Master Mode
MAIN
Tune
Adjusting the value of this parameter tunes every program in the PC3K by the amount you
specify. Tuning can be adjusted up or down 100 cents (one semitone) in one‐cent increments.
This parameter is useful for getting in tune with recordings and acoustic instruments. Adjusting
the tuning in Master mode does not change the settings on the PITCH page of individual
programs, but will be added to any adjustments you make there. Master mode tuning
adjustments affect only the audio output of PC3K program notes, and not notes sent via MIDI.
Transpose
Like the Tune parameter above, Transpose affects every PC3K program, but not those notes sent
to the MIDI Out port. You can adjust the MIDI transposition sent to the MIDI Out port on the
TRANSMIT page in MIDI mode.
FX Mode
With FX Mode set to Performance, the PC3K minimizes disruption of existing effects when
changing programs, and entry values will not disrupt sustained notes when changing programs
in Program or Quick Access modes. When controlling the PC3K from an external sequencer in
Program Mode, you will want to set FX Mode to Multitrack to minimize effect disruption. FX
Mode is set to Performance as a default, with some exceptions. In Song mode, Multitrack mode
is always used, despite how this parameter is set in Master Mode. Also, the FX Mode parameter
does not affect Setup Mode because it uses its own FX mode.
Drum Remap
This parameter will remap all Drum programs to conform to the General MIDI (GM) drum map,
a standard drum map used in many keyboards and synthesizers. The GM drum map isn't
optimally intuitive in terms of playability, so by default the PC3K uses a unique keymap that is
more intuitive and lends better to performance. However, the GM drum map is so
commonplace that many players feel more comfortable playing drum programs with the GM
drum map. Because of this, the PC3K is designed such that you can remap drum programs to
the GM drum map.
When the Master Page Drum Remap is set to None, no remapping takes place in Program mode.
When the Master Page Drum Remap is set to GM, the PC3K remaps Drum programs to the GM
drum map.
ID Entry
Global means that any entry you make from the alphanumeric keypad will select the object
indicated, regardless of the bank it is in. For example, in program mode type "36" of the
alphanumeric keypad to select program 36.
If Numeric Entry is set to Bank, your selection will be limited to the currently selected bank. For
instance, in Program mode, if you are in Orchestra bank and you enter "65", then the current
program becomes program 65 of the Orchestra bank, viz. 449 HornSect Layer.
Setup Controllers (SetupCtls)
The Setup Controllers parameter affects how the PC3K's physical controllers relate to Entry
Values in Setup Mode (see Entry (Ent) and Exit Values on page 7‐31.) With the Setup Controllers
parameter set to Instant, moving a physical controller assigned within a Setup will instantly
send a new MIDI value to that assignment. With the Setup Controllers parameter set to
PassEntry, moving a physical controller assigned within a Setup will not send a new MIDI value
to that assignment until the physical controller passes the value set for its Entry Value. Instant is
set by default, but PassEntry can be useful so that Setup controller assignments don't jump far
from their entry values when first moving a physical controller.
