Convenient functions

Setting the input mode

* Normally, the display will show three digits when using Decimal input mode. For this reason, there will
be no indication of the parameter you are now inputting, and you may lose track of what you are doing.
If this occurs, you can temporarily switch back to Hexadecimal mode to check the parameter you are
inputting. Then switch back to Decimal mode and continue.

Specifying the button mode

When you make Assign settings (p. 126) in Edit mode to assign a message to a button, you must
specify the operating mode of the button (button mode).
1. Press the [0] or [1] key to select either Latch mode or Toggle mode.
0
1
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
* When you use a button as a controller, turning the button on will transmit the maximum specified value,
and turning it off will transmit the minimum value.

If you are not in Play mode, you can use one of two ways to input a numerical value
into the PCR-30/50/80; Decimal input mode or Hexadecimal input mode.
If you want to input decimal numbers, press the [DECIMAL] button. If you want to
input hexadecimal numbers, press the [HEX] button. When you turn on the power,
the PCR-30/50/80 will start up in Decimal mode.
Decimal and hexadecimal numbers correspond as follows.
Decimal: ................................................................. 0–127
Hexadecimal: ......................................................... 00–7F
However, for MIDI CH and PROGRAM CHANGE, the values are as follows.
MIDI CH
PROGRAM CHANGE
Latch mode
Toggle mode
Decimal Hexadecimal
1–16 0–F
1–128 00–7F
The setting will turn on when you press the button, and off
when you release it. The button will remain lit while you are
pressing it.
The setting will alternate on/off each time you press the
button. The button will light when an On message is
transmitted, and will go dark when an Off message is
transmitted.
