User Interface Basics

Mode Buttons

The PC3LE's tone wheel organ emulation is called KB3 mode. You automatically enter this
mode when you select a KB3 program. You can find KB3 programs by pressing the Organ
category button while in Program mode. The programs that use KB3 mode will light the KB3
LED to the left of the knobs, indicating that the PC3LE's knobs and switches are now dedicated
to the organ controls that are labeled on the front panel.
Mode Buttons
When you press a mode button, its LED lights up to indicate that the mode has been selected. If
pressing a mode button does not light its LED, press the Exit button one or more times, then try
again.

Assignable Controls

KB3
Shift
The PC3LE's Assignable Controls (see above) are the five knobs on the left of the front panel.
Each of the five Assignable Controls can control three separate functions independently, giving
you access to knob control of 15 parameters. Use the Shift button to the left of these knob
controls to toggle between accessing controls 1‐5 (Timbre‐Reverb,) CTL 6‐10, or CTL 11‐15.
Pressing this Shift button will light one of the LEDs of the three rows of labels below the
Assignable Controls. This lets you know which set of controls you are using (either controls 1‐5
(Timbre‐Reverb,) CTL 6‐10, or CTL 11‐15.) Each knob can be used to control a program specific
parameter, or to send MIDI continuous controller values to external equipment. Press the Info
soft button from the Program, Setup or QA mode main pages to see the assignments set for each
control.
