Arpeggiator Settings (Arp Settings Button); Split/Layer Button; Tap Tempo Button - Kurzweil PC3LE Musician's Manual

Program Mode
The Program Mode Page
at the original ID#, simultaneously press the +/‐ buttons to jump between selecting the program's
original ID# and the first available User category ID#. Saving at the program's original factory
ID# will replace the factory program, but you can always return a factory ROM program to it's
original settings by deleting the program at that ID# (see Delete on page 6‐15.)
Updating A Previously Edited Program
If you are saving changes to a program that you have previously edited, the same ID# that the
edited program was saved with will automatically be selected, and you can simultaneously
press the +/‐ buttons to jump between selecting the program's same ID# and the first available
User category ID#. If you wish to make an updated edit to a previously edited program and
replace the old version at the same ID#, pressing the Save button twice will have the same result
as pressing the Save button and then the save soft button.

Arpeggiator Settings (Arp Settings Button)

Each program has its own arpeggiator settings. Press the Arp Settings button on the front panel
(below the mode buttons.) This will bring you to the Arpeggiator 1 page where you can access
the arpeggiator settings for the currently selected program. See Chapter 7, The ARPEGGIATOR
Page for more on these settings. The arpeggiator in Program mode acts the same as a single
arpeggiator does in Setup mode, but in Program mode the Arpeggiator 2 page has no SyncTo,
SyncType, or Num Beats parameters as it does in Setup mode.

Split/Layer Button

Press the Split/Layer button to create a split or layered setup using the currently selected
program, which you can then play in Setup mode. You will be brought to the Split/Layer page.
See Chapter 7, Split/Layer Button for details on how to use this page.
Note: When entering the Split/Layer page from Program mode, it acts the same as it does in
Setup mode, except that your result will be a new setup, instead of adding a new split or layer
zone to an existing setup as you would with when entering the Split/Layer page from Setup
mode. Also, when entering the Split/Layer page from Program mode the currently selected
program will be assigned to zone 1 of a new setup, and the PC3LE's physical controllers will be
assigned to zone 1's program by default (though you can edit this later in setup Edit mode.)

Tap Tempo Button

You can use the Tap Tempo button to set the tempo of the Arpeggiator while in Program mode
(or to set the System or Song tempo in other modes.) Tap the Tap Tempo button on quarter note beats
for a measure or two at the desired tempo to set a tempo. You need to tap at least twice for a
tempo to be calculated, though tapping several times (like on each beat of one or more
measures) works best. This also brings up the Tap Tempo page which gives you more Tap
Tempo options. The newly tapped tempo is displayed in the tempo field, and LED on the Tap
Tempo button blinks at that tempo. Press the Exit button or the Done soft button to return to the
Program mode main page.
