Playing Your PC2R
The Front Panel
3-7
MIDI Setups Mode
Press the
MIDI Setups
button to enter MIDI Setups mode, and the display looks like this:
The setup ID usually begins with
S
to indicate that you’re playing a setup—although in Setups
that have the AutoSplit feature turned on, the
S
is replaced by a caret (
^
). Notice that the bank
index is a
letter
followed by a
numeral
, which is the opposite of the way the bank index looks in
Internal Voices mode. This is convenient if you’re controlling the PC2R from a PC2, because you
can use the
Group
button on the PC2 to select a group of setups, then use the
Sound Select
buttons to select one of the 16 setups in that group.
The Performance Region
Depending on how you use your PC2R, you may control it more from your MIDI source than
from the PC2R’s front panel. Still, we’ve tried to organize the front panel so that everything you
might need in a performance situation is easy to reach, and separate from the programming
functions.
There are two rows of buttons and knobs in the Performance region. Their functions vary
depending on your performance mode.
Solo
In either Internal Voices mode or MIDI Setups mode, pressing this button turns on the solo
feature (if you’re in Internal Voices mode, the PC2R switches to AutoSplit mode—a special
performance configuration of MIDI Setups mode.). When the
Solo
feature is on, (that is, when
its LED is lit), pressing one of the
Zone
buttons
solos
that zone, so you hear that zone only. See
page 3-21 for more about muting and soloing.
In KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow rotary effects (if any) for the current
program.
Main
In Internal Voices mode, this button takes you to AutoSplit mode—a special performance and
editing configuration of MIDI Setups mode. In this case, the
Zone 2
–
Zone 4
buttons add splits
or layers, as indicated (see page 3-18 for more information about layering and splitting).
In KB3 mode, this button turns the percussion effect on or off for the current program.
In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 1 for viewing or editing. Press it again to
mute/unmute the zone.
