Riffs
Riffs are full songs or individual tracks of a song created in the PC3LE's Song mode that you can
trigger in setup mode. Standard MIDI files may also be imported to Song mode and then used
as riffs in setups. Every zone in a setup can have itʹs own riff—a completely independent
sequence. You can use a setup with many riffs to trigger and stop looped sequences of different
instrument parts. Alternatively, a single riff can play multiple instrument parts. Each riff could
be used as a different song section of a backing track. For tutorials on how to configure riffs for
basic uses, see Basics Of Using Riffs on page 14‐35. Also, see Riff Troubleshooting on page 14‐52 for
solutions to common problems.
To use a riff, first go to Song mode and note the ID# of the song, section of song and track that
you will use for your riff. Next go to Setup mode and create a setup. On the CH/PRG page of the
Setup Editor, choose the program that you want to use for the riff on the current zone. Program
changes that are recorded in song mode will be ignored when using the song as a riff in a setup.
You can also set up the playback event filter in Song mode to ignore other types of events as
well. Once you have selected your program, press the more soft button until you get to the
RIFF1 and RIFF2 pages. The following sections describe the contents of these pages.
Note: By default, setting a zone to trigger a riff will disable the ability to play notes of that zone's
program from the keyboard. To re‐enable this ability, see Local on page 7‐52.
