Descriptions of Parameters
Setup Editor Parameters
5-11
Each zone in every setup has an independently-programmable set of Setup-Editor parameters;
when you change a value for one of these parameters, you’re affecting only the current zone in
the current setup (except for the Arpeggiator parameters, which affect the entire setup). Always
check to make sure you’ve selected the zone you want to edit before you make changes.
If you want to reprogram the internal setup, use the Setup Editor to edit Zone-1 parameters,
then save your changes to the internal setup, as described on page 3-23 and page 4-32.
Throughout this section, we’ll refer only to setup editing. Remember, however, that any changes
you make to Zone 1 in the Setup Editor can also be applied to the internal setup.
The MIDI Xmit Menu
The parameters in the MIDI Xmit menu control several aspects of the MIDI information that the
PC2R transmits to its sound engine, as well as to its MIDI Out ports.
By changing the value of the Dest parameter, you can make these parameters affect only the
PC2R, only external MIDI equipment, or both.
MIDI Channel
Determines which MIDI channel the current zone uses. Use a value of
Off
to disable a zone. In
the default setup, each zone corresponds to the zone number (Zone 1 uses Channel 1, Zone 2
uses Channel 2, and so on).
Destination (Dest)
Determines whether the zone transmits only to the PC2R, only to MIDI, or to both. The default-
setup value is both (
Local+MIDI
). If you set the value to
Local
, the zone plays only on the PC2R.
If you’re using the PC2R to control other instruments or to record to an external sequencer, use a
value of
MIDI
or
Local+MIDI
.
Bend Range, Semitones (BndRng ST)
Sets the number of semitones of pitch bend applied by any physical controller that sends either
the Pitch Up, Pitch Down, Pitch, or Rvrs Pitch MIDI Controller message, when that controller is
at its maximum. In the default setup, pitch bending is assigned to be controlled by the standard
Pitch Wheel on your MIDI source.
The value of this parameter gets added to the value of BndRng ct. You can think of BndRng ST
as a coarse adjustment, and BndRng ct as a fine adjustment. For example, if you want the
maximum amount of pitch bend to be slightly more than a whole note, set BndRng ST to
2
, and
BndRng ct to a relatively low number like
10
.
In the default setup, BndRng ST is
2
, and BndRng ct is
0
, so pushing the Pitch Wheel on your
MIDI source all the way up bends the pitch two semitones up, and pulling it all the way down
bends the pitch two semitones down.
Bend Range, Cents (BndRng ct)
Sets the number of cents (100ths of a semitone) of pitch bend applied by any physical controller
that sends either the Pitch Up, Pitch Down, Pitch, or Rvrs Pitch MIDI Controller message, when
that controller is at its maximum. The value of this parameter gets added to the value of
BndRng ST. In the default setup, BndRng ct is
0
.
