Riffs
Riffs are full songs or individual tracks of a song created in the PC3LE’s Song mode that you can
trigger in setup mode. Standard MIDI files may also be imported to Song mode and then used as
riffs in setups. Every zone in a setup can have it's own riff—a completely independent sequence.
You can use a setup with many riffs to trigger and stop looped sequences of different instrument
parts. Alternatively, a single riff can play multiple instrument parts. Each riff could be used as a
different song section of a backing track. For tutorials on how to configure riffs for basic uses, see
Basics Of Using Riffs on page 13-41. Also, see Riff Troubleshooting on page 13-58 for solutions to
common problems.
To use a riff, first go to Song mode and note the ID# of the song, section of song and track that
you will use for your riff. Next go to Setup mode and create a setup. On the CH/PRG page of
the Setup Editor, choose the program that you want to use for the riff on the current zone.
Program changes that are recorded in song mode will be ignored when using the song as a riff in
a setup. You can also set up the playback event filter in Song mode to ignore other types of
events as well. Once you have selected your program, press the more soft button until you get to
the RIFF1 and RIFF2 pages. The following sections describe the contents of these pages.
Note: By default, setting a zone to trigger a riff will disable the ability to play notes of that zone’s
program from the keyboard. To re-enable this ability, see Local on page 7-55.
