Table 7-1 Zone Status in Setup Mode
Remember that any changes you make to zone status in Setup mode are temporary; as soon as
you select another setup, that setup’s programmed zone status takes over. To change a setup’s
zone status permanently, use the Setup Editor (see
Status
on page 7-6
).
Soloing a Zone
To solo a zone, set the Status parameter on the Setup Editor CH/PROG page (see
The Setup Editor
and
The Channel/Program (CH/PROG) Page
below) to
Solo
. The
Chan/Layer
buttons—in addition
to scrolling through the zones of the current setup—now select the soloed zone. If you scroll
through zones 1-8, you will see the red solo LED moving across the bank buttons above the
sliders. After one zone is soloed, you can solo zones 1-8 by pressing on the corresponding Bank
button above the sliders; this action unsolos the previously soloed zone.
Additionally, you can configure a setup such that you can solo zones in real time (from outside of
the editor) by assigning a controller on the desired zone to destination
162
SoloZn
. See
Controllers
on page 7-19
for more information on controller destination assignments in Setup mode.
The Setup Editor
From Setup mode, press the
Edit
button to enter the Setup Editor, where you can make changes
to the currently selected setup. Use the soft buttons to select the various Setup Editor pages. The
upper line of each page displays the usual mode reminder, as well as the current Setup Editor
page, and the current zone. Use the
Chan/Layer
buttons to select one of up to sixteen different
zones, each having its own set of Setup Editor pages.
The parameters on the Setup Editor pages define what each of a setup’s zones sends—both to
internal programs and to the MIDI Out port. They also determine how the PC3A responds to
MIDI signals received from a MIDI controller connected to the PC3A’s MIDI In port (when the
Local Keyboard Channel matches the transmit channel of your MIDI controller).
Compare
Pressing the
Storage
button calls up the Compare Editor, which recalls the setup pre-edit
settings, allowing you to compare your edited setup with the original setup. Pressing the
Storage
button again returns you to the Setup editor. Using the Compare Editor makes no changes to the
current setup.
