Programming Your PC2R
The Setup Editor
4-23
8. Press the
Right
cursor button. The display shows a prompt asking if you want to paste to
Zone 1.
9. Press
Zone 3
, then
Enter
. The display shows
Zone|pasted!
and returns to the Paste
prompt.
10. Take a minute to save the setup as
133 Offset
. You’ll see why we chose that name in a
minute. Once you’ve saved, you’re no longer in the Setup Editor.
11. Now we’ll change the program assignment for Zone 3. Press
Edit
to enter the Setup
Editor, then press the
Right
cursor button until you see the Program menu. Press
Enter
.
12. Use the Alpha Wheel to select Program
016
Classic E Piano
.
13. Now we’ll change the wet/dry mix of the acoustic piano. Press
Zone 1
to make Zone 1
active.
14. Hold the
Global
button, and turn Knob
A
. Press the
Right
cursor button until you see the
Ctrl Offset parameter. Turn the Alpha Wheel to the left until the value is
–64
.
This sets an offset of -64 for Green Knob
A
in Zone 1. The offset uniformly subtracts 64
from the value of the slider (a
positive
offset would uniformly
add
to the value). When the
knob is all the way up, the value is (127 – 64) or 63. therefore, the acoustic piano will
always have a wet/dry mix that’s 64 lower than the electric piano.
15. Save again, replacing Setup
133
without renaming.
Now try playing some notes and adjusting Knob
A
(make sure the
Shift
LED is still
green). As you move the knob left to the midpoint, the Controller value of the wet/dry
mix for the electric piano is 64, and the value for the acoustic piano is 0 (64 – 64). In the
bottom half of the knob’s throw, you’ll hear chorus only on the electric piano.
Offset vs. Scale
There’s another way to adjust levels relative to each other that gives slightly different results.
1. Select Setup
133
if necessary, and make Zone 1 current, if it isn’t already.
2. Hold the
Global
button, and turn Knob
A
.
3. Press the
Right
cursor button until you see the Exit Value parameter for Green Knob
A
.
4. Press the
Left
cursor button once, to select the Ctrl Scale parameter. Set its value to
50%
.
This sets a scale of
50%
for the wet/dry mix.
Whereas an offset provides a uniform difference between the wet/dry mix for the acoustic and
electric pianos, scaling creates a proportional difference. As you turn Knob
A
to the left, the
difference in the wet/dry mix values between the two sounds gets smaller, until they meet at 0.
