MC 3000
Operating Manual
86
Once the group required is displayed, the chosen patch can be selected using the cursor
keys or the encoder, and as soon as the choice is confirmed with ENTER the instrument
switches to the desired patch, which will appear with its TOP PAGE
The usefulness of the LIST page lies in the rapid consultation it allows. For example, if we
do not remember the number to which we have associated the patch required, instead of
scrolling through them one by one in the TOP PAGE, the patches can be displayed in
groups of ten at a time. Note that the patch being played remains active even during the
location process, until ENTER is pressed.
3.4 VIEW
F3, below the rectangle marked VIEW on the display, can be pressed from the previous
page or any other page in the program mode to select the VIEW PAGE. In this page, the
name of the page, the current operating mode and the number of the selected patch
appear in the top of the display.
This page shows the setup of the splits and layers relating to the current patch.
Each letter which appears on the right and left of the display under the image of the
keyboard represents a zone, and each of these is associated to a line which informs us of
the key range of that specific zone, or in other words the region of notes which the zone
covers. Any zone overlaps or layers are immediately visible in this window.
Let us suppose we have a patch with 4 zones active, each of which associated to a
different MIDI channel and Program Change, so basically we have 4 different instruments
available on the keyboard. When the VIEW PAGE is accessed, we can immediately see
where these instruments are positioned, and the placing of any layers. One possible
video page is shown below:
By scrolling over the letters representing the zones using the cursor keys or the encoder,
the user can display the key range of the selected zone in detail on the rectangle marked
"current range" in the centre of the lower part of the display.
Selection of zone A and detailed information about its key range.
