Controllers - Kurzweil PC4 SE Musician's Manual

Controllers

In Program Mode, you can use the PC4 SE physical controllers (the Knobs, Sliders, Buttons,
Wheels, Pedals, and ARPEGGIATOR section) to modify an instrument sound during a
performance to add variation or expression.
Move a controller to view the assigned parameter name and value in the display.
Note: Assigned parameter names are not visible if the Global Mode "Display" parameter is
set to List, or if the Global Mode "Show Controllers" parameter is set to No.
If you make changes to the current Program using any of the controllers, the SAVE button
lights up to indicate that a change has been made to that Program. For more information on
the SAVE button, see
VAST Program Controller Assignments
In each of the Factory VAST Programs, each Knob, Slider and Button in the front panel
CONTROL section will usually perform an assignment related to labels printed between
the Knobs and Sliders. Some controls may have different assignments per Program. When a
controller is moved, the name of the current assignment is shown in the display. Controller
assignments can be adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
KB3 Program Controller Assignments
In each of the Factory KB3 Organ Programs, the knobs and sliders in the front panel
CONTROL section behave like Organ drawbars, and the buttons control various organ
functions. The display shows "KB3" when a KB3 Program is selected. When a controller is
moved, the name of the current assignment is shown in the display. Controller assignments
can be adjusted in Program Edit Mode.
TRANSPOSE Buttons
The TRANSPOSE buttons can be used to change the tuning of notes played on the PC4 SE
keyboard in semitones (also known as half steps). This is a convenient way to change the key
of a song without learning to play it in a different key.
The current transpose amount is shown in the top line of the display. Press both
TRANSPOSE buttons simultaneously to reset the transposition to 0.
The TRANSPOSE buttons also transpose MIDI notes sent to the USB and MIDI Out ports.
