Programming Your PC2R
The Setup Editor
Setting Exit Values
Suppose that you’re using Setup
132
in a performance, and you finish a tune by fading out the
chorus with Knob
A
. Its MIDI Controller value is now 0, and will stay at 0 until you turn the
knob again (or until something else changes the value).
Unless, of course, you reset Channel 1’s wet/dry mix somehow. That’s where exit values come
in; they let you specify MIDI Controller values when you
leave
a setup. We recommend that you
get in the habit of setting exit values for physical controllers
whenever
you set entry values.
This is less of a problem for some controllers, like volume and wet/dry controls, since the PC2R
has default entry values for these controllers. It’s just something to keep in mind when you’re
creating your own setups.
Let’s revisit Setup
132
, and specify some exit values.
1. Select Setup
132
. We’ll assume that Zone 1 is current.
2. Press
Edit
.
3. Press
Shift
one or more times, if necessary, to make the
Shift
LED green.
4. Hold the
Global
button, and turn Knob
A
.
5. Press the
Right
cursor button until you see the Exit Value parameter for Green Knob
A
.
6. Set a value of
127
(wet/dry mix of 100%).
7. Save the setup, this time replacing Setup
132
without renaming it.
Multiple Controller Function
Here’s your next scenario: You want to add a layer of electric piano to Setup
132
, and you want
Green Knob
A
to control the wet/dry mix of the effects for both the acoustic and the electric
piano. But you want the acoustic piano’s mix to be dryer than the electric piano’s mix at all
times.
1. Select Setup
132
. First, we’ll bring the entry value of the piano’s chorus back up to
127
.
2. Make sure Zone 1 is current, then enter the Setup Editor and select the Entry Value
parameter for Green Knob
A
. Set its value to
127
.
3. Make Zone 3 the current zone (press
Zone
3
). Note that the
Zone 3
LED is off, indicating
that the zone is inactive, which we don’t want.
4. Press
Menu
to exit the Controllers menu. Press the
Left
cursor button until you see the
MIDI Xmit menu. Press
Enter
.
5. Change the value of the MIDI Channel parameter to 3. Press
Zone 3
to unmute the zone, if
necessary. The
Zone 3
LED should now be green. Now we’re ready to add the electric
piano. Since Zone 3 is going to be almost identical to Zone 1 (except for the program and
entry effect mix), we’ll save time by copying Zone 1 and pasting it into Zone 3.
6. Press
Copy
. The display shows a prompt asking you if you want to copy Zone 3 (because
Zone 3 is the current zone). You don’t want to copy
Zone 3
; you want to copy
Zone 1
.
7. Press
Zone 1
, then
Enter
. The display shows
Zone|copied!
and returns to the Copy
prompt. (This makes Zone 1 the current zone, by the way.)
