Operation Overview
 
Read this chapter to learn the basics of navigating the X-Pro. Afterwards, read the following 
chapters to learn about the different modes of the X-Pro. The Setup Mode and Song Mode 
chapters include step-by-step guides on how to use specific functions. When appropriate, steps 
will include images from the X-Pro’s display, often with circled elements in order to direct your 
attention to the current instruction.
 
Program Mode
 
 allows you to select, play or edit instrument sounds called programs. Hundreds 
of programs are provided, and you can also create your own. See Chapter 3 for details.
 
Setup Mode
 
 lets you play multiple instrument sounds from the same group of keys, or split the 
keyboard into zones so that, for example, each different octave of the keyboard plays a different 
instrument sound. Chapter 4 provides the details.
 
Song Mode
 
 allows you to easily record and edit songs using the built in sequencer. Chapter 5 
shows you how.
Throughout these chapters you will be referred to the 
 
PC3 Musician’s Guide
 
 for additional 
information. You can download the 
 
PC3 Musician’s Guide
 
 in PDF format for free at 
www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com, click on the tab for the Downloads page, then click the PC3 
link. On the PC3 Downloads page click the User Manuals link to find a download link for the 
latest version of the guide. The X-Pro uses the same powerful internal sound engine as the PC3 
performance controller keyboard, and for the most part the X-Pro operates as the PC3 does, 
aside from a few minor differences (see 
 
Differences Between The X-Pro And The PC3
 
 below.) 
Almost all of the information in the 
 
PC3 Musician’s Guide 
 
can be applied to the X-Pro, so consult 
this guide when you are ready to learn more advanced features of the X-Pro.
