Soft Buttons In Quick Access Mode

Use the Octav– and Octav+ soft buttons to transpose up or down by a full octave. Pressing both
Octav buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to its original setting.
Press the Info soft button to see all of the controller assignments of the current program. Scroll
down the page using the Alpha Wheel, cursor or the ‐/+ buttons.
The Xpose‐/Xpose+ buttons are a shortcut for quick transposition in semitone (half step)
increments. You can use them to transpose the entire PC3 as much as three octaves up or down.
The bottom line of the display shows the current amount of transposition (Xpose). Pressing both
Xpose buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to zero. The Xpose buttons transpose
the PC3, as well as any MIDI devices connected to the PC3's MIDI Out port. Changing the
transposition with the soft buttons also changes the Transpose setting on the Master mode MIDI
Transmit page.
The QA Editor
Use the QA Editor to customize existing QA banks. Enter the QA editor from QA mode by
pressing the Edit button.
The top line gives you the usual mode reminder, the current QA bank, and the current entry
(corresponding numeric button for the highlighted object.) The cursor highlights the object
(program or setup) that's stored in the current entry.
Selecting A Quick Access Entry To Edit
Pressing the Chan/Zone buttons scrolls through the ten entries—the number of the current
entry is displayed in the top‐right corner. As the entry number changes, the highlighted objects
at the center of the page change as well, showing you what's stored in each entry. On the page
above, for example, entry 0 is the current entry.
Selecting A Program For A Quick Access Entry
Above, the Type field tells you that the object stored at entry 0 is a program. The cursor
highlights the program's ID and name. Use the Alpha Wheel or ‐/+ buttons to scroll through the
list of programs. Press one of the Category buttons to see a list of programs in that category, or
press the All Category button to see a list of all programs.
