3.1 INTRODUCTION<br />

MC 3000<br />

Operating Manual<br />

3. THE PROGRAM OPERATING MODE<br />

As already mentioned, this operating mode is automatically selected in switch-on. On<br />

many other keyboards, its equivalent is known as the Play mode, meaning that the<br />

keyboard is ready to be played. The keyboard also plays in the other modes, but the<br />

program and chain modes are the typically "live" modes, because they allow the<br />

immediate change of the patches prepared for the various musical and instrumental<br />

contexts.<br />

3.2 TOP PAGE<br />

The first page which appears when the PLAY mode is accessed, and therefore also at<br />

switch-on, is the TOP PAGE<br />

Available Functions<br />

This page contains all the information necessary during performance of a song. The<br />

centre of the display shows the name of the bank and the number and name of the patch<br />

being played, with a comments field of 24 letters.<br />

In the top of the screen, we find the name of the page and the current operating mode,<br />

while the box in the top right-hand corner indicates the activation status of the 8 zones in<br />

that patch; the solid circles indicate the active zones which are being played, while the<br />

empty ones show the active zones not being played, and the zones surrounded by<br />

dotted lines are in standby mode. No icons appear for the zones not active in that<br />

patch; if only 4 zones are active in that patch, only 4 circles will appear, solid, empty or<br />

with dotted lines depending on the conditions described above. At the bottom of the<br />

screen there are rectangles indicating the pages of the Program mode. Here again, the<br />

page selected, and thus the rectangle selected, is indicated by reverse lighting.<br />

All the data input devices, such as the encoder, the INC and DEC keys and the numerical<br />

keypad are enabled for patch selection; if the keypad is used a message on the display<br />

will show the sequence of data entered with regard to the patch number and bank.<br />

Remember that selections made from the numerical keypad must be confirmed by<br />

pressing ENTER.<br />
