System Parameters
5-35
Digital Output Width (DigOut Width)
Determines the size, in bits, of the digital ÒwordsÓ that the PC2 sends to the digital outs. Choose
between 16-bit, 18-bit, 20-bit, or 24-bit digital word lengths. Set this to match the input digital-
word-length conÞguration of your recording or processing equipment.
Digital Output Level (DigOut Level)
You can control the output level with the Master Volume Slider (a value of
Slider
), disable it
with a value of
Off
, or Þx it at any level from
-79 dB
to
+24 dB
.
Digital Output Shaping (DigOut Shaping)
By default, this parameterÕs value is
On
, which ÒshapesÓ the digital audio output, providing a
smoother noise ßoor. If youÕre sending the PC2Õs digital output to another digital device for
further processing, you may want to set the value of this parameter to
Off
, especially if the other
device applies its own shaping.

Reset PC2?
Not a parameter but a prompt to execute a hard reset. Press
Yes
, and youÕll see a prompt asking
you if youÕre sure. The prompt prevents you from executing a hard reset inadvertently. A hard
reset erases all RAM, and restores all programs, setups, effects, and global parameters to their
original factory settings.

Not a parameter but a prompt to initiate a SysEx dump of all programs, setups, and effects.
