Descriptions of Parameters
System Parameters
release the last key, the Setup Select button corresponding to the ID of the new setup blinks. Any
notes being held by the PC2 (or by Kurzweil instruments receiving MIDI from the PC2) continue
with their normal decays. Non-Kurzweil MIDI slaves may cut off notes as soon as the PC2Õs
setup changes.
Setup Change Channel (Setup Chg Chan)
Enables the PC2 to change setups when it receives a program-change message from an external
MIDI source. This is useful when the PC2 is controlled by another instrument or a sequencer.the
possible values are None (the default, which disables this feature), and 1Ð16.
Set the value of this parameter to match the channel on which you want to send program-
change messages from the external source. Make sure that none of your external MIDI sources
uses that channel for any other purpose; if the PC2 receives a program-change message on that
channel from any MIDI source, it will change setups, which may not be what you want.
When youÕve set this parameterÕs value to a speciÞc MIDI channel, bank-select messages with
values of 0Ð3 received on that channel select setup banks 1Ð4.
MIDI In
Determines how the PC2 handles MIDI information received at its MIDI In port. There are three
possible values:
Normal
The default. The PC2 leaves the MIDI information unaltered. If the Thru/Out switch on the rear
panel is set to Thru, the PC2 passes the MIDI information to the MIDI Thru port.
Remap
Processes incoming MIDI information as if it had been generated by the PC2 itself: notes get
rechanneled into four different zones according to their note numbers, and sent to the MIDI Out
port on the appropriate channels. Any notes that lie in overlapping zones get sent on all the
corresponding channels. Channel numbers on incoming notes are ignored. Non-note
information (controllers, pitchbend, etc.) get sent on all active channels: for example, if the four
zones of a Setup are transmitting on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12, any Pitch Bend information coming
into the PC2 (on any channel) get sent on channels 2, 5, 9, and 12 simultaneously.
Merge
Mixes incoming MIDI data with the data generated by the PC2 and sends the combined data
stream to the MIDI Out port. Channel numbers of incoming commands remain intact. Both note
and non-note messages get passed normally, but System Exclusive messages get Þltered out. A
value of Merge doesnÕt affect the behavior of the MIDI Thru port, if youÕre using the MIDI
Thru/Out port.
Wrap/Skip
This is a convenience feature. When Wrap/Skip has a value of On (the default), you wonÕt see
any unused program or setup IDs when you scroll through programs and setups. When
Wrap/Skip has a value of Off, youÕll see all unused program and setup IDs, in which case the
display shows
5-32
for those programs and setups.
