The QA Editor
Soft Buttons In Quick Access Mode
Use the
Octav–
and
Octav+
soft buttons to transpose up or down by a full octave. Pressing both
Octav
buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to its original setting.
Press the
Info
soft button to see all of the controller assignments of the current program. Scroll
down the page using the Alpha Wheel, cursor or the
-/+
buttons.
The
Xpose-/Xpose+
buttons are a shortcut for quick transposition in semitone (half step)
increments. You can use them to transpose the entire PC3A as much as three octaves up or down.
The bottom line of the display shows the current amount of transposition (Xpose). Pressing both
Xpose
buttons simultaneously returns the transposition to zero. The
Xpose
buttons transpose the
PC3A, as well as any MIDI devices connected to the PC3A’s MIDI Out port. Changing the
transposition with the soft buttons also changes the Transpose setting on the
MIDIMode:Transmit page in MIDI mode.
The QA Editor
Use the QA Editor to customize existing QA banks. Enter the QA editor from QA mode by
pressing the
Edit
button.
The top line gives you the usual mode reminder, the current QA bank, and the current entry
(corresponding numeric button for the highlighted object.) The cursor highlights the object
(program or setup) that’s stored in the current entry.
Selecting A Quick Access Entry To Edit
Pressing the
Chan/Layer
buttons scrolls through the ten entries—the number of the current entry
is displayed in the top-right corner. As the entry number changes, the highlighted objects at the
center of the page change as well, showing you what’s stored in each entry. On the page above,
for example, entry 0 is the current entry.
Selecting A Program For A Quick Access Entry
Above, the Type field tells you that the object stored at entry 0 is a program. The cursor highlights
the program’s ID and name. Use the Alpha Wheel or
-/+
buttons to scroll through the list of
programs.
