MIDI In
Determines how the PC2R handles MIDI information received at its MIDI In port. There are
three possible values:
Normal
The PC2R leaves the MIDI information unaltered. If the Thru/Out switch on the rear panel is set
to Thru, the PC2R passes the MIDI information to the MIDI Thru port.
Remap
Processes incoming MIDI information as if it had been generated by a four-channel MIDI
source: notes get rechanneled into four different zones, and sent to the MIDI Out port on the
MIDI channels corresponding to all the active zones. Any notes that lie in overlapping zones get
sent on
all
the corresponding channels. Channel numbers on incoming notes are ignored. Non-
note information (controllers, pitchbend, etc.) get sent on
all
active channels: for example, if the
four zones of a Setup are transmitting on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12, any Pitch Bend information
coming into the PC2R (on any channel) get sent on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12 simultaneously.
You won’t need to use this value often, since the remapping occurs by default in all three
performance modes (that is, the default value of
Auto
causes the remapping to occur
automatically in all performance modes). Still, you might want to use a value of
Remap
on
occasion—for example, in MIDI Receive mode, incoming MIDI information doesn’t get
remapped when the value of MIDI In is
Auto
. If you set MIDI In to
Remap
, incoming MIDI
information gets remapped to whatever channel is showing in the PC2R’s display. This is a
convenient way to audition a single channel.
Merge
Mixes incoming MIDI data with the data generated by the PC2R and sends the combined data
stream to the MIDI Out port. Channel numbers of incoming commands remain intact. Both note
and non-note messages get passed normally, but System Exclusive messages get filtered out. A
value of
Merge
doesn’t affect the behavior of the MIDI Thru port, if you’re using the MIDI
Thru/Out port.
Auto
The default. At this setting, the PC2R remaps incoming MIDI information when you’re in any
mode except MIDI Receive mode.
Wrap/Skip
This is a convenience feature. When Wrap/Skip has a value of
On
(the default), you won’t see
any unused program or setup IDs when you scroll through programs and setups. When
Wrap/Skip has a value of
Off
, you’ll see all unused program and setup IDs, in which case the
display shows
Not|Found
for those programs and setups.
Exit Save
Affects what happens when you exit an editor without saving. If the value if
Never
(the default),
the PC2R won’t prompt you to save your edits when you leave an editor (by pressing one of the
mode-selection buttons). In this case, the mode-selection button flashes, prompting you to select
a bank (or press the same button again to enter that mode on the last program or setup you were
using in that mode).
