MIDI Values
To change the MIDI value or controller for a parameter, press the right cursor button to
highlight the center or right column. In the MIDI value (center) column, use the Alpha Wheel or
the ‐/+ buttons to enter a MIDI value from 0‐127, or a value of None by scrolling below 0. You
can also use the alphanumeric pad followed by the Enter button to enter a MIDI value. For
parameters that are using a Switch or Footswitch as a control source, the available MIDI values
are None, Off, and On. You can enter these values with the alphanumeric pad. For a value of
None, enter ‐1 (negative 1) followed by the Enter button. For a value of Off, enter 0 (or any
number less than 64) followed by the Enter button. For a value of On, enter 127 (or any number
greater than 63) followed by the Enter button.
Important Note About Values of None
For all factory ROM programs, four of the standard parameters (Pan, Expression (program
volume,) Sustain, and Sostenuto) are always set to None by default. If you change one of these
values, either on the Parameters page in the Program Editor, or with a physical controller from
Program Mode (or the Program Editor,) the same value will be used for any other program you
select, if you select another program that uses a value of None for the same parameter. These
values remain set even if you don't save the program. This can be useful, for example, when
using an expression pedal to control program volume. By default, all factory ROM programs
have their Expression parameter set to a value of None, and Expression (program volume) by
default can be controlled by an expression pedal plugged into the CC Pedal jack (see The Control
Setup section on page 7‐69 for more about default controller settings.) With an expression pedal
plugged into the CC Pedal jack, you can control the volume of any factory ROM program, but
when you select another factory ROM program, it will have the same volume that you set with
the expression pedal in the last program. This way, the volume of your programs will stay
consistent, and can always be changed by the expression pedal. If you want a program to have a
default volume, you must set a MIDI Value other than None for the Expression parameter. For
all parameters with a MIDI Value of None, any values set with a physical control will not be
saved when saving the program. You must set the MIDI Value column for that parameter to
something other than None in order to set and save a value.
Note About KB3 Programs: For KB3 Programs, the Drawbar parameters only accept MIDI
values from 0‐8 (representing the settings for Drawbar stops,) as well as values of None.
Control Source
In the Control Source (right) column, set one of the PC3LE's physical controllers as a control
source by holding the Enter button on the alphanumeric pad and moving the desired controller.
You can also use the Alpha Wheel or the ‐/+ buttons to choose one of the PC3LE's physical
controllers as a control source, or choose a value of None if you don't want to use a physical
controller for this parameter. You can also choose a value of None by entering ‐1 with the
alphanumeric pad followed by the Enter button.
To choose an external MIDI CC number as a control source, you must enter the number of the
controller with the alphanumeric pad followed by the Enter button. Using the Alpha Wheel or
the ‐/+ buttons will bring you back to the list of the PC3LE's physical controllers. Also, the
PC3LE's physical controllers each use one of the available MIDI CC numbers, so you must
choose one of the other available CC numbers when using an external MIDI control source. See
page 7‐70 for a list of the default CC numbers that are used by the PC3LE's physical controllers.
Important Note About Selecting A Control Source:
When you change the control source for a parameter, the new control source immediately sets
its current value for the MIDI value of the current parameter. If the MIDI value of the parameter
is set to None, the new value will be set, but the MIDI Value column for the parameter will still
display None (see above for an Important Note About Values of None.) This can be troublesome, for
example, if you were to change the Control Source for the Expression parameter, you may
