Exit Save; Drum Remap - Kurzweil PC1 - MUSICIANS GUIDE REV B Manual

What Happens When You Turn GM Mode On
When General MIDI is On, the PC1 locks all MIDI channels (except Channel 10, the Drum
channel) to play programs in the bank where the GM programs are stored (Bank 4). Channel 10
plays programs in Bank 7; these are drum programs, with program change numbers
reconfigured to match the GM specification.
To ensure the proper dynamic response to GM files, the PC1 adjusts the receive velocities using a
specialized touch map. Because GM handles effects levels differently, the PC1 scales down the
levels of FX A and FX B. You can adjust the amount of scaling manually, using the GM FX Scale
parameter.
What Happens When You Turn GM Mode Off
When General MIDI is Off, all MIDI channels are unlocked from GM Banks. The programs in
Bank 7 return to their normal configuration; the value of the Touch parameter returns to its
former value (which the PC1 remembers if you turn the power off); the effect levels return to
their former state.
GM FX Scale
With this parameter you can control how much the effect levels are reduced when you're in GM
mode (which is done to make the effect levels consistent with GM instruments). By default, the
value is 25%, which means that the values of Controllers 93 FXAWet and 91 FXBWet are
multiplied by .25, and the effects are 75% drier. Increase the value of GM FX Scale to make the
effects wetter; reduce it to make them drier.

Exit Save

Affects what happens when you exit an editor without saving. If the value if Never (the default),
the PC1 won't prompt you to save your edits when you leave an editor. If the value is Ask,
leaving an editor without saving causes the PC1 to ask you if you want to save your edits. You
can press Yes or No as desired, or you can press a mode-selection button to cancel your edits and
return to a performance mode.

Drum Remap

Determines the layout of the timbres in drum programs. There are three possible values:
Default value. No remapping of drum timbres.
Normal
Assigns many timbres to different note numbers.
