Setting The Sound Location: Panpot; Changing The Volume; If Notes Are Stuck: Panic - Roland PC-300 Owner's Manual

to set the Chorus Send Level (Effect 3
Depth, CC93) of the receiving Part or
module.
Note: On a sound module other than a GS or
General MIDI module, the relevant parameter
may not correctly respond to CC93 messages.
Setting the sound location:
Panpot
When the module is connected in stereo,
this parameter determines the stereo
placement (L/R) of the individual sounds
produced. For the Drum Part (MIDI
channel 10), it shifts the overall stereo
placement of percussive instruments (the
overall orientation of the Drum Part on a
GS module).
1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See "Setting the MIDI transmit channel"
on page 11.
2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3. Press the black C#4 key (PANPOT) in
the DATA ENTRY ASSIGNMENT section
[7].
4. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
to set the Panpot value to be transmitted.
With the slider at the center, the sound
will be oriented in the center. When pulled
all the way forward, the sound will be
heard from the extreme right. When
pushed completely back, the sound will
come from the left.
Note: The Panpot settings work just the other
way around on modules such as the Roland
MT-32, TD-8, and certain others.

Changing the volume

This function allows you to adjust the vol-
ume level for the Part you are controlling.
1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See "Setting the MIDI transmit channel"
on page 11.
2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3. Press the black D#4 key (VOLUME).
4. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
to set the volume (CC07) of the part being
controlled.

If notes are stuck: Panic

The PC-300 also features a PANIC func-
tion that allows you to transmit a series of
MIDI messages that will silence the receiv-
ing instruments in case some notes go on
sounding forever:
1. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
2. Simultaneously press the white B4 and
C5 keys ("PANIC") [11].
This will cause the PC-300 to transmit so-
called "Reset" data:
• Note-off for all note numbers (0~127)
on all MIDI channels;
• Reset All Controllers on all MIDI chan-
nels.
