J.F.N. Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I just bought some patches, and after I loaded them into my PC3 I see that they have a little star in front ot the patch number/name, what does this mean?

Delaware Dave Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Delivered sound (program 1-1024) that you customized by changing something about it (a parameter change). 1 Quote 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I have a PC361 and generally if you modify one of the first ~1,000 factory programs, it gets an asterisk in front of the name.

J.F.N. Posted May 31 Author Share Posted May 31 Okay, I chose."Append" when importing and the sounds were distributed on patch numbers that were empty (there's a bunch around 700-800ish). But I guess the star is then displayed as these are not factory presets. 1 Quote "You live every day. You only die once." Where is Major Tom? - - - - - PC3, HX3 w.

UnderGroundGr Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 This is something common in Kurzweil synths when you over wright a factory preset. If you delete it, the factory preset reappears...

Tom Williams Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I wish the asterisk overwrite had been kept in the next generation. The current inability to overwrite factory patches and tweak factory combinations on PC4 (and I assume Forte and K27) is very frustrating for us synth customization types. Yes, I know about you-know-what mode, but it pisses off the Australians whenever I mention it. 🙂 1 Quote -Tom Williams {First Name} {at} AirNetworking {dot} com PC4-7, PX-5S, AX-Edge, PC361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current inability to overwrite factory patches and tweak factory combinations on PC4 (and I assume Forte and K27) is very frustrating for us synth customization types. I bought a Forte a few months ago and recently discovered this quirk that is different than the PC3 series .... more frustrating with multis, if you have a multi and using a zone that is a standard patch and you want to make a tweak to that particular program you have to then create a user program and then put the user program into the multi and remove the standard program. Unnecessary extra steps. Off topic note, 95% of my shows in the summer are outdoors. On the Forte the dimly lit display (and small font) is literally impossible to see until the sun goes down. I actually prefer the PC3's ancient display. 1 Quote 57 Hammond B3; 69 Hammond L100P; 68 Leslie 122; Kurzweil Forte7 & PC3; M-Audio Code 61; Voce V5+; Neo Vent; EV ELX112P; GSI Gemini & Burn Delaware Dave Exit93band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YashN Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Here's a fun thing to ponder on: Tim Shoebridge nearly sells his PC3x or maybe he did, but when he made a video of checking it out one last time, he just mentions 'for Orchestra', as if there isn't one of the most powerful synths inside... 1 Quote Kurzweil K2500XS + KDFX, Roland: JX-3P, JX-8P, Korg: Polysix, DW-8000, Alesis Micron, DIY Analogue Modular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
