page B-11 there's a table that shows the MIDI Controller messages to send from your MIDI
source when you want to simulate moving the knobs on the PC2R's front panel.
Entry Volume
Sets the volume level of the zone when you select the setup, by sending a MIDI Controller 7
message with the value you specify. You can set a value of None to prevent the message from
being sent when you select a setup.

The Controllers Menu: Continuous Controller Parameters

There are fourteen controllers in the continuous-controller group:
Wheel 1 Up
Wheel 1 Down
Red Knob B
Mono Pressure (MPressure)
Green Knob A
Green Knob B
Green Knob C
Green Knob D
Each of the controllers in this group has the following six parameters.
MIDI Controller Number (Ctrl Num)
Determines which MIDI Controller message the physical controller sends—either to the PC2R's
sound engine or to the MIDI Out port(s). For example, Knob A (when the Shift LED is green)
affects the effects mix in many factory setups because the value of its Ctrl Num parameter for
one or more zones in those setups is set to 91 FXBWet, 92 FXABWet, or 93 FXAWet. If you
changed the Ctrl Num value for Green Knob A in one of the zones, it would control something
different.
Controller Scale (Ctrl Scale)
Amplifies or diminishes the action of the controller. The normal unscaled value is 100%. Higher
values make the controller more sensitive; lower values make it less sensitive. Setting the scale
to a negative value makes the controller work in reverse. You can make a controller crossfade its
behavior between two zones by assigning the same Ctrl Num value for both zones, then setting
Ctrl Scale to a positive value in one zone, and a negative value in the other.
Controller Offset (Ctrl Offset)
Adds or subtracts a constant to the controller, and depending on the value, sets minimum or
maximum values. For example, if the value of Ctrl Offset is 25, the minimum value of the MIDI
Controller message sent by the controller is 25. If Ctrl Offset is -25 (and Ctrl Scale is 100%) the
first one-fifth of the controller's movement (25/127, which is about 1/5) won't do anything, and
the maximum value of the MIDI Controller message sent by the controller is 102 (127-25).
