The Program Mode Page
The top line of the Program mode main page shows your mode location, the present MIDI
transposition, and the current MIDI channel.
The info box at the left of the Program mode page gives you information about the current
program’s controller assignments. Changing the value of a control (moving a knob or pressing a
switch) will display the name of the last moved controller along with its parameter assignment.
Selecting Programs
When you are in Program mode, there are two basic ways to select a PC3LE program:
• Press a Category button to list all programs in that category, then use the Alpha Wheel, -/+
buttons, or cursor up/down buttons to scroll through the list. The Category buttons are on
the front panel, to the right of the display. Press the All category to list programs in all
categories.
• Press the Shift category button and use the numbered category buttons to enter a specific
program ID number, then press the Enter category button. Press the Shift category button
again to return the category buttons to their primary function.
A list of PC3LE factory programs and other objects (as well as their ID#s) can be found at
kurzweil.com. When not in General MIDI mode, default programs used for GM mode can be
accessed starting at ID# 4096 (see General MIDI on page 9-9 for details.)
The PC3LE has various settings for responding to MIDI Program Change commands from
external sources. These are explained in Chapter 9, so we won’t go into them here. You should
be able to change programs by sending Program Change commands from your MIDI controller.
Easy Audition
Any time you want to hear what a program sounds like, highlight the program’s name (while in
Program mode) then press the Play/Pause button to play a brief sample. The Demo Button
parameter on the Master Mode 2 page must be on for Easy Audition to work; the parameter is
on by default. Master mode is described in Chapter 9.
Picking Favorite Programs
You can select a favorite program within each category that will be automatically recalled when
you choose that category. To do this, first select a category by pressing one of the Category
buttons while in Program mode (make sure the category Shift button is not lit.) Next, find your
favorite program in that category by using the Alpha wheel, -/+ buttons, or up/down cursor
buttons. (Alternatively, you can find the program by pressing the category Shift button and
using the numbered category buttons to enter the program’s ID number, then press the category
