Program Mode
Algorithm Basics
The Cascade mode algorithms (very much like triple mode on a K2600) start at ID 101. Note in
the above figures how algorithm 101 looks very similar to algorithm 1. Each Cascade mode
algorithm corresponds to its non‐cascade equivalent, which has the same ID number minus 100.
For example, algorithm 105 is a cascade mode version of algorithm 5. On the Alg page, select
which layer you want to have running through your cascade layer with the Alt Input parameter.
Make sure to turn down the Amp volume on your source layers if you only want to hear whatʹs
coming out of the final cascade layer.
Dynamic VAST
The Dynamic VAST editor is yet another particularly powerful feature of the PC3K that allows
you to edit the wiring of an algorithm. With Dynamic VAST, literally thousands of wiring
schemes are possible. Using Cascade mode in conjunction with Dynamic VAST gives you almost
infinite control over your program's sound and behavior by enabling you to create your own
unique, complex algorithms.
To enter the Dynamic VAST editor, select the ALG (Algorithm) page by pressing the ALG soft
button. Highlight the Algorithm parameter, select an algorithm, and press the edit button. This
action calls up the Edit Algorithm (EditAlg) page in which you can edit the wiring of the
selected algorithm.

Output Mode
In addition to having a selectable function, each function block has three editable parameters:
number of inputs, number of outputs, and block size (the Output Mode parameter is an editable
parameter of the algorithm as a whole). When you first enter the EditAlg page, there will be a
cursor in the parameter field, and the first block of the algorithm will be highlighted. To select a
block for editing, move the cursor down the display until no parameter field is highlighted;
then, using the < and > buttons, highlight the block you wish to edit. Press the ^ button to move
the cursor back into the parameter fields, and then select the parameter you wish to edit.
The Output Mode parameter determines the number of outputs from the algorithm. With
Output Mode set to Normal, the algorithm has one output. With Output Mode set to Sep. L/R,
the algorithm has two outputs, each of which is sent to a separate stereo channel.
To edit the signal path, select either an input of a block or an output of the entire algorithm. By
scrolling with Alpha Wheel or the ‐ and + buttons, you can see every possible configuration for
that selected signal path.
