Control Setup Overview
The Control Setup is a Setup object edited and stored in Setup Mode but used by Program Mode.
The Control Setup defines the CC destinations for the PC3A’s physical controllers (wheels,
sliders, pedals, etc.) in Program mode. These assignments are the MIDI CC numbers that the
PC3A’s physical controllers send while in Program mode. Parameters in the Program Editor can
then be assigned to respond to these CC numbers. See the
Figure 6-2
below for a visual depiction
of the Control Setup’s role while in Program Mode. See the sections on
page 6-11
for details on
physical controller destinations and program parameter sources.
The programs in the PC3A factory ROM have parameters assigned to respond to the controller
destinations of the default Control Setup (
126 Internal Voices
). Therefore you’ll want to use
126 Internal Voices
as the Control Setup in most cases.
Note:
If you don’t use the default Control Setup, assigned parameters in the PC3A’s factory
ROM programs will probably not respond to the PC3A’s physical controllers. Don’t edit the
Control Setup unless you are an advanced MIDI user and know what you’re doing.
Advanced users may wish to use a different control setup if they need to send specific MIDI
controller numbers to the MIDI out port when in Program mode. You can also program several
different control setups and switch among them for different applications.
Table 6-4
below shows which pages and parameters in the Setup Editor of the Control Setup
have an effect on Programs in Program mode. Aside from assigning MIDI CC destinations for the
PC3A’s physical controllers, the Control Setup allows you to set other available parameters for
each physical controller, such as Scale, Curve, Add, and Switch Type
(see Continuous Controller
Parameters
on page 7-29
for details on these parameters.)
