Using the PCR-A30 as a MIDI controller

Advanced modes 3 and 4

Advanced mode 3 lets you assign the Program Change Decrement function (

PC DEC

) to a

controller.
Advanced mode 4 lets you assign the Program Change Increment function (

PC INC

) to a controller.

Press the

[EDIT]

button.

Slightly move the controller to which you want to assign Program Change DEC/INC. In the case
of a button, press that button.
The display will indicate the number of the selected controller.

Confirm what’s indicated, and press the

[ENTER]

button.

Press the

[PROGRAM CHANGE]

key and then press key

[3]

[4]

Press the

[ENTER]

button.

Program Change Decrement function (PC DEC)

This transmits a program change that is one less than the previously transmitted program
change number.

Program Change Increment function (PC INC)

This transmits a program change that is one greater than the previously transmitted program
change number.
The

PC DEC

PC INC

is transmitted on the current channel, just as in

“Program Change

Mode (PROGRAM CHANGE)”

(p. 48). The value that is actually transmitted will appear in the

display.

* In the explanation here, the “previously transmitted program number” refers to the one that was last

transmitted by Advanced Mode 3 or 4 or in

“Program Change Mode (PROGRAM CHANGE)”

(p.

48).

* Program changes transmitted by basic mode or advanced modes 1 and 2 will not affect the

increment/

decrement

functions.
