User Interface Basics
This chapter will show you how to get around the front panel of your PC3LE. Your interactions
can be divided into three primary operations: mode selection, navigation, and data entry. There
is also an assignable control section.
Mode Selection
The PC3LE is always in one of six primary operating modes. Select a mode by pressing one of
the mode buttons — they’re to the left of the display. Each mode button has an LED that lights to
indicate the current mode. Only one mode can be selected at a time.
Program mode Select and play programs, and modify them with the Program Editor.
Setup mode Select and play setups (16 keyboard zones with independent MIDI
channel, program and control assignments), and modify them with the
Setup Editor.
Quick Access mode Select from a list of preset banks, each containing a list of ten programs
and/or setups that can be viewed in the display for easy selection.
Modify the preset banks and create your own with the Quick Access
Editor.
Master mode Define performance and control characteristics for the entire PC3LE, and
how your PC3LE sends and receives MIDI information.
Song mode Use the PC3LE’s sequencer to record and play back your keyboard
performance, play Type 0 and Type 1 MIDI sequences, and record multi-
timbral sequences received via MIDI.
Storage mode Interface with the PC3LE’s USB ports to load and save programs, setups,
and transfer software updates.
