Startup
If hooking up new gear is familiar to you, and you just want to get going, here’s a quick
description of what you need to get started with your PC3. If you need more information,
thorough descriptions of each step follow.
Make Connections
1. Set the keyboard on a hard, flat, level surface. Make sure to leave plenty of room for
ventilation.
2. Four adhesive-backed rubber feet are provided with your PC3. If you want to attach them
to the bottom of the PC3 (recommended to prevent scratching your tabletop), carefully
turn the keyboard over, remove the paper backing from the rubber feet and attach them
now, near each corner.
3. Connect the power cable.
4. Make sure your sound system is at a safe volume level. Also make sure that the PC3’s
MASTER VOLUME slider (on the far left side of the front panel) is all the way down.
5. Plug in a pair of stereo headphones or run standard (1/4-inch) audio cables from your
amplifier or mixer to the MIX audio outputs on the PC3. (Use the Main Left out for mono.)
Balanced (“TRS” or “Stereo”) cables are recommended.
Make Music
1. Power up your PC3, raise the level of the MASTER VOLUME slider, and check out some
of the programs and setups. The PC3 starts up in Program mode by default. Press one of
the mode buttons to the left of the display to switch modes.
2. If you hear distortion, reduce the gain on your mixing board, or use the pad if it has one.
3. Scroll through the program list with the Alpha Wheel, or the dedicated Category and
Program buttons, and try the PC3’s many sounds.
