Setup Mode
Controllers
Any
MIDI
Controller can be used as the assignment for any
physical
controller (and for multiple
physical controllers, as well). Or in other words, any physical controller like the Mod Wheel can
be programmed to send any MIDI control signal. In addition, each controller in each setup zone
can be tweaked just like keyboard velocity (or any other Setup-mode parameter). Although
controller editing on the PC3A can be somewhat complex, it can also be very rewarding.
To get an idea of the expressive capabilities of Setup mode, explore the factory setups that come
with the PC3A.
The PC3A’s physical controllers include the following:
•
The nine sliders (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I) in the Assignable Controllers section
•
The two Continuous Control Pedal jacks (CC Pedal 1 and CC Pedal 2)
• The optional Ribbon Controller, which you can define as a one- or three-section controller
•
The Pitch Wheel
•
The Modulation Wheel (Mod Wheel)
•
Keyboard aftertouch, or Mono Pressure (MPress)
•
The optional Breath Controller (which is connected to Continuous Controller Pedal 2)
•
The two Panel Switches above the Pitch and Mod Wheels and Program Buttons 1–8
•
The three Footswitch pedal jacks (1, 2, and 3)
The following tables provide an overview of the physical controllers and their parameters.
