The Song Editor
In general, you’ll get to the Song editor pages by pressing the Edit button any time you’re in
Song mode. There’s one exception: if the Program parameter is currently highlighted on the
display, you’ll enter the Program editor when you press Edit .
There are a few conventions shared by all of the Song editor pages. Displayed at the top of each
Song editor page is the name of the page and the currently selected track (1–16, or all tracks). All
of the values for the parameters found in any of the Song ‐ editor pages are saved in the song
object.
Song Editor: The COMMON Page
Press the Edit button on the front panel of the PC3K to display the COMMON page and begin
editing a song. This is where you will find parameters common to all tracks, such as tempo and
time signature, control parameters for effects, and soft buttons for switching to other Song
editor pages.
The currently selected track is displayed on the top line, though on the COMMON page this
only applies to the DrumTrk and MidiDst parameters (see below.) The rest of the parameters on
the COMMON page are global settings for the song and do not directly affect individual tracks.
Tempo
This is another place where the song’s initial tempo can be set or modified.
TimeSig
Affects the click, playback looping, and locate function as well as some editing operations. Does
not change the recorded data, though it does change the way data is displayed on the screen.
