Tempo - Kurzweil PC3LE Musician's Manual

Send Levels and Pre/Post Ins.
There are two parameters for each of the setup or song's 16 available MIDI channels: Send Level
(top row) and Pre‐/Post‐Insert (bottom row). The setting for the parameter Send Level determines
if the Aux Send Level for the selected zone/MIDI channel's program is overridden, and if so, by
what value. The default value of [p] means "no override" (i.e., use the values specified in the
program.) To override the send level value, select the send level parameter (the top row) for the
desired channel, and enter a new value with the Alpha Wheel, ‐/+ buttons, or enter a value with
alphanumeric pad and press the Enter button.
The setting for the parameter Pre‐/Post‐Insert determines if the current Aux routing for the
selected zone/MIDI channel's program is overridden, and if so, by what routing. The default
value of [p] means "no override" (i.e., use the values specified in the program.) To override the
Pre‐/Post‐Insert parameter setting, select the Pre‐/Post‐Insert parameter (the bottom row) for the
desired zone/track, and change the value with the Alpha Wheel or ‐/+ buttons. Pre means that
the Aux Send takes place before any Insert Effect is applied, whereas a setting of Pst means that
the Aux Send takes place post‐Insert Effect. (Of course, if the program on the channel has no
Insert Effects loaded, then this parameter will make no difference.) See Signal Flow on page 7‐60
for details on pre‐ and post‐Insert Aux Effects.

When Clock Source is set to Internal, the Tempo parameter sets the PC3LE's system tempo. The
Tempo parameter values are in units of BPM (beats per minute). This controls the tempo of any
arpeggiators used in the current setup, any riffs that have their BPM parameter set to Setup, any
tempo based effects, and the currently selected song in Song mode. You can also set the tempo
using the tap tempo button (located on the front panel below the Mode buttons.) Tap the Tap
Tempo button on beat for a measure or two at the desired tempo to set a tempo. This also brings
up the Tap Tempo page (see
