I was surprised to find that these were not in the manual, or in the download of object lists from the Kurzweil site. All I'm hoping to find is:
1. A list of the Programs that includes the names of each keymap and effect chain that make up the program. This seems necessary, for at least a few Programs have elements that are not anticipated in the name--the Standard Grand, for example, includes two keymaps for violins for an old-fashioned piano and strings sound.
2. A list of the keymaps that explains the abbreviations by which they are named. Some, of course, are not difficult to interpret--I can see what "Piano f Left" is. But a few others are more obscure, such as "Db/Va Full L."
I've spent a few hours looking for these on the Kurzweil site and in Google, but to no avail. Thanks for any suggestions about where to look.
Toolbox (available to Cunka Subscribers) will allow you to inspect what makes up programs and setups. A guide for the PC3 is available at Cunka that shows all the detail, but I don't think Brian's done one for the LE yet (and likely won't), but might be worth asking as he may have already done one and I may have missed it. He's been pretty prolific while he's had the time.
As for the meaning of keymap names, I don't think that's available. Most keymaps are grouped, and you can work them out by listening and interpreting. If Db/Va Full L is a string program it's probably Double Bass/Viola Full (Section) Left as opposed to Solo.
Db could also be D flat, and Va could also be Virtual Analog.

Thanks. I'm new to the Kurzweil world, and lacking a software editor unless I buy the SoundTower program, feeling a little overwhelmed trying to keep track of the structure of each program. Its seems as though Toolbox will be helpful. (Now that the PC3LE has all of VAST, owners are cast into the same sea as owners of the PC3 in terms of understanding the organization of each program, and thus editing, although of course we cannot add samples.)
My main focus is simply the pianos. I'm wanting to extend the decay of that octave two octaves above middle C that so many people comment on and set up the knobs to control the usual piano parameters--the envelope and the filters. Seems as though I have at least a weekend's work ahead of me unless I do get the editing program. Then I'll have to see if I can create mapstemplates for the knobs that I can apply to any program.
Thank-you again.
