Programming Your PC2R
Basic Editing Concepts
Negotiating Long Lists of Values
When a parameter has a long list of values, using a continuous controller to change the value
can be faster than using the Alpha Wheel.
This is especially useful within the Controllers menu in the Setup Editor, since for each
controller there are well over a hundred available values. The following example changes the
value of the Ctrl Num parameter.
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode if you aren't already there, and press Edit.
2. Hold Global, and move a controller on your MIDI source. You should see the Ctrl Num
3. Press and hold Enter, and move one of the continuous controllers on your MIDI source
This technique is convenient for moving quickly from one end of the list to the other. You can
then release the Enter button and use the Alpha Wheel to scroll through the list more precisely.
