PCR-1 Orchestral Program Information
General Program Notes
The PCR-1 programs are in Bank 2 (Exp1), and are numbered
from 000 to 127.
Most programs respond to common MIDI controller
numbers (like 7 Volume, 64 Sustain, 66 Sostenuto, and
67 Soft). When a program has a different response to one or
more common controller, the controller information for the
program (beginning on page 17) indicates the program's
response.
Strings
For programs whose names include prs, you can control
vibrato rate and depth with Mpress or Mod Wheel.
Programs whose names include vib have built-in vibrato.
Programs whose names include p/v also have a certain
amount of built-in vibrato; for these programs you can
increase the vibrato rate and depth with Mpress and Mod
Wheel.
Woodwinds
Programs whose names include solo are designed primarily
for single-line playing. Programs with ens in their names are
designed for playing polyphonically or for single lines in an
ensemble context. Unless otherwise indicated, Mpress and
Mod Wheel control the vibrato of solo programs. Ensemble
programs have built-in vibrato, which you can increase with
Mpress and Mod Wheel.
For programs whose names include slow, we recommend
using the Expression control (MIDI 11) to fade long notes.
GM Drum Kits
There are eight GM drum programs, which are stored in
Bank 7. These programs are always available (even if you
have installed only the Orchestral program set). When you're
in GM mode, the GM drum program change numbers get
remapped to comply with the GM specification. They return
to their normal program change numbers when you turn GM
