel at a time. To do this, go to the MIDI Receive
page in Master mode (by pressing the RECV soft button while in Master mode), and set the
Local Keyboard Channel parameter to a value that matches the transmit channel of your MIDI
controller. When you select Setup mode, the PC3LE will interpret incoming MIDI information
according to the settings for the currently selected setup. See the discussion of the Local
Keyboard Channel parameter in Chapter 10 for details.
Quick Access Mode
Another feature for live performance, Quick Access mode enables you to combine programs and
setups into banks of ten entries. Each of these programs or setups can be selected with a single
alphanumeric button. Different banks are selected with the Chan/Zone buttons. There’s a
selection of factory preset banks, and you can use the Quick Access Editor to create your own
banks and store them in the PC3LE’s memory. There’s a full description in Chapter 8.
You can also use Quick Access banks as a way to remap incoming or outgoing Program Change
commands.
Master Mode
Master mode, described in Chapter 9, contains the parameters that control the entire PC3LE.
Global settings for tuning, transposition, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and other
preferences are adjusted here. You can also get to General MIDI Mode from here.
Song Mode
Song mode enables you to play sequences (songs) stored in the PC3LE’s memory, and provides
a fully featured sequencer that you can use to record songs. You can also record multi-timbrally
via MIDI, or load standard MIDI files (Type 0 or 1). The Song Editor also enables you to modify
existing sequences stored in memory. See Chapter 10.
Storage Mode
Storage mode lets you load and save programs and other objects using a USB device. See
Chapter 11.
