Multiple Controller Function - Kurzweil PC2R Musician's Manual

Programming Your PC2R
The Setup Editor
Setting Exit Values
Suppose that you're using Setup 132 in a performance, and you finish a tune by fading out the
chorus with Knob A. Its MIDI Controller value is now 0, and will stay at 0 until you turn the
knob again (or until something else changes the value).
Unless, of course, you reset Channel 1's wet/dry mix somehow. That's where exit values come
in; they let you specify MIDI Controller values when you leave a setup. We recommend that you
get in the habit of setting exit values for physical controllers whenever you set entry values.
This is less of a problem for some controllers, like volume and wet/dry controls, since the PC2R
has default entry values for these controllers. It's just something to keep in mind when you're
creating your own setups.
Let's revisit Setup 132, and specify some exit values.
1. Select Setup 132. We'll assume that Zone 1 is current.
2. Press Edit.
3. Press Shift one or more times, if necessary, to make the Shift LED green.
4. Hold the Global button, and turn Knob A.
5. Press the Right cursor button until you see the Exit Value parameter for Green Knob A.
6. Set a value of 127 (wet/dry mix of 100%).
7. Save the setup, this time replacing Setup 132 without renaming it.

Here's your next scenario: You want to add a layer of electric piano to Setup 132, and you want
Green Knob A to control the wet/dry mix of the effects for both the acoustic and the electric
piano. But you want the acoustic piano's mix to be dryer than the electric piano's mix at all
times.
1. Select Setup 132. First, we'll bring the entry value of the piano's chorus back up to 127.
2. Make sure Zone 1 is current, then enter the Setup Editor and select the Entry Value
3. Make Zone 3 the current zone (press Zone 3). Note that the Zone 3 LED is off, indicating
