User Interface Basics

Navigation

Navigation
The navigation section of the front panel consists of the display and the buttons surrounding it.
These navigation buttons will take you to every one of the PC3LE's programming parameters.

The Display

Your primary interface with the PC3LE is its backlit graphic display. As you press various
buttons, this fluorescent display reflects the commands you enter and the editing changes you
make.
Pages
Within each mode, the functions and parameters are organized into smaller, related groups that
appear together in the display. Each one of these groups of parameters is called a page. Each
mode has what we call an entry‐level page; it's the page that appears when you select that mode
with one of the mode buttons. Within each mode and its editor(s), the various pages are selected
with the navigation buttons. There are many pages, but there are a few features common to each
page.
This is the entry‐level page for Program mode:

The Top Line

On the top line of most pages, there's a reminder of which mode you're in and which page
you're on. Many pages display additional information in the top line, as well. The Program
mode page above, for example, shows you the current amount of MIDI transposition, the
current program's category, and the currently selected MIDI channel. The top line is almost
always "reversed"—that is, it has a white background with blue characters.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is divided into six (sometimes fewer) sets of reversed characters that serve as
labels for the six buttons directly beneath the display. These labels—and the functions of the
buttons—change depending on the currently selected page. Consequently the buttons that
select these functions are called "soft" buttons.
