PCXP1 and PCXP2
On instruments that have the PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion Kit installed, this parameter
indicates whether Expansion Sound Cards 1 and/or 2 are properly installed on the PCX-1
board. If you've installed either Expansion Sound Card and the corresponding parameter still
has a value of No , you may have a problem with the installation of that Sound Card.
New KB3 Parameters
There are several new KB3-editing parameters (which were first introduced in Version 1.5). They
correspond to the front-panel buttons that control many of the KB3 effects (like chorus, vibrato,
and rotary speed). You can still change these effects in KB3 mode using the front-panel buttons,
but you can also change the effects from within the KB3 Editor.
The following table shows the new parameters, their possible values, and their corresponding
front-panel buttons.

New Value for MIDI In Parameter
The MIDI In parameter, which is in the Global menu, has a new value: Auto . This is the default
value.You might want to use this value if you're controlling your PC2 from an external MIDI
source like a sequencer. In this case, whenever you're in Internal Voices mode, KB3 mode, or
MIDI setups mode, certain incoming MIDI messages get remapped to different Controller
numbers. (This enables the PC2 to respond more accurately to standard MIDI Controller
messages.) In MIDI Receive mode, incoming MIDI information does not get remapped when
MIDI In is set to Auto .
