KB3 Program Structure
In normal operational modes, using the Mute buttons to change a program’s KB3 effects doesn’t affect the program; the effects return to their programmed settings the next time you select the program. If, however, you’re in an editor when you change the effects, you’re actually editing the program. If you like the changes, you can save the program with the new KB3 effects settings. If you don’t like the changes, you can exit without saving, and the program will revert to its previous settings.
The Mute buttons also send MIDI Controller information to the PC3K’s MIDI Out port. See Column 2 of Table 6‐3 to check which Controller numbers the buttons send.
Of course, you can change the programmed settings for the KB3‐mode buttons. For each of the buttons, there’s a corresponding parameter in the Program Editor. 1

KB3 Mode Buttons and Corresponding Parameters
MIDI Control of KB3 Programs
When you’re playing a KB3 program from an external MIDI source, there are two things to keep in mind:
•
Certain MIDI Controller numbers always control specific KB3 features
•
The value of the LocalKbdCh parameter affects how KB3 programs respond to MIDI Controller messages
Controller Numbers
Table 6‐3 lists the MIDI Controller numbers that control KB3 features. The first column lists the Controller numbers that KB3 programs always respond to (the PC3K also sends these Controller numbers to its MIDI Out port when you’re using the local keyboard channel—we’ll say more about that on page 6‐7).
