The EFFECTS (FX) Page
Press the FX soft button to call up the EFFECTS page. Use this page to apply audio effects to a
program. You can choose an effects Chain for insert effects and an effects Chain for aux effects.
Some drum programs use multiple insert effects chains.
The PC3LE’s chains contain a variety of effects including different types of reverb, chorus, delay,
flanger, phaser, tremolo, panner, leslie, distortion, EQ, compression, filter, envelope following
filter, frequency stimulator, ring modulator, frequency offset, pitch LFO, and stereoizer. Chains 1
through 81 contain many configurations of these effects, which are useful for quickly finding a
suitable effect. The remaining chains are used by the PC3LE’s factory programs, setups, and
songs, though they can be used for any user program, setup, or song as well. If you discover a
factory program, setup, or song that uses an effect that you like, look at the chain number in the
program, setup or song editor so that you can use it later in your own program, setup, or song.
A complete list of the PC3LE’s effects chains can be found at www.kurzweil.com.
On the PC3LE, a program can have a Chain of up to 8 insert effects and a Chain of 8 aux effects
(see note below for details on chain size limitations.) Insert effects are applied only to the current
program, while aux effects receive signal from all active programs’ aux sends.
A Note About Processor Power Allocation
Each effects Chain is composed of an effect-box or a series of effect-boxes. Each effect-box uses a
certain amount of the PC3LE’s effects processing power. The amount of processing power used
by a Chain reflects how complex the effect’s algorithm is—more complex effects require more
processing power. The processing (DSP) power needed for each Chain is represented by a
number of “DSP units.”
All insert and aux effects for the currently selected mode share the
PC3LE’s 10 available DSP units.
At the top right of the EFFECTS page, you can see how many DSP units are being used by the
selected Chain. The
left-hand number
is the DSP unit size of the selected Chain, and the
right-
hand number is the total number of DSP units being used by the program. If you exceed 10
DSP units when adding effects, no effects will be applied to the program
. The top right of the
EFFECTS page will display (Max 10) when you have exceeded the maximum number of 10
available DSP units.
The PC3LE’s 10 available DSP units are most often enough processing power for single
program, but if you use many programs with insert effects at once, you may have to remove
effects on one program in order to allocate more DSP units for other programs. If a chain is
selected for the Insert and/or Aux effect, but there are not enough DSP units available to load
the chain(s), the parameters for that chain or chains will be displayed as
Not available

PARAMETERS page (see page 6-9 for details on the PARAMETERS page.)
