KB3 Programs

KB3 (organ) programs differ from VAST programs in that they don't have layers. Instead they
rely on oscillators that mimic the tone wheels used in many popular organs. Consequently, the
info box shows only the waveform used in the program.
Note: Press the KB3 bank button to access KB3 programs in Program mode. While a KB3 program is
selected, the bank buttons function as KB3 specific controls (listed below each bank button, see the PC3
Musician's Guide, Program Mode Chapter for details.) To exit KB3 mode and return the bank buttons to
their normal function, press the KB3 bank button or use one of the program selection methods (see
Selecting Programs, above) to choose a V AST program.
Quick Access
A really convenient way to select programs and setups is to use Quick Access mode, where you
select a Quick Access bank from a list of factory preset or user-programmed banks. Each bank
contains ten memory slots, or entries, where you can store any combination of programs or
setups. While you're in Quick Access mode, you can select any program or setup in the bank
with buttons 0 through 9 or the cursor keys.
The X-Pro comes with a few Quick Access banks already programmed so you can get an idea of
how they work. You'll probably create your own Quick Access banks to help you select
programs and setups with a minimum of searching. Press the Quick Access mode button to the
left of the display. Its LED lights, to tell you you're in Quick Access mode.
The top line of the display tells you which Quick Access bank is selected. Use the Chan/Layer
buttons (to the left of the display) to scroll through the banks. The names of each of the ten
entries in the bank are listed in the center of the display. Many of their names will be
abbreviated. The currently selected entry's full name is shown near the bottom of the display.
The amount of transposition is displayed to the left of the entry name. If the current entry is a
program, you'll see the current keyboard (MIDI) channel displayed to the right of the entry's
name. If it's a setup, you'll see the word Setup.
The entries on the Quick Access page are arranged to correspond to the layout of the numeric
buttons on the alphanumeric pad.
When you're ready to create your own Quick Access banks, see the PC3 Musician's Guide,
Chapter 8 to learn about the Quick Access Editor.
