Master Mode
MIDI Receive (RECV)
All Notes Off
If this parameter's value is set to Normal, the PC3LE responds to All Notes Off messages
received over MIDI. Ignore causes these messages to be ignored. If you're using a Roland
product as a MIDI controller for your PC3LE, you'll want to set the value of this parameter to
Ignore. This is because some older Roland products occasionally send an All Notes Off message
when no keys are held down—even if you're sustaining notes with a pedal. You might find all
your sustains missing from your sequence, for example, if you're driving your PC3LE from one
of Roland's hardware sequencers. Setting this parameter to Ignore takes care of this problem.
Regardless of the setting for this parameter, the PC3LE always responds to its own Panic button
by shutting off all active notes and controllers.
Program Change Mode (PrgChgMode)
This determines how the PC3LE responds to program change commands received via MIDI. See
Program Change Formats on page 9‐25 for an explanation of the various values available for this
parameter.
System Exclusive ID (SysExID)
The SysExID parameter differentiates between more than one MIDI device of the same model.
You won't need to change the default setting of 0 unless you have multiple PC3LEs (or PC3's,
K2600s, K2500s, or K2000s) receiving SysEx messages from a single source. In that case, make
sure each instrument has a different SysExID. Then you can direct SysEx messages to the
appropriate PC3LE with the SysExID byte that's included with every SysEx message. A value of
127 specifies "Omni Receive." That is, at this value, a PC3LE responds to a SysEx message
regardless of the SysEx ID of the message.
Bank Select
BankSelect allows you to choose between having the PC3LE respond to Controller 0 or
Controller 32 or both. The reason for this is that various manufacturers have chosen one method
or the other. The three possible values for this parameter are:
Ctl 0
Ctl 32
Ctl 0/32
9-20
Responds to controller 0 only.
Responds to controller 32 only.
Responds to 0 or 32.
