Setup Mode
The Control Setup
Press the Info soft button to see a list of all of the controller assignments for all zones of the
current setup. On the Info page, use the Alpha Wheel, cursor buttons, or ‐ / + buttons to scroll
through the list.
When you select a setup in Setup mode, the PC3K sends a number of MIDI messages, on each of
the MIDI channels used by the setup. Some of these include: Program Change commands, MIDI
Bank Select messages, Pan and Volume messages, and entry values for physical controllers
(entry values are the values that take effect as soon as you select the setup; there are also
controller exit values, which are the values of the controllers when you leave the setup—either
by selecting another setup or by exiting Setup mode). The values of all these messages depend
on the parameters you define in the Setup Editor.
The Control Setup
In addition to zone splitting and layering, Setup mode is a powerful way to take advantage of
the PC3K's programmable sliders, ribbon controllers, and assignable buttons. In order to
provide some of the same flexibility for Program mode, we created the control setup, which
defines the controller assignments for programs in Program mode.
The default control setup is 126 Internal Voices, but you can choose any control setup you want.
To do this, go to the MIDI‐mode TRANSMIT page and use any normal data entry method to
change the ControlSetup parameter. When you reenter Program mode, all programs will now
respond to many of the controller assignments defined in Zone 1 of the control setup (Zones 2–
16 are not relevant in Program mode, because a program can occupy only one MIDI channel).
Once you save changes to the control setup, those changes will affect all programs when you are
in Program mode. You may want to program several different control setups, and switch among
them for different applications.
