they'll drop out as your playing triggers muted layer, then you'll hear notes again as you trigger
the loud layer.

Exiting the Program Editor

There are several ways to get out:
• Press Cancel/No one or more times.
• Press Store to begin the Save dialog; when you've finished saving, the PC2R returns to
Internal Voices mode.
• Select a performance mode by pressing a mode-selection button.

The Internal Setup

The three performance modes are quite different from a musician's viewpoint. The most
noticeable difference is the way the liquid-crystal display (LCD) looks in each mode, as you'll
learn on page 3-5.
Behind the scenes, however, the performance modes aren't as different as they seem. In fact,
they have quite a bit in common. For example, consider the Pitch Wheel, which you'll find on
most MIDI keyboard controllers. Push it up and you bend notes up; pull it down and you bend
notes down. This works in all three of the PC2R's performance modes.
Your MIDI source's Pitch Wheel (as well as other physical controllers) does what it does because
the PC2R is programmed that way—but you could program it for other functions if you wanted.
In a setup, your MIDI source's Pitch Wheel can do something different in each zone—and that's
true for all the assignable physical controllers on your MIDI source (Mod Wheel, sliders, pedals,
etc.)—as well as the knobs on the PC2R's front panel.
In a program (Internal Voices mode, KB3 mode, or MIDI Receive mode), things are different.
From the viewpoint of you the musician, programs don't have zones, so each physical controller
on your MIDI source can do only one thing, but it's up to you to decide what each physical
controller does. That information gets stored in the internal setup, which has only one zone, but is
otherwise exactly like a setup in MIDI Setups mode.
Every program in Internal Voices mode uses the internal setup to determine how the PC2R
responds to your MIDI source's physical controllers (or its own knobs)—and many other
characteristics. Programs in KB3 mode also use the internal setup (although in KB3 mode some
responses to physical controllers vary from those of the internal setup).

Beyond the Basics

Now that you've had an introduction to program editing, it's time to experiment. If you're
interested in a particular editing task, there's a good chance you'll find it in Common Editing
Tasks on page 4-31. To learn about the specifics of each parameter, see Program Editor Parameters
on page 5-1.
