In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 2 for viewing or editing.

Split

In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a new 
sound below a preset split point.

In KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow decay for the percussion effect (if any) 
for the current program.

Split Layer

In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a layer to 
the sound below the split point.

In KB3 mode, this button switches between high and low pitch for the percussion effect (if any) 
for the current program.

In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 4 for viewing or editing.

In any performance mode, pressing 

Split

 and 

Split Layer

 together is an editing shortcut that 

displays the AutoSplit Key parameter. You can then use the Alpha Wheel to change the 
AutoSplit key (or hold down the

 button and play a note on your MIDI source). Press 

Cancel

 to return to your performance mode.

Shift

The 

Shift

 button controls the functions of Knobs

 (described below). Each time you press 

Shift

, its LED changes color—from green to amber to red. Each of these states causes 

Knobs 

A

D 

to have a different set of functions. The default functions of the knobs depend on 

your performance mode (they do different things in each mode). You can program them for 
different functions as well.

Knobs A–D

In Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode, Knobs 

A

–

D

 control various program 

characteristics, as defined by a series of parameters in the Controllers menu in the Setup Editor. 
Remember that controller assignments in Internal Voices mode are defined by the internal setup, 
which you can edit in AutoSplit mode (which is a subset of the Setup Editor)—while in Internal 
Voices mode, press 

Main
