PC2 Made Easy

to Off). You can also assign the zone to a non-KB3 program by changing the zone to a

different MIDI channel, choosing a different program for that zone, and clearing the

controller assignments by pressing Controllers, then Copy, then the right arrow button

until it says "Clear Zone X?", then Enter). In this situation, the Sliders could still be used

to control any 4 of the drawbars that you want. By default, the sliders would control the

first 4 drawbars, but you could chose any 4 drawbars you want by assigning the sliders

to the specific MIDI controller numbers used for the specific drawbars. The chart on

page B-10 of the PC2 manual shows which controller numbers are used for which

drawbars, as well as for the other KB3 effects.

Deleting the second zone obviously gives you the advantage of having an extra zone for

layering or splitting with other programs, and it also prevents any doubled notes that

would occur if you accidentally have both zone 1 and 2 active at the same time, as

described above.

Button Issues

In KB3 Mode, the 4 buttons above the sliders are used for various specific KB3

functions, but in Setups Mode, these buttons are used for muting or soloing zones.

Therefore these functions have been moved to other buttons.

¥ Percussion On/Off is controlled by SW5 (above the Mod wheel)

¥ Percussion Pitch (High/Low) is controlled by SW4 (above the Pitch wheel)

¥ Percussion Loud/Soft is controlled by section 3 of the Ribbon (you must have the

ribbon controller plugged in for this to work, obviously)

¥ Percussion Decay (Fast/Slow) is not assigned to any controller

The Rotary On/Off and Vibrato/Chorus On/Off buttons function identically in the

Setup. In addition, Switch Pedal 3 can also be used to control Rotary On/Off (this is

same in KB3 Mode).

The Vibrato/Chorus depth button works differently, however. In KB3 Mode, this button

switches between 3 Vibrato and 3 Chorus settings. Since the button only has two states

in Setup Mode (On or Off), you can only choose between two different settings. By

default, the button switches between Vibrato 1 and Chorus 3. But by editing the On

Value and Off Value parameters for that button, you can switch between any two

settings (the On Controller and Off Controller parameters are both 93 - you only change

the On value and Off value). To select other settings, use the following values:

¥ Vibrato 1 = 0

¥ Vibrato 2 = 36

¥ Vibrato 3 = 58

¥ Chorus 1 = 79

¥ Chorus 2 = 100

¥ÊChorus 3 = 122

If you are not certain how to set the On and Off values for a button, please see tutorial

#12 Ð it covers this concept.
