Introduction
Keeping Current
The
PC3LE
contains
many
of
the
same
sounds
as
the
PC3.
This
includes
detailed
acoustic
and
electric
pianos,
rich
orchestral
sounds,
and
many
other
instruments
from
Kurzweil’s
extensive
sample
collections.
The
PC3LE
comes
with
over
1000
instrument
programs,
all
of
which
can
be
edited
or
copied
to
a
user
program
to
customize
your
sound.
In
addition
to
sample
based
programs,
the
PC3LE
includes
Kurzweil’s
KB3
organ
simulator
for
realistic
tonewheel
organ
sounds
as
well
as
KVA
oscillators
for
virtual
analog
synthesis.
The
PC3LE
includes
many
hardware
features
designed
for
live
performance.
There
are
five
knobs,
each
of
which
can
be
assigned
to
3
separate
parameters
(each
parameter
accessed
through
use
of
a
shift
button,)
allowing
for
the
control
of
a
total
of
15
parameters.
There
are
eight
drum
pads
which
are
assignable
to
notes
or
control
functions.
The
PC3LE
also
includes
12
assignable
switches,
mod
and
pitch
wheels,
as
well
as
inputs
for
foot
switches
and
an
expression
pedal.
Keeping Current
Check
for
new
documentation
and
operating
system
upgrades
before
you
start
using
your
instrument.
When
new
software
is
available
for
the
PC3LE,
it
will
be
posted
at
www.kurzweil.com
.
You
can
use
the
PC3LE’s
Boot
Loader
(described
in
this
manual)
to
easily
upgrade
your
instrument
with
new
software
and
sounds,
which
will
be
released
periodically
by
Kurzweil.
Overview of the PC3LE
The
PC3LE’s
1000+
programs
include
samples
from
our
PC2’s
Base
ROM,
Orchestral
ROM,
Classic
Keys
ROM,
and
a
new
String
Sections
ROM,
as
well
as
support
for
General
MIDI.
Multi
‐
zone
performance
setups
are
also
provided;
many
of
these
setups
use
note
triggers
to
play
factory
‐
recorded
riffs
and
arpeggiations
that
provide
instant
grooves
and
backing
parts.
An
on
‐
board
sequencer
(Song
mode)
with
front
panel
transport
buttons
lets
you
record
your
musical
ideas
any
time
inspiration
strikes.
The
PC3LE
has
64
‐
voice
polyphony
with
16
multi
‐
timbral
channels,
so
that
different
programs
can
be
played
on
each
MIDI
channel.
The
PC3LE
features
a
world
‐
class
effects
processor
which
provides
multiple
simultaneous
effects,
along
with
real
‐
time
effects
control
via
the
front
panel
controls
or
MIDI.
For
backup,
storage,
and
moving
files,
the
PC3LE
features
two
USB
ports
on
the
rear
panel.
A
USB
storage
port
allows
you
to
connect
a
USB
device
such
as
a
thumb
drive,
and
a
second
USB
Computer
port
lets
you
connect
the
PC3LE
to
a
computer
for
file
transfer
and
MIDI
connectivity.
How the PC3LE Works
The
PC3LE
integrates
a
keyboard,
high
quality
samples,
a
powerful
synthesis
engine
and
a
high
‐
end
effects
processor.
MIDI
events
generated
by
playing
the
keyboard
cause
the
sound
engine
to
trigger
samples
or
oscillators
which
are
then
processed
by
Kurzweil’s
powerful
V.A.S.T.
digital
signal
processing.
The
resulting
sound
is
then
routed
through
the
PC3LE’s
effects
and
to
the
audio
outputs.
V.A.S.T. Synthesis
The
PC3LE’s
uses
Kurzweil’s
Variable
Architecture
Synthesis
Technology
(V.A.S.T.)
to
process
samples
and
oscillators
with
a
variety
of
powerful
digital
signal
‐
processing
(DSP)
tools
and
functions.
All
of
this
happens
“under
the
hood,”
so
you
don’t
have
to
worry
about
how
the
sound
you
are
using
is
constructed
in
order
to
modify
it.
The
PC3LE
gives
you
easy
access
to
a
Program’s
relevant
parameters
via
the
front
panel
knobs
and
buttons,
allowing
you
to
easily
modify
a
program
without
having
to
navigate
through
a
series
of
menus.
For
further
Program
modification,
the
PC3LE
features
a
simplified
Program
Editor.
For
those
who
need
more
editing
options,
use
the
simplified
Program
Editor
to
enter
the
V.A.S.T.
Program
Editor,
which
allows
you
to
access
most
of
the
same
V.A.S.T.
parameters
that
are
available
in
the
PC3.
