The Soft Buttons in MIDI Mode
The first three soft buttons select the three MIDI mode pages. The PrgChg soft button lets you
send a program change command on any MIDI channel. The RsetCh soft button lets you return
all channel parameters to their default values. The Panic soft button sends an All Notes Off and
an All Controllers Off messages to the PC3K and on all 16 MIDI channels.
Program Change (PrgChg)
When you press this soft button, a dialog appears that lets you send program changes out the
USB or MIDI Out port, but does not change internal programs. The Chan/Layer buttons, the Up/
Down cursor buttons, and the Chan– and Chan+ soft buttons can all be used to change the
channel on which the program change command will be sent. The Left/Right cursor buttons, the
Plus/Minus buttons, the Alpha Wheel and the Prog– and Prog+ soft buttons can all be used to
change the program change number that will be sent. When you've set the channel and the
program change number, press the Send soft button to send the program change command. Or
press the Cancel soft button if you don't want to send it. You can change the channel and the
program number as many times as you want before you press Send. You also can use the
alphanumeric pad to select a program number directly.
Reset Channels (RsetCh)
When you press this soft button, the PC3K asks if you want to reset all channels. If you press
Yes, all settings on the CHANNELS page will return to their default values. When the project's
over, you can reset the Channels to restore the audio routing to each individual program (a
value of Prog), rather than selecting each channel's page and setting the Pair parameter back to a
value of Prog. Press No if you decide not to reset the channels.
Panic
Panic sends All Notes Off and All Controllers Off messages to the PC3K and all MIDI channels.
