Enter button. If you use this method, make sure to unlight the category shift button by pressing
it again after making your selection.) Lastly, hold the category button that you wish to save a

Startup Program
You can save the current settings for program mode (selected channel, selected program on each
channel) by entering and then exiting master mode. This saves a master table (see Chapter 9,
Master Mode for details.) By doing this, your selected channel and program will load the next
time you power on the PC3LE.

The Soft Buttons in Program Mode

Use the Octav– and Octav+ soft buttons to transpose up or down by a full octave. Pressing both
Octav buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to its original setting.
Pressing the Panic soft button sends an All Notes Off message and an All Controllers Off
message on all 16 MIDI channels.
Press the Info soft button to see all of the controller assignments of the current program. Scroll
down the page using the Alpha Wheel or the ‐/+ buttons. Info text is automatically created when
assigning a controller to a parameter within the Program Editor (see Automatic Info
Creation on page 6‐51 for details.)
The Xpose‐/Xpose+ buttons are a shortcut for quick transposition in semitone (half step)
increments. You can use them to transpose the entire PC3LE as much as three octaves up or
down. The top line of the display shows the current amount of transposition (Xpose). Pressing
both Xpose buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to zero. The Xpose buttons
transpose the PC3LE, as well as any MIDI devices connected to the PC3LE's MIDI Out port.
Changing the transposition with the soft buttons also changes the corresponding setting on the
Master mode MIDI Transmit page.

Saving Controller Settings

Saving On Program Mode Main Page Vs. The Program Editor
It is important to keep in mind how programs are saved when on the Program mode main page
vs. when using the Program Editor.
On the Program mode main page, if you change the settings of any controls (knob position,
assignable switch on/off, Mod Wheel position, as well as Arp Settings,) the LED on the Save
button will light. Press the Save button to bring up the save dialog and save your edited
program. If you switch to a different program, the alterations that you made to the previous
program will be lost without warning.
When using the Program Editor, the LED on the Save button will light when you have altered
the current program, and the PC3LE will ask if you would like to save the current program if
you exit the Program Editor.
Saving A Newly Edited Program
If you are saving changes to a program that you have not previously edited, the save dialog will
choose the first available user ID# as a save location (so that you don't replace the original
program.) You can also choose a different ID# to save the program to and rename the program if
desired. If you have edited a factory ROM program and wish to save over the original program
