Color-Coded Labeling

Most of the buttons to the right of the display are labeled in a single color: white. These buttons
have similar or related functions in most performance and editing modes.
Most of the buttons and knobs in the Performance region, however, are labeled with more than
one color, or with more than one function. These multi-purpose buttons and knobs do different
things depending on which mode you're in. The color of the labeling in the Performance region
corresponds to the color of the labeling of the mode-selection buttons: white corresponds to
Internal Voices mode, orange corresponds to KB3 mode, and blue corresponds to MIDI Setups
mode.
For example, there's a button labeled Solo in white, and Rotary fast/Slow in orange. In Internal
Voices mode, this button (Solo) switches to AutoSplit mode and solos the current zone.When
you're in KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow rotary effects for the current
KB3 program. Any button with labeling in more than one color has different functions in
different performance modes.

The Display (LCD)

The display looks quite different in each mode, so we'll show you examples of each.
Internal Voices Mode
When you turn on your PC2R, the display should look like this:
Bank ID
Bank:0||Internal||1A
000|Stereo Grand|
This is Internal Voices mode, where the PC2R always starts when you turn it on (to get to
Internal Voices mode from another mode, press the Internal Voices button). The top line gives
you information about the bank, while the bottom line shows the ID and name of the current
program.
KB3 Mode
Press the KB3 Mode button to enter KB3 mode; the display changes to something like this:
Bank ID
Program ID
4:000|All Out||||||
P:888888885|CV:Chor1
