Tutorials: Setup Mode
A setup is made up of 1 to 16 Zones, each of which uses a program (instrument sound) from
Program mode. With a setup you can play up to 16 different instrument sounds at once, either
as separate instruments from different key ranges (known as split setups,) as layers of
instruments from the same keys (known as layered setups,) or using a mix of both methods.
Each zone can also trigger a riff, which is sequence that can be synced with other riffs or
transposed as it is triggered.
The following examples will explain how to use and edit each type of setup. These examples
include instructions to choose specific programs and choose specific key ranges. You can follow
the same guides to make your own custom setups by choosing any combination of programs
and key ranges. In each tutorial, read the text for each step and look at the example display
screen shots as a guide for following each step. Important parameters that are mentioned in each
step will be circled on the example screen shots.
The preset setups included with the PC3LE include split and layered setups, as well as some
setups that use more advanced features like riffs or assignable switches and knobs. To learn
more about these features see Chapter 7, Setup Mode.
A Note About Programs: Each Zone in a setup contains a program from the PC3LE's Program
mode. The PC3LE comes with over 1000 programs, and you can also edit these programs. When
choosing a program for a setup, many users will be satisfied using one of the included programs
as is. Some users may also wish to alter the properties of a program beyond the options given in
Setup mode. In these cases, it is necessary to edit the program from Program mode. See The
Program Editor on page 6‐9 for more details.
