differences will be described.

run on Windows XP or Vista, or a Macintosh (OSX 10.3 or higher).

Before You Begin
To get the most out of this program you should be familiar with the operation of the PC3. The
PC3 is complex musical instrument with an amazing array of programmable features. The PC3
Musician‟s Guide is the principal resource for descriptions of the instrument and its operation;
this document is recommended reading for all PC3 users. Although SoundEditor can be an
invaluable resource to aid in the understanding the PC3, it is not a substitute for reading the
Kurzweil documentation.
An Important Note About SoundEditor
While using SoundEditor, the PC3 must not be in Edit Mode. Failure to observe this precaution
can result in unreliable editing and improper operation, including the possibility of locking up
the PC3 (should this happen, you‟ll need to cycle the power to reset the PC3).
