Performance Features
The Front Panel
3-9
The mode-selection buttons work the same regardless of your performance mode, but the other
two groups of buttons are mode-dependent, as described below:
Internal Voices Mode
Each bank is organized in 16 categories of 8 programs, organized by
program category (pianos, organs, etc.). Each program has a bank
entry from
1A
Ð
16H
, as shown at the top right of the display. Press
1
Ð
16
to select a category. Press
Next Group
or
Previous Group
to
select a program within the current category. (In Internal Voices
mode, think of these buttons as
Next
Program
and
Previous
Program
). In other words, the numbered buttons change the numeral
(the category) in the bank entry, and the
Next Group
and
Previous
Group
buttons change the group letter within the current category.
MIDI Setups mode
Each bank of 128 setups is organized in 8 groups of 16 setups. Each
setup has a bank entry from
A01
Ð
H16
, as shown at the bottom left of
the display. Press
Next Group
or
Previous Group
to select a group of
setups. Press one of the buttons labeled
1
Ð
16
to select setups within
that group. In MIDI Setups mode, the numbered buttons change the
numeral in the bank entry, and the
Next Group
and
Previous Group
buttons change the letter.
KB3 mode
The notion of a category is less meaningful when all the sounds in the
bank are organs, so KB3 programs donÕt display bank entries
(although the bank ID does appear at the top left of the display). Even
so, each KB3 bank is organized the same way as in Internal Voices
modeÑthat is the 16 internal KB3 programs are accessible using
buttons
1
Ð
16
. The
Next Group
and
Previous Group
buttons arenÕt
relevant in the Internal bank of KB3 mode, since thereÕs only one KB3
program per Òcategory.Ó If you press one of these buttons, either
nothing will happen, or the display will tell you that the program is
not found. In the User bank, the PC2 stores KB3 programs with
consecutively-numbered IDs., and the
Next Group
and
Previous
Group
buttons work the way they do in Internal Voices mode.
Zone Select and Assignable Controllers
The behavior of most of the buttons and sliders in this region depends on the performance
mode.
Internal Voices Mode
In Internal Voices mode, the four zone buttons correspond to the white labeling:
Main
,
Layer
,
Split
, and
Split Layer
. Using these buttons, you can quickly create split programs (two
programs playing on different parts of the keyboard) or layered programs (two sounds playing
together across the entire key range of the internal setup). You can also create combinations of
splits and layers. See
Layering and Splitting
on page 3-17 for details.
Keep in mind that if you create splits or layers (or combinations), you canÕt save the resulting
sound as a
program
, but you can save it as a
setup
. WeÕll discuss this further in
Layering and
Splitting
.
The
Solo
button is relevant only if youÕve created a split or layer, in which case you can use the
Solo
button to play just one of the sounds, and mute the other(s). See
Layering and Splitting
for
details.
