The following table shows the parameters that correspond to Knobs A–D, for each state of the
Shift LED when you're in Internal Voices mode or MIDI Setups mode. When the parameter
name includes the word "Knob," the corresponding knob functions as a continuous controller.
When the parameter name includes the word "Switch," the corresponding knob functions as a
switch controller.
Green
Amber
Red
In KB3 mode, Knobs A–D adjust drawbar lengths, pre-amp settings, and chorus/vibrato
settings for KB3 programs. You'll notice that these knobs each have three rows of labeling in
orange. Each row of labeling corresponds to one of the states of the Drawbar Toggle LED. The
default assignments for the knobs are as follows:
Green
Amber
Red
If your MIDI source has programmable sliders or other physical controllers, you can program
those controllers to work the way Knobs A–D work. See page B-12 for a list of the MIDI
Controller messages that affect PC2R features.

The Edit Region

There are eight buttons, and a dial called the Alpha Wheel, in the Edit region. Most of the
buttons you'll need for programming (editing) your PC2R are in this region. (We'll discuss
editing thoroughly in Chapter 4.)
Four of the buttons in the Edit region have dual labels. For readability, when we refer to these
buttons, we'll describe them according to the situation, instead of using the full name. For
example, to enter an edit mode, we'll instruct you to press Edit (not Edit/Store).
Edit/Store
Press the Edit button to enter the edit mode corresponding to your current performance
mode.This is where you make changes to the parameters that define programs, setups, and
effects. See Chapter 4 for specifics about programming your PC2R.
Once you're in an edit mode, this button becomes the Store button. Press Store to bring up a
Save dialog, then either press Yes to save the current object, or use the cursor buttons to select
another related function. See Naming and Storing on page 4-3 for more information.
Group/Menu
In all three performance modes, this button is the Group button, and selects categories of
programs or setups. (See page 3-13 for more information about using the Group button to select
programs and setups by category.)
