Programming Your PC2
The KB3 Editor
the previous technique on the highest- numbered setup in this sequence to take you back to the
lowest- numbered setup in the sequence.
In this same sequence of setups, you could use Switch Pedal 3 with On Ctrl set to
Setup Dec
(
1
,
4
,
0
,
Enter
) and On value of
127
to step
down
one setup at a time.
Transposing a Setup With a Button
If you donÕt have the time to learn a tune in a different key, you can have the PC2 transpose a
setup with one press of a button. This example transposes up a fourth, but itÕs up to you to
decide both the direction and the interval (if you want to transpose down an octave, try the
Octave Shift
button (
SW1
, which works for many programs and setups).
1. Create a with one or more zones. Make Zone 1 current.
2. Press and hold
Controllers
, and press one of the switch buttons (make sure to choose one
that isnÕt doing something you need for the setupÑweÕll assume you use
SW5
). This
displays the SwType parameter for
SW5
in Zone 1. The default value of
Toggle
is OK.
3. Press
>
to select the On Ctrl parameter. Press
1
,
4
,
5
,
Enter
to set a value of
Trans Up
.
4. Press
>
to select the On Value parameter. Set its value to
5
.
5. Press
>
to select the Off Ctrl parameter. Notice that the PC2 has automatically set its value
to match the value youÕve set for On Ctrl. Convenient.
6. Press
Plus
to set the Off Ctrl parameter to a value of Trans Down.
7. Press
>
to select the Off Value parameter. Set its value to 5.
8. Repeat this procedure for all zones in the setup (unless you want to transpose some zones
and not others).
The KB3 Editor
In the KB3 Editor, you have access to the parameters that affect the sound of the current KB3
program. These parameters are described beginning on page 5-27.
Editing the Percussion Parameters
When editing the percussion parameters, you have to have percussion enabled in order to hear
the effects of your edits. Similarly, the
combination
of percussion effects you want to edit must be
active as well. For example, if you want to hear the effect of editing the Perc Ld/Fast parameter,
you have to have both the high-volume and fast-decay effects activated.
The zone buttons control which of the effects are active. The
Zone 1
,
Zone 2
, and
Zone 3
buttons
control the combination of Loud/Soft (Volume) and Fast/Slow (Decay) parameters. The Pitch
parametersÑactivated by the
Zone 4
buttonÑare independent of the others, but being able to
hear edits to the Low Harm and High Harm parameters depends on having the low-pitch or
high-pitch effects activated. The following table illustrates how the Loud/Soft and Fast/Slow
parameters interactÑthat is, which effects must be active in order for you to hear the differences
resulting from editing the corresponding parameters.
