Effects; Controlling Effects - Kurzweil PC2R Musician's Manual

the vibrato depth in the current program only if the PC2R were using the same MIDI channel as
your MIDI source—and if the program responded to MIDI 1.)
Suppose you want to use a different physical controller on your MIDI source to affect the vibrato
depth in Setup 001. Program that controller to send MIDI 1, and it will affect vibrato depth just
as the Mod Wheel does.
On the other hand, suppose you want to use the Mod Wheel (or any controller sending MIDI 1)
on your MIDI source to control something other than vibrato depth in Setup 001. To do this, go
to the Ctrl Num parameter for Red Knob B in each zone (because Red Knob B normally
responds to an incoming MIDI 1 message). Set the value of the Ctrl Num parameter to the MIDI
Controller message you want to send (10 Pan, for example). Now moving the Mod Wheel on
your MIDI source changes the pan position in every zone that has a value of 10 for the
Red Knob B Ctrl Num parameter. That's because the PC2R takes the incoming MIDI 1 message
(on any channel) and remaps it to MIDI 10 before sending it to the PC2R's sound engine.
Only those MIDI Controller messages listed in the table on page B-11 get remapped in this way.
Most of the remaining MIDI messages get sent to each zone in the setup without getting
remapped to the PC2R's internal controller messages. The following MIDI messages are ignored
completely while remapping is on: 54, 55, 56, 33, 34, 36, 43, 38, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, and 101.
Keep in mind that this is the default behavior. In other words, the default value of the MIDI In
parameter is Auto, which means that the PC2R automatically remaps incoming MIDI messages
when you're in any mode but MIDI Receive mode. If you don't want the remapping to occur, set
the value of MIDI In to Normal or Merge.)

Effects

The PC2R's digital multi-effects consist of two independent effects blocks called FX-A and FX-B.
The current program or setup determines whether the signal from the PC2R's sound engine
goes through either effect block (every program and every setup zone has a parameter called
Routing that determines whether the signal goes through FX-A, FX-B, or both).
You can use most of the PC2R's effects on FX-A. FX-B is primarily for reverbs (these reverbs are
also available for FX-A).

Controlling Effects

By default, most programs and setups use at least one of the effects blocks (the FX LED is lit),
which means that you hear some kind of effect along with the sounds. You can vary the effects
in real time by changing the wet/dry mix of FX-A and FX-B independently using MIDI
Controller messages. (When you're in Internal Voices mode, you can use Green Knobs A and B
to control the wet/dry mixes for most programs.)
Send the following MIDI Controller messages to the PC2R to change the wet/dry mix. A value
of 0 for one of these messages sets the mix level to fully dry (0%); a value of 127 makes the mix
fully wet (100%).

You can also change the wet/dry mix from the PC2R's front panel, using the FX Wet/Dry
parameters. See Wet/Dry Mix on page 3-17 for more information.
