PC2 Made Easy

But what is the reason for steps 6-9? This has to do with an oddity (read bug) with the

Bank Mode parameter. This parameter normally determines which bank controller or

controllers (0, 32, or 0 and 32 together) are used when the Setup is first selected and the

Program change message (which is selected from the Program button) is sent. For some

reason when this parameter is set to one of the bank values, it interferes with the bank

message that is sent by the pedal. So by setting the parameter to None, it prevents this

problem.

However, this means that the bank value associated with the Program you choose in the

program menu is not sent. This is the reason for assigning the SW4 button in steps 6-8.

We have assigned it to send the bank controller with a value of 0 (since we chose a

program from that bank at the beginning of the tutorial). And by setting the Entry State

to On, we ensure that the message is sent when the Setup is selected.

The only limitation of this method is that you can only switch in one direction with a

single controller - you canÕt use one pedal to switch back and forth between two

different programs. But you could always assign another controller to do the same thing

to switch back, or even to a different program.
