Master Table Lock (Master Lock)
With Master Lock set to Off, the PC3K will save the current Master mode configuration when
you exit Master mode (or MIDI mode). This information is stored in a Master Table object (see
Save on page 11‐16 below for more details on what is saved with a Master Table.)
If you have a particular Master configuration that you would like to safeguard against the auto‐
saving feature, set Master Lock to On. With the Master Lock on, the PC3K does not save any
changes unless you press the Save soft button. Note that if you would like Master Lock to stay
on next time you turn on the PC3K, you must press the Save soft button to store the state of
Master Lock to the Master Table.
Demo Button
The Demo Button parameter determines what pressing the Play/Pause button does in program
mode. With the Demo button parameter set to On, the Play/Pause button plays a demo song for
the current program. (To play a demo song, the Demo Song parameter must be set in the
program editor for the current program, see page 6‐36 for details.) With the Demo button
parameter set to Off, the Play/Pause button plays the last song that was selected in Song Mode.
If a demo song is set for the current program, it can always be played from program mode by
simultaneously pressing the up and down cursor buttons.
Buttons Mode (Buttons)
If you set the Buttons parameter to On, pressing any buttons on the PC3K will generate System
Exclusive (SysEx) messages that are sent to the MIDI Out port. This enables you to do two
things: control a remote PC3K, and/or record sequences of programming button presses to a
sequencer or SysEx software package.
If you have the MIDI In port of another PC3K connected to the first one's MIDI Out port, the
second instrument will respond to every button press on the first instrument, just as if you were
pressing the buttons of the second one. Keep in mind that both devices must be in exactly the
same state (the same page in the same mode, with identical lists of RAM objects) when you start.
Otherwise the button presses you make on the first instrument may execute other functions on
the second instrument.
Again, it's important to keep in mind that the state of your PC3K must be identical to its state
when you recorded the sequence of button presses. If you've added or deleted any objects
stored in RAM, for example, the sequence of button presses will select different objects when
you play back the button press sequence.
NOTE: Make sure this parameter is set to Off before you initiate a SysEx dump of any kind. If this
parameter is on when you start a dump, the buttons you press to begin the dump will also generate SysEx
messages.
