Short Cuts For Changing Parameter Values - Kurzweil PC2R Musician's Manual

Instant Parameter Selection
This technique works for all physical controllers, including mono pressure.
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode if you aren't already there, and press Edit.
2. Press and hold Global.
3. On your MIDI source, move any controller or strike a key and press it as if you were
applying aftertouch—or move one of the controller knobs on the PC2R. This selects the
Ctrl Num parameter for the corresponding controller.

Short Cuts for Changing Parameter Values

You can use any continuous physical controller (sliders, wheels, pedals, ribbons, or pressure on
your MIDI source, or Knobs A–D on the PC2R) to change the value of the current parameter
very quickly. You can also use the keyboard in some cases. Here are three quick examples.
Transposing Setup Zones
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode if you aren't already there, and press Edit.
2. Find the Transpose menu (it's fourth in the list). Press Enter.
3. Press Enter again, and hold it down. Then play a note from your MIDI source. The
distance of that note from C 4 (Middle C) sets the number of semitones of transposition.
For example, if you played E 4, you'd transpose the current zone up a third (four
semitones).
Setting the Key Range of a Setup Zone
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode if you aren't already there, and press Edit.
2. Find the Key Range menu (it's third in the list). Press Enter.
3. Press and hold Enter, then play a note from your MIDI source. This sets the low key, since
the Low parameter becomes current when you press Enter.
4. Select the Hi parameter.
5. Press and hold Enter, then play another note, which sets the high key.
