Sending Program Changes Only - Kurzweil PC1 - MUSICIANS GUIDE REV B Manual

Programming your PC1
Using the PC1 to Control External Slaves
To make it obvious for the majority of us who prefer to think in base 10, the following numbers
show how the banks increment:
Controller 0/32 Value
When you've selected the Bank parameter in the PC1, the display shows you both the 0/32 value
and the bank number equivalent. With other parameters selected, the display shows only the
bank number equivalent, followed by a colon (:), followed by the program number.
To figure out which bank number equivalent you need, follow this formula:
MSB x 128 + LSB
Using the Roland example, if they require you to send Controller 0 with a value of 80 and no
value of Controller 32, then you would have 80 x 128 + 0 = 10,240. With the Bank parameter
selected, if you scroll to 10240, you will see the display show both 80/0 and 10240.
Another example: If the Roland required you to send Controller 0 with a value of 81 and
Controller 32 with a value of 2, then you would have 81 x 128 + 2 = 10,370. Again, setting the
value of the Bank parameter to 10370 will show both 81/2 and 10370.

Sending Program Changes Only

Imagine that you're playing the PC1, and playing another keyboard at the same time. You want
to be able to change programs on the second keyboard when you change setups on the PC1, so
you need to send MIDI to the second keyboard. You don't want to send note information to the
second keyboard, however, since you're actually playing the second keyboard (and not slaving it
from the PC1). You can easily create a setup that sends program change information, but doesn't
play notes on the second keyboard.
1. Go to Setup mode and select Setup 128 Default Setup.
2. Press Edit, then select the Controller menu. Press Enter.
3. Press Zone 2 button twice to enable Zone 2
4. Set the value of the Ctrl num parameter to None for all controllers in Zone 2. You can
use the editing short cut of pressing both cursor buttons together to jump to the next
controller in the list.
5. Press Menu, then select MIDI Xmit menu. Press Enter. Set the MIDI channels that you
want for Zones 1 and 2.
6. Press the Right cursor button to select the Dest parameter. Set the value for Zone 2 to
MIDI, and Zone 1 to Local.
