Setup Mode
The Control Setup
The Control Setup
In addition to zone splitting and layering, Setup mode is a powerful way to take advantage of
the PC3’s programmable sliders, ribbon controllers, and assignable buttons. In order to provide
some of the same flexibility for Program mode, we created the control setup, which defines the
controller assignments for programs in Program mode.
The default control setup is 126 Internal Voices, but you can choose any control setup you want.
To do this, go to the MIDI-mode TRANSMIT page and use any normal data entry method to
change the ControlSetup parameter. When you reenter Program mode, all programs will now
respond to many of the controller assignments defined in Zone 1 of the control setup (Zones 2–
16 are not relevant in Program mode, because a program can occupy only one MIDI channel).
Once you save changes to the control setup, those changes will affect all programs when you are
in Program mode. You may want to program several different control setups, and switch among
them for different applications.
Riffs
Riffs are full songs or individual tracks of a song created in the PC3 sequencer that you can
trigger in setup mode. Standard MIDI files may also be imported to the sequencer and then used
as riffs in setups. Every zone in a setup can have it's own riff - a completely independent
sequence.
To use riffs, create a setup. Note the location of the song, section of song and track that you will
use for your riff. You will need to choose the program you want to use for your riff in each zone
of your setup on the CH/PRG page. Program changes that are recorded in song mode will be
ignored when using the song as a riff in a setup. You can also set up the playback event filter in
the sequence to ignore other types of events as well.
Once you have selected your program, press the “more” soft button until you get to the RIFF1
and RIFF2 pages. The following sections describe the contents of these pages.
RIFF1
Song
Select the song you wish to use in the “Song” parameter by using the alpha wheel, increment/
decrement buttons or the alpha numeric keypad. You will be able to select tracks, start and stop
times on the RIFF2 page.
Riff
Set the Riff parameter to “On.” This will enable the riff feature for this zone in setup mode.
Setting this parameter to “Off” will disable the riff for this zone.
Trigger
There are a few ways to trigger riffs in setup mode. Any physical controller can be assigned a
Riff On or Riff Off from the mod source list. You can also use the keys on the keyboard to set a
trigger and release range.
To set the key/key range to trigger your riff, select the first value of the trigger parameter. Now
you can select the key number by scrolling the alpha wheel, or you can use intuitive entry by
pressing and holding the enter button on the alpha numeric keypad and pressing the desired
key on your keyboard. You will see this value change as you press a key.
