Setting the input mode
fig.hexdec
If you are not in Play mode, you can use one of two ways to input a numerical
value into the PCR-A30;
Decimal input mode
or
Hexadecimal input mode
.
If you want to input decimal numbers, press the
[DECIMAL]
button. If you want
to input hexadecimal numbers, press the
[HEX]
button. When you turn on the
power, the PCR-A30 will start up in Decimal mode.
Decimal and hexadecimal numbers correspond as follows.
Decimal:.................................................................... 0–127
Hexadecimal:............................................................ 00–7F
However, for MIDI CH and PROGRAM CHANGE, the values are as follows.
* Normally, the display will show three digits when using Decimal input mode. For this reason, there will
be no indication of the parameter you are now inputting, and you may lose track of what you are doing.
If this occurs, you can temporarily switch back to Hexadecimal mode to check the parameter you are
inputting. Then switch back to Decimal mode and continue.
