Settings (Edit Mode); Assigning Midi Messages On The Pcr Keyboard - Roland Edirol PCR-300 Owner's Manual

Settings (Edit mode)

The PCR-300/500/800 has a total of fifty controllers: [R1]–[R9], [S1]–[S9], [A1]–[A9], [B1]–[B9], [C1]–[C3], [L1]–[L4], [H1]–[H2], [P1]–[P2], [BEND], [MOD], and [AFTERTOUCH].
You can freely assign the MIDI message that will be transmitted by each of these controllers. You need to use Edit mode to make MIDI message assignments. This section explains how
to assign MIDI messages to the controllers using the PCR keyboard.
Alternatively, you can make these assignments using PCR Editor. For details, refer to Using PCR Editor (p. 14).
