Programming Your PC2R
Using the PC2R with Other Gear
Sending Program Changes Only
Imagine that you’re playing the PC2R from a keyboard controller, and playing another keyboard
at the same time. You want to use your keyboard controller to change programs on both the
PC2R and the second keyboard. You don’t want to send
note
information to the second
keyboard, however, since you’re actually playing the second keyboard (and not slaving it from
the PC2R). You can easily create a setup that sends program change information, but doesn’t
play notes on the second keyboard.
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode and select Setup
127
Clear Setup
.
2. Press
Copy
, then
Enter
. You have now copied a zone from this setup into the edit buffer.
3. Press
MIDI Setups
, then select Setup
128
Default Setup
. Press
Copy
, then press the
Right
cursor button. The display should now say
Paste|into|zone|1?
Press the
Zone 2
button, then
Enter
. (The display will say
Zone|pasted
, then revert back to
Paste|into|Zone|2?
)You have now pasted all the parameter values from Zone 1 of
Setup
128
into Zone 2 of Setup
127
.
4. Press
Edit
, then press
Enter
to enter the MIDI Xmit menu. Set the MIDI channels that you
want for Zones 1 and 2.
5. Press the
Right
cursor button to select the Dest parameter. Set the value for Zone 2 to
MIDI
.
6. Press
Zone 1
, and set the value of its Dest parameter to
Local
.
7. Press
Menu
, then find the Program menu and press
Enter
.
8. Select a program for Zone 1 and a program for Zone 2.
9. Press
Menu
, then find the Key Range menu and press
Enter
.
10. Make sure Zone 2 is current, then find the NoteMap parameter, and change its value to
Off
.
11. Name and save your setup.
Now when you call up the setup, it will send a program change to your second keyboard, but
since the note map for that zone (and therefore MIDI channel) is turned off, no note information
is sent to the external keyboard when you play your MIDI source.
This procedure is also an example of the Copy and Paste feature. You pasted all the settings and
assignments from the Clear Setup (which has all of its controllers disabled) into the setup you
were editing. This is a quick way to make sure that you don’t accidentally send controller
information to the second keyboard; if you had copied a zone with controller assignments, those
assignments would affect the second keyboard as well.
