Descriptions of Parameters
Global Mode Parameters
KB3 MIDI Chan
Specifies which channel can play KB3 programs (because they have special processing
requirements, KB3 programs are available on only one channel at a time). If you try to assign a
KB3 program to a channel that's not the KB3 channel, the program change won't take effect.
Tuning
You can tune the PC2R up or down one semitone, in one-cent increments. This can be useful if
you are playing along with a recording, or playing with other acoustic instruments that can't be
easily retuned. The default value is 0 cents.
Receive Transposition (Recv Trans)
This allows you to transpose the instrument globally, for all MIDI channels. The default value is
0 ST.
Bank-Select Controller (Bank Sel Ctl)
Determines how the PC2R responds to bank-select messages received at the MIDI In port. There
are four possible values:
0
32
0/32
0or32
AllNotesOff
If you set this to Ignore, the PC2R will ignore the MIDI All Notes Off message. Some
instruments and sequencers (notably older Roland instruments) will send this message when no
notes are being held, even if the sustain pedal is still held. If you are hooked to a Roland
controller or sequencer and find that the PC2R doesn't seem to sustain, set this parameter to
Ignore and the problem will go away.
The default value is Respond, which causes the PC2R to respond to All Notes Off messages.
Device ID
Sets the ID used by the PC2R for MIDI SysEx messages—which the PC2R uses for dumping
objects. The default value is 0.
If you always dump objects—programs, setups, or effects—to the same device and reload them
from that device, you won't have to worry about this parameter; just leave its value at 0 and
your dumps will work just fine. If you plan to dump objects to different objects in a MIDI chain,
however—or if you want to reload different dumps to different instruments in a MIDI
chain—you'll need to change the device ID for at least one instrument. See More About SysEx
Dumps on page 4-11.
5-40
Uses only MIDI Controller 0 as a bank-select command.
Uses only MIDI Controller 32 as a bank-select command.
Default value. Uses MIDI Controller 0 and 32 as a single combined bank-select
command, enabling selection of banks numbered from 0 to 16,383.
Responds to either MIDI Controller 0 or 32 as separate bank-select commands.
