PC3 Program Sustain

Recommended Posts

I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance to modify a program. I have a synth patch on my Kurzweil PC3 that I would like to modify so that when I release the key rather than the note just turning off it will sustain and trail off similar to a piano patch. But without using the sustain pedal. I have a patch on my PC1Se that does this and I find it's great when I'm jumping between guitar and a keyboard fill. Trying to replicate that effect on my PC3 has turned out to be more challenging than I anticipated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How often would this event occur, every key that is pressed or only when moving from one program to another program? And what if you are playing a chord, all three notes or just one note? Your requirements aren't clear so the solution would vary depending on your requirements. Did you analyze the PC1's program to figure out how it works there?

I did try to see how the PC1 is configured to copy the settings but it's very limited in customizing a program so no luck. Hopefully I can add some clarity to the request. This is specifically for playing the song Band on the Run. I'm playing both the guitar fills and the keyboard fills at the beginning of the song so using a synth patch. No chords, just playing the fill. Having the last note I play sustain and fade off allows me a bit more time to get back to the guitar. I wouldn't even have thought to do this if there wasn't already a program on the PC1 that does it.

You'd need to edit the release parameters in the sound layers. I do this with basses on the PC4 a lot so I do not need the sustain pedal, but gives them a little more "finish" so the notes are not so abrupt when stopped.

There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

That did the trick. Thanks so much for your help. Really appreciate it.
