Chapter 6
Program Mode
Programs
are
the
PC3K’s
performance
‐
level
sound
objects.
They’re
preset
sounds
equivalent
to
the
patches,
presets,
voices,
or
multis
that
you
find
on
other
synths.
Program
mode
is
the
heart
of
the
PC3K,
where
you
select
programs
for
performance
and
editing.
The
PC3K
is
packed
with
great
sounds,
but
it’s
also
a
synthesizer
of
truly
amazing
depth
and
flexibility.
When
you’re
ready
to
start
tweaking
sounds,
the
Program
Editor
is
the
place
to
start.
The
PC3K
offers
two
new
powerful
editing
features:
Cascade
Mode
and
Dynamic
VAST
.
•
Cascade
Mode
lets
you
route
any
layer
of
a
program
into
the
DSP
of
any
other
layer.
Any
of
the
32
layers
of
a
program
can
go
into
any
other
layer.
•
Dynamic
VAST
lets
you
“wire”
your
own
algorithms.
You
can
combine
different
DSP
functions
in
any
order
you
like,
including
parallel
and
serial
configurations.
VAST and KB3 Programs
It
is
important
to
understand
the
difference
between
VAST
programs
and
KB3
programs.
VAST
programs
contain
up
to
32
layers,
each
of
which
contains
a
keymap
or
KVA
oscillator.
Keymaps
consists
of
a
number
of
samples
assigned
to
a
particular
keyboard
range.
KVA
oscillators
use
powerful
DSP
to
generate
a
range
of
simple
and
complex
waveforms
(see
Editing
VAST
Programs
With
KVA
Oscillators
on page 6
‐
53
for
more
details.)
KB3
programs
use
a
much
different
architecture.
There
are
no
layers
or
algorithms,
just
a
set
of
oscillators
(designed
to
emulate
the
tonewheels
in
a
Hammond
Organ)
that
start
running
as
soon
as
you
select
a
KB3
program.
The
next
two
sections
give
more
detailed
descriptions
of
the
differences
in
structure
between
VAST
programs
and
KB3
programs.
There
are
several
performance
features
(and
a
few
issues)
unique
to
KB3
programs;
these
are
discussed
on
page
6
‐
4.
After
that,
there
are
descriptions
of
the
Program
mode
features
that
are
common
to
both
types
of
programs.
