BANK Buttons

BANK Buttons
The BANK buttons can be used to select different banks of favorite Programs and Multis. In
Program and Multi Mode, the currently selected Bank number and name are shown on the
display. To select Bank 1, press both BANK buttons simultaneously.

Controllers

In Multi 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.
When a controller is moved, the controller assignment and value for each Zone/MIDI
Channel is briefly displayed below the Multi ID and name. Controllers can also be disabled
or reassigned for each Zone in Multi Edit Mode. Because of this, controllers may function
differently for each Zone in each Multi.
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.
CONTROL Section
In Factory Multis, the 5 CONTROL section buttons and sliders are often assigned to Zone
On/Off and Zone Volume, or various effects and synthesis parameters. Move a controller to
view the assigned parameter name and value for each Zone/MIDI Channel in the display.
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.
PITCH WHEEL
Use the PITCH WHEEL to perform pitch bends. The Bend Up and Bend Down amount
can be adjusted for each Zone in Multi Edit Mode.
