selectedprogram.

1. In Program mode, choose the program you would like to edit, then press the Edit button to the left

of the display. This will bring you to the EditProg:PARAMETERS page.

2. From the EditProg:PARAMETERS page, press the FX soft button at the bottom right of the

display. This will bring you to the EditProg:FX page, where you can change the program’s two

effects chains. Each program can use up to two effects chains at once: an insert effect and an aux

effect (see The EFFECTS (FX) Page on page 6-13 for more details.) Almost all of the PC3LE’s

factory programs use a reverb or delay effects chain as the Aux effect, and the level of the effect

can be controlled by knob 5 (labeled Reverb) by default. The PC3LE’s factory programs use a

variety of effects chain types for the insert effect, ranging from subtle effects to those that

drastically change the program’s sound.

3. On the EditProg:FX page, the Insert field will be selected. Use the Alpha Wheel or - / + buttons to

change the insert effects chain and play some notes to hear the effect. You can also select an effects

chain by entering its ID# with the alphanumeric pad and pressing the Enter button, or choose no

effects chain by entering 0 with the alphanumeric pad and pressing the Enter button. Some insert

effects chains may require you to turn up a parameter in order to hear the effect. Most effect

parameters are automatically assigned to knobs. You can view and change parameter assignments

and values on the PARAMETERS page by pressing the PARAMS soft button at the bottom of the

display (see The PARAMETERS Page on page 6-9 for details.)

4. If changing the insert effects chain changes the program’s sound too drastically, try returning it to

the program’s original chain and change the aux effect instead. To change the aux effects chain, on

the EditProg:FX page use the cursor buttons to select the Aux field. Use the Alpha Wheel or - / +

buttons to change the aux effects chain and play some notes to hear the effect. You can also select

an effects chain by entering its ID# with the alphanumeric pad and pressing the Enter button, or

choose no effects chain by entering 0 with the alphanumeric pad and pressing the Enter button.

Change the level of the aux effects chain by using knob 5 (labeled Reverb.) With knob 5 turned

low, only a little of the sound processed by the effects chain will be blended in with the program. If

you turn knob 5 more than half way up, the majority of the program’s sound will be processed by

the aux effects chain.

5. When you are satisfied with the selected effects chains and parameter settings, press the Exit button

to save the edited program and return to the Program mode main page. When prompted to save the

program, press the Ye s soft button, followed by the Save soft button to save the program with the

same name under the lowest available user ID#. To learn how to rename the program or save it

under a different ID#, see Saving and Naming on page 5-3.
