SW Pedal 1 & 2, Arp. switch, Arp. latch sw, Switch 1-10
The parameters for SW Pedal 1 & 2, Arp. switch, Arp. latch sw, and Switch 1-10 are the same. See
and example of the Switch 1 page below.
Use SW Pedal 1 & 2 to assign parameters for footswitch pedals which can be connected to the
PC3LE via jacks in the pedals section on the rear panel labeled SW1 and SW2. The PC3LE comes
with one piano style sustain switch pedal, see Pedals on page 1-4 for information on compatible
pedals. SW Pedal 1 & 2 are often used to control sustain and sostenuto, though they can be
assigned to any other on/off switch function.
The PC3LE has 12 switches that you can assign functions to. These switches include the Arp.
switch and Arp. latch sw (located above the Pitch and Mod Wheels,) as well as the five buttons
labeled Assignable Switches, located above the assignable knobs. Each of the five buttons above
the knobs can perform the function of two separate switches; access each function by using the
shift button (to the left of these switches.) When the top switch button Shift LED is lit, the
switches access switch functions 1-5. When the bottom switch button Shift LED is lit, the
switches access switch functions 6-10. You can use a switch to control MIDI or other functions on
the PC3LE.
For both pedals or switches, you can use the Type field to assign the control to Momentary or
Toggled. If you choose SW (Momentary) in the Type field, the control will send the value for its
OnValue parameter when pressed, and the value for its OffValue parameter when released. If
you choose SW (Toggled) in the Type field, the control will alternate between sending the value
for its OnValue parameter when pressed and released, and the value for its OffValue parameter
the next time it is pressed and released. The parameters for SW (Momentary) and SW (Toggled)
behave the same aside from that distinction.
SW (Momentary) is suited for use with functions that need to turn on and off quickly for short
periods of time, like sustain or portamento. SW (Toggled) is suited for use with functions that
you will want to leave on or off for longer periods of time, such as arpeggiator on/off. See below
for parameter explanations of both switch types:
DestType
This field determines which type of control destinations will be listed in the OnControl and
OffControl fields (see below.) Choose Params if you would like to control one of the parameters
for the program on the current setup zone, such a parameter for an effect in the program's
effects chain, or a parameter for a DSP function such as a filter or LFO used by the program. The
parameters listed depend on what parameters exist for the current zone's program and effects
chain. Choose Ctrl if you would like to control a MIDI continuous controller number. By default
this MIDI continuous controller value is sent internally to the program on the controller's zone,
as well as to the USB and MIDI out ports. To change this from the default, see
Destination on page 7-8.
