Control Setup
This is where you select the current control setup, Zone 1 of which sets the physical controller
assignments for all programs while you’re in Program mode. This parameter does not apply to
Setup mode. Refer to
Control Setup
on page 6-9
for more information on the control setup.
Destination
The Destination parameter tells the PC3A which ports will carry MIDI information, and
determines if the PC3A’s sound engine will receive MIDI data. Select the desired destination or
any combination of destinations depending on your needs. For example, a value of
Local
disables the USB and MIDI Out ports. Use this setting when you want to play the PC3A, but not
to send any MIDI information to other MIDI instruments (local control only.) Alternatively, you
would set this parameter to
MIDI
or
USB_MIDI
if you only wanted to send MIDI data to other
MIDI instruments from the MIDI port or USB port, and no MIDI data would be sent locally to the
PC3A’s sound engine. A value of
MIDI+Local
would send MIDI data only to the MIDI out port
and the PC3A’s sound engine.
For Setup mode, this parameter acts as a final filter for which ports will send MIDI information.
For example, if this parameter is set to
MMIDI
, and a setup zone has its Destination
parameter set to
MIDI
+
Local
on the SetupMode:CH/PRG page, MIDI data will be sent only
through the traditional MIDI port. Both parameters, MIDI Xmit Destination and the setup
Destination parameter in the SetupMode:CH/PRG page act as filters and both are active in Setup
mode.
Note:
This parameter has no effect on Song mode. In Song mode each track’s destination ignores this
parameter.
Channel
This defines which MIDI channel the PC3A uses to transmit MIDI messages when not using a
setup or Song mode (each zone determines this in a setup, each track determines this in a song.)
The value for this parameter matches the current MIDI channel displayed on the top line of the
Program mode page. If you change the current MIDI channel while in Program mode, the setting
of this parameter changes accordingly, and vice versa.
Transpose
This parameter affects the transposition that’s applied to the MIDI data stream. Adjusting this
parameter transposes the PC3A’s notes, as well as notes on slaves receiving from the PC3A. This
transposition setting mirrors transposition settings from the Program and Setup main pages. It’s
value is added to transposition settings made elsewhere. This parameter has no effect on MIDI
data sent from Song mode.
