The Program Editor
You can use the Program Editor to further modify the PC3LE’s factory preset ROM sounds. To 
enter the Program Editor, start in Program mode by pressing the Program mode button on the 
front panel, then press the Edit button on the front panel. The EditProg:PARAMETERS page will 
appear:
The PARAMETERS Page
Press the PARAMS soft button to display the PARAMETERS page (see above.) The 
PARAMETERS page allows you to access all of the controlable parameters for the current 
program. All programs have at least these five basic parameters: Pan, Expression (program 
volume,) Aux FX1 Wet/Dry, Sustain, and Sostenuto. The parameters page will also display any 
available VAST synthesis parameters for the current program and parameters for the current 
program’s insert and aux effects (if effects are in use.) All available parameters are listed. For 
each parameter you can set a MIDI value as well as a control source. 
The left column lists the available parameters, the center column shows the MIDI value for each 
parameter, and the right column shows the control source (either a physical controller or MIDI 
CC number) which that parameter is controlled by. For each parameter selected, the right top 
line of the page displays what type of parameter it is. The three parameter types are Prog (either 
one of the 5 basic parameters, or a parameter specific to the program,) FXAux1 (a parameter for 
the program’s current Aux FX chain,) or FXInsert1 (a parameter for the program’s current Insert 
FX chain. Drum programs may have more than 1 insert effects chain.)
If you stop hearing sound from programs on one MIDI channel, or if programs only play 
from the left or right speaker for a MIDI channel, it may be because of changes you’ve made 
on the Parameters page, even if you haven’t saved a program. See the notes below for 
explanations and solutions.
Parameters
Use the cursor buttons to select a parameter in the left column, and use the Alpha Wheel, -/+ 
buttons, or cursor up/down buttons to scroll through parameters in that column. All programs 
have at least these five basic parameters: Pan, Expression (program volume,) Aux FX1 Wet/Dry, 
Sustain, and Sostenuto. The parameters column will also display any available VAST synthesis 
parameters for the current program and parameters for the current program’s insert and aux 
effects (if effects are in use.). All available parameters are listed, see A Note About Processor Power 
Allocation on page 6-13 for details on parameters labeled Not Available.
