Performance Features
EQ
EQ
The PC1 comes with its own three-band equalization (EQ), or tone controls. The EQ is global
which means that there is only one setting that is used all of the time regardless of which
program or setup is selected. Its purpose is to adjust the PC1 for individual listening situations.

Changing the EQ

1. Press the EQ button to light its LED, and the EQ parameters appear in the display:
Each band starts at 0 dB when you turn on your PC1 (this is called flat equalization).
2. Adjust the level of each frequency range using Knobs A, B, and C, which correspond to
the low, middle, and high frequency range. You can go from -12 dB (lowering the level)
to 12 dB (raising the level). You'll hear the sound change as you adjust each level
(depending on the sound, the change can be quite subtle).
3. You can also use the cursor buttons and Alpha Wheel to change the EQ settings.
4. Press EQ again to return to your previous performance mode (alternatively, you can
press Cancel, or press one of the mode-selection buttons).

Effects

The PC1's digital multi-effects consist of two independent effects blocks called FX-A and FX-B.
The current program or setup determines whether the signal from the PC1's sound engine goes
through either effect block (every program and every setup zone has a parameter called Routing
that determines whether the signal goes through FX-A, FX-B, or both).
You can use most of the PC1's effects on FX-A. FX-B is primarily for reverbs (these reverbs are
also available for FX-A).

Controlling Effects

By default, most programs and setups use at least one of the effects blocks (the Effect LED is lit),
which means that you hear some kind of effect along with the sounds. You can vary the effects in
real time by changing the Wet/Dry mix of FX-A and FX-B independently using MIDI Controller
messages. (When you're in Program mode, you can use Knobs A and B to control the Wet/Dry
mixes for most programs.)
Send the following MIDI Controller messages to the PC1 to change the Wet/Dry mix. A value of 0
for one of these messages sets the mix level to fully dry (0%); a value of 127 makes the mix fully
wet (100%).
