Programming Your PC2
Basic Editing Concepts
Data Entry
When you see the parameter you want to edit (or when the cursor is highlighting its value), use
one of the data entry methods to change the value. As with selecting programs and setups, there
are three ways to do this:
Alpha Wheel
The large dial in the Data Entry region of the PC2Õs front panel.
You can turn it in either direction without limit.
Minus and Plus buttons
Directly under the Alpha Wheel, these buttons (labeled
Ð
and
+
)
decrease or increase the parameterÕs value by one increment.
Hold the button to repeat.
Alphanumeric buttonpad
Enter the value by pressing the corresponding numbered
buttons, then press
Enter
. For example,
3
6
Enter
changes the
value to
36
.
+/Ð 3 6 Enter
changes the value to
-36
(not the
Plus
or
Minus
button, but the button under the
7
). You can change a
value to negative or positive by pressing
+/Ð
any time before
pressing
Enter
.
When using the buttonpad, you can change the value again before pressing
Enter
. Press
Clear
to
reset the value to
0
, or press
Cancel
to return to the previous value.
There are several short cuts for data entry that are easy to learn and much faster than the three
methods weÕve described here. We call these methods intuitive entry, because they take a very
common-sense approach to entering data. Turn to page 4-5 for a full description.
Naming and Storing
Storing (saving) is optional, of course. If you donÕt want to store any of your changes, press
Cancel
one or more times to return to the mode you were in before you started editing.
Although naming is obviously optional as well, weÕll assume youÕre going to name the object
youÕre editing before storing it.
This procedure describes storing a setup, so it assumes that youÕre in MIDI Setups mode. The
process is similar for naming and storing other objects.
1. Press
Store
(in the Functions group of buttons). The display will show either
Save|Setup|NNN?
or
Replace|Setup|NNN?
where
NNN
is the setup ID.
¥
If youÕre in the Internal bank of setups, the display will show
Save|setup|NNN?
where
NNN
is the Þrst available setup ID in the User bank of setups.
¥
If youÕre in the User bank, the display will show
Replace|setup|NNN?
where
NNN
is the ID of the current setup. Use any data entry method to change the ID if you want
to save a new setup instead of replacing the current one.
2. Press
>
to display
Rename|setup|NNN?
3. Press
Yes
(
Enter
). The display shows the name of the current setup, if any. The cursor
highlights the character thatÕs selected for editing.
4. Use any data entry method to change the current character. The alphanumeric buttonpad
is the quickest way. Press the corresponding button one or more times for the desired
characterÑfor example, press 1 three times for
C
. Use the
UPPER/lower
button to change
the case of the current character. Press
0
one or more times to enter numerals. Press the
