The Control Setup
The control setup is a setup which defines the controller assignments for all programs in
Program mode (these assignments are the MIDI CC numbers that the PC3LE's physical
controllers send while in Program mode. Parameters on the Program Editor Parameters page can
then be assigned to respond to these CC numbers.) The control setup is stored in setup mode at
ID# 126 and is named Internal Voices. See the diagram below for a visual depiction of the
Control Setup's role while in Program Mode. Don't edit the Control Setup unless you are an
advanced MIDI user and know what you're doing, read below for details.
Examples Of How The Control Setup Defines The PC3LE's Physical Controller
Assignments While In Program Mode:
PC3LE's
Physical
Controllers
(Knob 5)
Reverb, 2 2/3'
Pedal SW1
(Continues for
all controllers
except Pads.)
All factory ROM programs (and any user programs made before editing the control setup) use
the controller assignments of the default settings for the control setup. Because of this, editing
the control setup can "break" the Control Source assignments made for programs on the
Program Editor Parameters page. Since the PC3LE's physical controllers will not be sending
their default MIDI CC's, the program parameters that have their Control Source set as one of the
default MIDI CC's will no longer be controlled by the PC3LE's physical controllers. These
programs could be "fixed" by re‐assigning the Control Source for each parameter so that they
are controlled by the new CC numbers set for the control setup.
Don't edit the control setup unless you are an advanced MIDI user who needs to send specific
MIDI CC's to external equipment. You can save multiple versions of a control setup by saving a
copy of an edited control setup to an available user ID#, and then copying the desired setup to
ID# 126 by saving the setup at ID# 126, and overwriting the existing setup saved at ID#126. You
can always recall the original control setup by deleting the setup stored at ID# 126. You can
delete a setup from within the Setup Editor by using the Delete soft button, see
Delete on page 7‐65.
When editing the control setup, only zone 1 has an effect on program mode. (Zones 2–16 are not
relevant in Program Mode, because the PC3LE's physical controllers can only control one MIDI
channel at a time in Program Mode.) See the table below for which pages and parameters in the
Setup Editor of the Control Setup have an affect on Programs in Program Mode.
