User Interface Basics

Search
There’s a convenient way to find any string of characters within the currently selected list, or
range of values. Hold the Enter button and press any of the numeric buttons. A dialog appears.
Type in the string of characters you want to find. For example, if you’re looking at the program
list and you want to find all programs containing the word “Horn,” you would type h ‐ o ‐ r ‐ n.
This function is not case ‐ sensitive; it will find upper and lower case characters regardless of
what you type.
When you’ve typed the string of characters you want to find, press Enter . The PC3K searches
through the current list of objects or values, finds all items that match the string of characters
you typed, and displays the first one it finds. Hold Enter and press one of the Plus/Minus
buttons to search for the next higher ‐ or lower ‐ numbered object that contains the string of
characters.
The string you select remains in memory. You can store and select a string of characters with
each of the numeric buttons. Hold Enter and press one of the numeric buttons at any time to
select that string for a search. When the string appears, you can change it, or just press Enter to
find that string.
Quick Song Recording and Playback
There are three buttons—labeled Record , Play/Pause , and Stop —below the mode selection
buttons. They control the recording and playback of songs from any mode; you don’t have to be
in Song mode to record or play back. However, you’ll need to make sure that the Demo Button
parameter on Master Mode Page 2 is set to “Off.” Otherwise these buttons are used for Easy
Audition (see page 2 ‐ 7). Master Mode is described in Chapter 11.
Using these buttons affects the current track of the current song—that is, the song and track that
were selected the last time you were in Song mode. When you record, the recording track and
recording mode are determined by the current settings in Song mode; likewise for the playback
mode when you’re playing a song.
When the sequencer status is STOPPED (neither the Record ‐ button LED nor the Play/Pause ‐
button LED is lit or flashing), press Record to put the sequencer in REC READY status. The
Record ‐ button LED lights (red). Then press Play/Pause to start recording. The Play/Pause ‐
button flashes (green) to indicate the tempo. Any countoff is determined by the current Song ‐
mode setting for the CountOff parameter. Press Play/Pause or Stop to end recording and go to
the Save dialog, where you can save the song, or discard it.
When the sequencer status is STOPPED, press Play/Pause to begin playing the current song.
Press Play/Pause again to pause playback, and again to resume. Press Stop to end playback.
See Chapter 12 for more information on Song Mode.
