KB3 Channel
With this parameter, you can specify the KB3 channel in the current setup. Note that if you
assign a KB3 program to a zone not assigned to the KB3 channel, the PC3K will notify you on
the CH/PRG page.
For setups with KB3 and VAST programs, you can program a switch to toggle back and forth
between having the sliders and mute buttons function as they would with KB3 programs, and
having the sliders and mute buttons function as they would with VAST programs. In the Setup
editor, go to the COMMON page and set the Mutes parameter to KB3 Control. Now pick a
switch—say SW, which is right next to the Arp button. Go to the SWITCH page (or
corresponding editor page for whatever switch you choose), and set OnControl to KB3Mutes
(enter 169, or scroll to the end of the Controller List). Do this for all zones in the setup. Now you
can toggle back and forth between having drawbars or having sliders work on the non‐KB3
sounds by pressing the SW switch.
See Editing KB3 Programs on page 6‐60 for more information on the KB3 mode and the KB3
channel.
Mutes
The Mutes parameter gives you manual control over the behavior of the buttons above the
programmable sliders. There's really only one case in which you'd need to worry about this
parameter: when you have a setup that contains both VAST programs and a KB3 program, and
you want the buttons to control KB3 features.
By default, the PC3K uses the Mute buttons (the buttons above the sliders on keyboard models)
to control the muting and unmuting of zones—which means you don't have real‐time control
over any KB3 features. Change the Mutes parameter to KB3 Control to use the Mute buttons as
real‐time KB3 controllers. The white labeling above the buttons describes their functions.
Arpeggiator Global (ArpGlobal)
With the ArpGlobal parameter, you can set each zone's Arpeggiator to act as if they all have the
same parameters on the ARPEGGIATOR page. In addition to OFF, there are as many ArpGlobal
settings as there are zones in the current setup. For example, in a seven‐zone setup, you can
select a value of OFF, or Arp 1–7 for ArpGlobal. The number of the ArpGlobal setting indicates
which zone's Arpeggiator is being globalized. Thus, in this same seven‐zone setup, with
ArpGlobal set to Arp 4, all seven zones will behave as specified by the ARPEGGIATOR page
parameters for zone 4.
Arpeggiator Sync (ArpSync)
Setting ArpSync to Sync Mode allows you to arpeggiate across zones boundaries. There are two
important points to keep in mind when using Sync Mode:
•
Make sure that the arpeggiator keyranges of each zone that you want to sync cover the
entire keyboard, rather than covering the range of the current zone. If the arpeggiator
keyranges do not coincide, then playing keys in separate zones will sound no different from
having ArpSync set to Not in Sync.
For "regular" arpeggios, make sure the Beats parameter settings on the ARPEGGIATOR page of
each zone that you want to sync are the same. Different Beats values result in irregular—but
potentially very interesting—arpeggios.
