The Chan/Zone Buttons
To the left of the display are two buttons labeled Chan/Zone. Their function depends on the
current mode. In Program mode, for example, they shift through the MIDI channels, showing
the program assigned to each channel. This changes the MIDI channel the PC3LE uses
internally, as well as the channel you’re using to send information to other synths connected to
the PC3LE’s MIDI Out or USB port (MIDI slaves). Changing the current MIDI channel also
changes the corresponding setting on the Master Mode MIDI Transmit page. When you press
both Chan/Zone buttons at the same time on the Program mode main page you will be returned
to Channel 1. Check out the chart on page 3-11 for more shortcuts you can make with double
button presses.
In the Setup Editor, the Chan/Zone buttons scroll through the zones in the current setup. In
Quick Access mode, they scroll through the Quick Access banks, and in Song mode they scroll
through recording tracks.
We’ll let you know, when applicable, what the Chan/Zone buttons do.
The Edit Button
The Edit button (located to the left of the display) activates each of the PC3LE’s editors. Pressing
the Edit button tells the PC3LE that you want to change some aspect of the object marked by the
cursor. For example, when a program is selected and you press Edit, you enter the Program
Editor. If a setup is selected, you enter the Setup Editor.
There are editors accessible from every mode except Master and Storage mode. To enter an
editor, choose one of the modes (mode selection), and press Edit. An editing page for that mode
will appear. You can then select parameters (navigation) and change their values (data entry). If
the value of the selected parameter has its own editing page (like when selecting programs in
Setup mode,) pressing the Edit button will take you to that page.
The Exit Button
Press Exit (located to the right of the display) to leave the current editor. If you’ve changed the
value of any parameter while in that editor, the PC3LE will ask you whether you want to save
your changes before you can leave the editor. See Chapter 5 for information on saving and
naming. The Exit button also takes you to Program mode if you’re on the entry level page of one
of the other modes. If at some point you can’t seem to get where you want to go, press Exit one
or more times to return to Program mode, then try again.
