Names of things and what they do
fig.bender
Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever
Use this to vary the pitch or to apply vibrato.
SPEAKER
These speakers output the sound of the PC-80 software synthesizer, the sequencer
software you’re using, or an instrument or audio device you’ve connected to the PC-80.
The speakers will output the same sound as the master output jacks and headphone jacks. If you
connect headphones, no sound will be heard from the speakers, but the sound will still be output
from the master output jacks.
For details on how to switch the output of the built-in speakers on/off, refer to
“SPEAKER ON/OFF
setting”
(p. 10).
fig.master
Master Volume Knob (MASTER VOLUME)
This adjusts the volume that is output from the PC-80’s built-in speakers, master output
jacks, and headphone jacks.
fig.disp
Display
This shows the current operating state and various other information.
fig.value
VALUE Encoder (VALUE)
This controls the MIDI transmit channel or program change number.
In
Controller mode
(p. 67), it controls a
specific parameter (p. 78).
The value is finalized when you turn the VALUE encoder.
fig.midichb
MIDI Channel Button (MIDI CH)
This sets the transmit channel (current channel, p. 62) of the keyboard and bender lever.
In
Controller mode
(p. 67) it transmits a Start message (FAh). If the PC-80 software
synthesizer is running, this sets parameters of the PC-80 software synthesizer.
ig.midichb
Program Change Button (PGM CHANGE)
This transmits a program change on the current channel.
In
Controller mode
(p. 67) it transmits a Stop message (FCh).
If you do not play the PC-80 or perform any operation for a certain amount of time, the
display and button illumination will darken.
Number
When you operate a controller, its value will appear briefly.
USB
This will light if the PC-80 is connected via USB to your computer.
DATA OUT
This will blink when a MIDI message is transmitted to USB or MIDI OUT.
