Program Mode
The Program Mode Page
If you don't like the way the physical controllers work in Program mode, you can either select a
different Control Setup, or edit the existing one. Any changes you make to the current Control
Setup will also affect the way that setup works in Setup mode.
There are a few important points to remember about the Control Setup:
•
The current Control Setup governs controller assignments for all modes except Setup, where
each setup has its own unique assignments.
•
The current Control Setup is used by all programs in Program mode.
•
You cannot change the Control Setup from within Program mode.
•
The Control Setup doesn't affect the sound of a program, only the assignments of certain
physical controllers. The samples and keymaps assigned to a program are unaffected by the
Control Setup. While you're in Program mode, the PC3K ignores the programs assigned to
the setup that you choose as the Control Setup.
•
Almost all of the VAST programs in the PC3K are designed to respond to the controller
assignments in the default Control Setup (126 Internal Voices). Therefore you'll want to use
126 Internal Voices as the Control Setup in most cases. However, if you want to change the
controller assignments for any program or set of programs (either VAST or KB3), use a
Control Setup that has the controller assignments you want.
The Soft Buttons in Program Mode
Use the Octav– and Octav+ soft buttons to transpose up or down by a full octave. Pressing both
Octav buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to its original setting.
Pressing the Panic soft button sends an All Notes Off message and an All Controllers Off
message on all 16 MIDI channels.
Press the Info soft button to see all of the controller assignments of the current program. Scroll
down the page using the Alpha Wheel or the Plus/Minus buttons.
The Xpose‐/Xpose+ buttons are a shortcut for quick transposition in semitone (half step)
increments. You can use them to transpose the entire PC3K as much as three octaves up or
down. The top line of the display shows the current amount of transposition (Xpose). Pressing
both Xpose buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to zero. The Xpose buttons
transpose the PC3K, as well as any MIDI devices connected to the PC3K's MIDI Out port.
Changing the transposition with the soft buttons also changes the corresponding setting on the
MIDI mode TRANSMIT page.
Controller Entry Values in Program Mode
To capture entry values for sliders, go to the Controllers page by pressing the CTLS soft button
in the program editor. The soft button next to it, "SetCtl," allows you to capture the values of
your sliders, Mwheel and MIDI 29 (the SW button, located above the Mod Wheel).
Similarly, when using a KB3 program, you can capture the entry values for the drawbars (the
sliders) by pressing the "SetDBR" soft button in the KB3 program editor (this button is located
next to the DRAWBR soft button).
