Out

Use the Out parameter to set the rear panel audio outputs used for each zone of the current
Setup. This parameter determines the output settings for the main program signal and insert
effects of each zone (for Aux effects output settings, use the Output parameter on the Setup
Mode AUX1 or AUX2 pages.)
A setting of Auto will make that zone output audio based on the settings for the program used
by that zone. Program output settings are set in the Program Editor using the Output parameter
on the top line of PROG FX page (see Output on page 2‐1 for details) or the Output parameter on
the top line of LAYER FX page (see the PC3 Musician's Guide for details.) A setting of Pri.
(primary) will output track audio to the MAIN Balanced Analog Outputs. A setting of Sec.
(secondary) will output track audio to the AUX Balanced Analog Outputs.

Input Channel

In Setup mode, an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or sequencer) will play notes of a
single program by default (if the Local Keyboard Channel parameter is set to off, see page 6‐5
for details.) The played program will be on a Zone that has a Channel parameter (on the CH/
PROG page) which matches the channel on which the external MIDI device is transmitting. (If
no Zone's Channel parameter matches, the external device will play notes of the last program
that was using that channel in Program Mode or from a previously loaded Song or Setup.)
When the Program of a Setup Zone is played this way, Setup MIDI parameters (most noticeably
key range and transposition) will not be applied. If you want these parameters applied, set the
Input Channel parameter to match the channel on which the external MIDI device is
transmitting. To play the entire Setup from an external MIDI device, see Local Keyboard Channel
(LocalKbdCh) on page 6‐5. When Local Keyboard Channel is set to something other than Off, the
Input Channel parameter has no effect and will appear in parentheses. Input Channel basically
has the same effect as Local Keyboard Channel, except you can choose to play only one or some
Setup Zones form an external device, instead of all Zones. To play more than one Zone from an
external device, set each desired Zone's Input Channel parameter to match the channel on
which the external MIDI device is transmitting. It is also possible to use the Input Channel
parameter to use multiple external devices which each play a specific Zone or Zones. For details
on controlling assignments made to the PC3's physical controllers (sliders, switches, mod wheel,
etc.) from an external MIDI device, see Continuous Controller Messages From External MIDI
Devices on page 6‐5.
