The Algorithm (ALG) Page
The Algorithm (ALG) Page
Press the ALG soft button to call up the Algorithm (ALG) page. The top line of the display gives
you the usual mode reminder, and tells you which layer you're looking at, as well as how many
layers are in the current program. You can view the ALG pages of any other layers in the
program by using the Chan/Layer buttons.
The central portion of the page shows the algorithm for the currently selected layer. You see the
number of the algorithm (from 1 to 28, 101 to 131, and the IDs for any user‐defined algorithms)
and a graphic representation of the signal path, as well as the currently selected DSP functions
within the signal path.
To use a different algorithm, select the Algorithm parameter and use any data entry method to
select a different one. To change the DSP function within an algorithm, move the cursor to the
block you want to change, then use the Alpha Wheel or Plus/Minus buttons. There's a
staggering number of combinations of algorithms and DSP functions alone, not to mention the
numerous controls that can be used to modify the DSP functions.
Note: Changing a layer's algorithm can affect the layer's sound drastically. It's a good idea to bring down
the volume of your PC3K or your sound system before changing algorithms.
