Playing Your PC2R
The Front Panel
3-11
The Modes Region
The six buttons in the Modes region take you to various performance and editing modes.
Internal Voices
Press this button to get to Internal Voices mode from any performance or editing mode. Internal
Voices is the mode to use for playing Internal-Voice programs.
KB3
Press this button to get to KB3 mode from any performance or editing mode. KB3 mode offers
several programs that emulate the classic B-3 organ.
MIDI Setups
Press this button to get to MIDI Setups mode from any performance or editing mode. Use MIDI
Setups mode when you want to play programs on up to four different MIDI channels.
FX
The
FX
button takes you to the FX Routing menu in the edit mode that corresponds to your
current performance mode. For example, if you’re in MIDI Setups mode, pressing
FX
takes you
to the Setup Editor (the Zone Parameters menu).
From the FX Routing menu, you can assign a different effect to the current program or setup,
and you can edit the current effect. See page 4-28 for more information about editing effects.
MIDI Receive
This button takes you to MIDI Receive mode, where you can configure how the PC2R responds
to incoming MIDI information. The first time you enter MIDI Receive mode after powering up,
the display shows Channel 1, because the PC2R resets the MIDI Receive channel each time you
shut down. Until you shut down again, the PC2R tracks which channel you’re viewing even
after you’ve left MIDI Receive mode, so the next time you enter MIDI Receive mode, the display
shows the channel you were most recently viewing.
Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters for each channel. You can scroll beyond the
parameters for a given channel and move to the parameters for the next higher or lower
channel. A faster way to jump to a different channel is to select the Channel parameter (that is, to
move the cursor under the channel number), then use the Alpha Wheel to change channels. You
can press either
MIDI Receive
or
Cancel
to jump immediately to the Channel parameter.
Another navigation short cut is to press both cursor buttons at the same time. When you do this,
you jump to the corresponding parameter for the next higher channel (or back to Channel 1 if
you’re looking at channel 16).
