Operation Overview
Read this chapter to learn the basics of navigating the X-Pro. Afterwards, read the following
chapters to learn about the different modes of the X-Pro. The Setup Mode and Song Mode
chapters include step-by-step guides on how to use specific functions. When appropriate, steps
will include images from the X-Pro’s display, often with circled elements in order to direct your
attention to the current instruction.
Program Mode
allows you to select, play or edit instrument sounds called programs. Hundreds
of programs are provided, and you can also create your own. See Chapter 3 for details.
Setup Mode
lets you play multiple instrument sounds from the same group of keys, or split the
keyboard into zones so that, for example, each different octave of the keyboard plays a different
instrument sound. Chapter 4 provides the details.
Song Mode
allows you to easily record and edit songs using the built in sequencer. Chapter 5
shows you how.
Throughout these chapters you will be referred to the
PC3 Musician’s Guide
for additional
information. You can download the
PC3 Musician’s Guide
in PDF format for free at
www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com
, click on the tab for the Downloads page, then click the PC3
link. On the PC3 Downloads page click the User Manuals link to find a download link for the
latest version of the guide. The X-Pro uses the same powerful internal sound engine as the PC3
performance controller keyboard, and for the most part the X-Pro operates as the PC3 does,
aside from a few minor differences (see
Differences Between The X-Pro And The PC3
below.)
Almost all of the information in the
PC3 Musician’s Guide
can be applied to the X-Pro, so consult
this guide when you are ready to learn more advanced features of the X-Pro.
