Programming Your PC2R
Effects Edit Mode
select manually apply to whatever program or setup you select, regardless of your performance
mode.
The value of FX Chg Mode resets automatically to Auto every time you turn on the PC2R.

Setting the Effects Change Mode

In many cases, you can leave both FX Chg Mode and FX Channel at their default settings (Auto
and 1). If you want the effect to change when you select programs on channels other than
Channel 1, set the value of FX Channel to match that channel (or set it to Current, so the effect
changes regardless of which channel you're on).There's one additional case in which you might
want to change the settings of FX Chg Mode and FX Channel.
Applying Effects Globally
Suppose you're in the studio, and you want to use the same reverb settings regardless of the
programs or setups you play. In this case, set FX Chg Mode to Panel, which prevents program
changes (either from the PC2R or via an external MIDI source) from changing any effects
settings. The only way to change the current effect is by changing it manually in Effects edit
mode.
There's another important point to remember about using Panel as the value for FX Chg Mode:
you can still edit the current set of effects, but you can't save them to the current program or
setup. Our explanation of Effects edit mode assumes that you have FX Chg Mode set to the
default setting of Auto.
See Effects Change Mode (FX Chg Mode) on page 5-38 for a more detailed description of
FX Chg Mode.

Entering Effects Edit Mode

You can get to Effects edit mode from any performance mode by pressing the FX button. Effects
edit mode is actually a special "subeditor" of your current performance mode—for example, if
you press FX while in Internal Voices mode, you end up at the FX Routing menu in the Program
Editor:
|||Sound|Parameters|||
|||<||FX|Routing||>
The top line of the display indicates that we've come from Internal Voices mode—you'd see
or
in the top line if you had come from KB3 mode or
KB3|Parameters
Zone|Parameters
MIDI Setups mode. (If you've changed the value of FX Chg Mode to Panel, the top line shows
Panel|FX|Params
regardless of where you started).
You can also get to Effects edit mode when you're in MIDI Receive mode, by pressing the FX
button. In this case the top line of the display shows
FX|Parameters
. To get back to MIDI
Receive mode, press MIDI Receive.
