Chapter 1 Introduction Thanks for buying your PC2R MIDI rack-mount performance synthesizer! It features 16 megabytes of renowned Kurzweil ROM sounds in a convenient one-space rack unit that can help you sound like a pro on stage or in the studio. We hope you like it. The PC2R is perfect for adding 64 voices (or even 128 voices) to your performance controller— a Kurzweil PC2 or any other keyboard or alternative MIDI control source, or a computer with sequencing software.
Introduction Options Effects To complement the ROM sounds, there are over 150 multiple effects and 30 reverbs. You can apply the effects to programs or setups, and you can easily control the wet/dry mix in real time. You can also program the multi-effects and reverbs for even more control in performance and recording. Options Ask your Kurzweil dealer about the following PC2R options.
Chapter 2 Startup Setup During operation, the PC2R must be either installed in a properly-ventilated MIDI rack, or resting on its four rubber feet on a sturdy, level surface. If not properly ventilated, the PC2R could overheat and malfunction. Figure 2-1 shows the bottom panel of the PC2R and the recommended locations for the rubber feet. Peel the backing paper from each rubber foot and attach it as indicated.
Startup Basic Connections Basic Connections Figure 2-2 shows the PC2R’s rear panel, where you’ll find the power, audio, and MIDI connections. Æ L Serial No. Model: PC2R Manufacturer: Young Chang Co., Ltd. Designed in USA Made in R.O.K. Figure 2-2 Audio Outs R 2 In PC R Thru Out Power In Digital Out Thru / Out MIDI 9.0V 2.0A 14.0V~0.25A THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
Startup Basic Connections Audio The PC2R features balanced left and right analog audio outputs with 1/4-inch jacks. For best results, use balanced cables to connect to balanced, line-level inputs on your mixer or sound system. It’s important to use shielded, twisted-pair cables. The cables should each have 1/4-inch stereo (tip-ring-sleeve) plugs on one end to connect to the PC2R. The other end of each cable should have either 1/4-inch stereo plugs or XLR plugs.
Startup Powering Up Use the MIDI Out port and/or the programmable Thru/Out port if your PC2R is part of a more complex MIDI system. Even if your MIDI source can transmit on only one MIDI channel, you can make it more powerful with the PC2R, which can remap incoming MIDI information to four different MIDI channels, each playing a different sound.
Startup Powering Up Display (LCD) The PC2R’s 40-character liquid-crystal display tells you what’s going on, whether you’re playing or editing. Depending on your viewing angle (and possibly the temperature), you may need to adjust the contrast for better visibility. There’s a small black knob at the far right of the front panel, which adjusts the LCD contrast so you can read the display easily in different lighting conditions.
Startup Powering Up No Sound If no sound comes from the audio or headphones outputs of your PC2R when you play your MIDI control source, check the following: • • • • • • • The Volume knob might be set too low. Your MIDI connection may not be functioning: check that you have a MIDI cable connected from the MIDI Out port of your MIDI source to the MIDI In port of the PC2R. The LED in the MIDI Receive button blinks when the PC2R receives MIDI information.
Chapter 3 Playing Your PC2R Changing Sounds If your MIDI connections and channel assignments are OK, you should be able to change programs from your MIDI source—which is probably how most people do it. If you want to change programs from the PC2R however, you can. Just turn the Alpha Wheel in either direction to scroll through the list of available sounds. There’s more about selecting programs and setups beginning on page 3-13. Demonstration Sequences There are two demo sequences stored in ROM.
Playing Your PC2R Overview Overview We’ll start by explaining how the PC2R is organized. In this overview we’ll discuss modes, programs and setups (and how they’re organized), objects, banks, and something called the Internal Setup. (described on page 4-14) We’ll also briefly mention EQ (equalization) and effects. Modes The PC2R has six modes. Each mode provides a different set of functions. You’ll choose modes depending on what you want to do with the PC2R.
Playing Your PC2R Overview Special Modes While you’re in Internal Voices mode, press Main to go to a special setup editor that controls the internal setup (see Editing the Internal Setup on page 4-32 for more information). The internal setup defines controller assignments and other characteristics for all the programs in Internal Voices mode. Pressing Main also enables you to create quick layers and splits, as described on page 3-18.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel Effects There are over 150 preset effects, including reverbs, delays, choruses, flangers, phasers, tremolo, panners, envelope filters, distortions, rotary speakers, compressors, enhancers, waveform shapers, and multi-effect combinations. There are also 30 preset reverbs. See page 3-15 for more information about effects. The Front Panel The buttons and knobs on the PC2R’s front panel control it during performances and when you’re editing.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel Color-Coded Labeling Most of the buttons to the right of the display are labeled in a single color: white. These buttons have similar or related functions in most performance and editing modes. Most of the buttons and knobs in the Performance region, however, are labeled with more than one color, or with more than one function. These multi-purpose buttons and knobs do different things depending on which mode you’re in.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel You’ll find KB3-mode programs in banks with IDs 4 and 5. Unlike Internal-Voices programs and setups, they don’t display a bank index. KB3 programs use tone-wheel synthesis to produce sound. When you select a KB3 program (or a setup that contains one), the tone wheels start up and run constantly while the program is in use. This requires quite a bit of processing, and consequently has an effect on the polyphony available for other programs.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel MIDI Setups Mode Press the MIDI Setups button to enter MIDI Setups mode, and the display looks like this: Setup ID Setup name S001|Dance C7| A01|1:Beat Box| Bank index Current zone Program assigned to current zone The setup ID usually begins with S to indicate that you’re playing a setup—although in Setups that have the AutoSplit feature turned on, the S is replaced by a caret (^).
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel Layer In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a layer. In KB3 mode, this button switches between low and high volume for the percussion effect (if any) for the current program. In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 2 for viewing or editing. Split In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a new sound below a preset split point.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel The following table shows the parameters that correspond to Knobs A–D, for each state of the Shift LED when you’re in Internal Voices mode or MIDI Setups mode. When the parameter name includes the word “Knob,” the corresponding knob functions as a continuous controller. When the parameter name includes the word “Switch,” the corresponding knob functions as a switch controller.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel To select a program or setup this way, press the Group button to display a category of programs or setups. Use the Alpha Wheel or cursor buttons to scroll through the categories. Press Enter to select the first program or setup in that category. If you’re in Internal Voices mode or KB3 mode, you can scroll all the way through the Internal Voices categories and into the KB3 categories (and vice versa). The PC2R automatically switches to the corresponding performance mode.
Playing Your PC2R The Front Panel The Modes Region The six buttons in the Modes region take you to various performance and editing modes. Internal Voices Press this button to get to Internal Voices mode from any performance or editing mode. Internal Voices is the mode to use for playing Internal-Voice programs. KB3 Press this button to get to KB3 mode from any performance or editing mode. KB3 mode offers several programs that emulate the classic B-3 organ.
Playing Your PC2R Program and Setup Organization You can set the following parameters for each channel. See page 5-33 for more information about using MIDI Receive mode.
Playing Your PC2R Selecting Programs and Setups Selecting Programs and Setups Select a performance mode by pressing Internal Voices, KB3, or MIDI Setups. Once you’re in a performance mode, you can select the programs or setups either by turning the Alpha Wheel, or by sending program change messages from your MIDI source. If you’re scrolling with the Alpha Wheel, you’ll notice that you can scroll from the Internal Voices programs into the KB3 programs, and vice versa.
Playing Your PC2R EQ EQ The PC2R comes with its own three-band equalization (EQ), or tone controls. The EQ is global, which means that there is only one setting that is used all of the time regardless of which program or setup you’re playing. Its purpose is to adjust the PC2R for individual listening situations. Changing the EQ 1.
Playing Your PC2R Effects the vibrato depth in the current program only if the PC2R were using the same MIDI channel as your MIDI source—and if the program responded to MIDI 1.) Suppose you want to use a different physical controller on your MIDI source to affect the vibrato depth in Setup 001. Program that controller to send MIDI 1, and it will affect vibrato depth just as the Mod Wheel does.
Playing Your PC2R Effects Send a MIDI Controller message of 94 to change effects routing. A value of 0–31 switches the routing to None; a value of 32–63 switches to FX-A; a value of 64–95 switches to FX-B; a value of 96–127 switches to Both. Selecting Effects 1. Press the FX button You’ll see the FX Routing menu in the bottom line of the display (unless you entered FX mode from MIDI Receive mode, in which case there’s no FX Routing menu). 2. Press the Right cursor button. The FXA Select menu appears.
Playing Your PC2R Effects Bypassing Effects Suppose you’re in the recording studio, and the engineers are using their own external effects processor, or perhaps a global reverb setting for all channels. You want to silence the PC2R’s effects and/or reverb temporarily (without making permanent changes to the programs or setups you’re playing during recording. You can quickly bypass either or both of the effects blocks globally, using the FXA Bypass and FXB Bypass parameters in the FX Routing menu. 1.
Playing Your PC2R Layering and Splitting Changing the Wet/Dry Mix From the Front Panel 1. Press FX, then press the Right cursor button until you see the FX Wet/Dry menu. 2. Press Enter. The display should look something like this: Z:1||Global|A>B:22|% A:|64|%|||B:(36|%) The first character is L (layer) if you’re coming from Internal Voices mode or KB3 mode, or Z (zone) if you’re coming from MIDI Setups mode. The numeral following the L or Z indicates the current layer or zone.
Playing Your PC2R Layering and Splitting sounds in the layers or splits, and create combinations of layers and splits. We’ll show you how to do it, then we’ll explain what’s going on. Using AutoSplit for Quick Layers and Splits We’re going to start with piano, layer it with strings, add a split with bass, then layer the bass with drums. 1. Press Internal Voices, then turn the Alpha wheel until you see Program 000 Stereo Grand.
Playing Your PC2R Layering and Splitting current zone), and whatever program is assigned to Zone 3 plays below the AutoSplit Key. 4. Use the Alpha Wheel to select Program 104 Round and Wound. In Step 3 we created the split by activating Zone 3 below the AutoSplit Key; now we’ve assigned a program to it. 5. Press Split Layer (Zone 4).Zone 4 becomes active (and becomes the current zone), and whatever program is assigned to Zone 4 gets layered with the bass. 6.
Playing Your PC2R Muting and Soloing Changing the AutoSplit Key this way is a performance feature only; as soon as you leave your current performance mode, the change is lost. You can save it, however. Read on. Saving the AutoSplit Key If you’re in MIDI Setups mode, just save the setup, as described in Saving Quick Layers and Splits above. If you want to save the AutoSplit Key to the internal setup, follow the procedure described in Saving the Internal Setup on page 3-23.
Playing Your PC2R Muting and Soloing Zone-Button LEDs The tri-colored LED in each zone button indicates the zone’s status for the current setup: Off Empty zone—that is, a zone that has its MIDI Channel parameter set to Off. When a zone’s LED is off (unlit), the zone does not produce sound, even though it has a program assigned to it. Red Soloed zone. Only one zone can be soloed at a time. When a zone is soloed, only that zone plays and generates notes and controller messages.
Playing Your PC2R Saving the Internal Setup The AutoSplit Feature Muting and soloing are slightly different depending on whether the AutoSplit feature is on. When it’s on, a soloed zone expands to cover the entire MIDI note range—it doesn’t matter what the settings are for the AutoSplit key or for the zones low and high notes (key range). Similarly, if you mute both of the zones above the AutoSplit key, the zones below the AutoSplit key expand to cover the entire MIDI note range. And vice versa.
Playing Your PC2R Saving the Internal Setup Saving to the internal setup is useful when you want the changes you’ve made in the current setup to apply to all the programs you play while in Internal Voices mode (remember, Zone 1 of the internal setup is what sets all the parameters for programs—like note range, controller assignments, etc.). 1. Press Store (in the Edit region of the front panel). The display looks something like this: Save|setup|133? A05|Setup|133 2.
Chapter 4 Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts So far we’ve explained the PC2R primarily from a performance standpoint, covering the fundamentals of selecting programs and setups, and applying real-time controls and effects. There’s much more to the PC2R, however—you can modify existing programs, setups, and effects in countless ways, or create completely new ones.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Entering an Edit Mode There are four buttons that take you into the PC2R’s various edit modes: Edit FX MIDI Receive Global Takes you to the first menu in the edit mode corresponding to the performance mode you were in. Takes you to the first FX edit menu corresponding to the current mode. Takes you to the Channel 1 menu in MIDI Receive mode, where you can configure each MIDI channel for program and controller assignments.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Naming and Storing Storing (saving) is optional, of course. If you don’t want to store any of your changes, press Cancel one or more times to return to the mode you were in before you started editing. Although naming is obviously optional as well, we’ll assume you’re going to name the object you’re editing before storing it. This procedure describes storing a setup, so it assumes that you’re in MIDI Setups mode.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Other Save-Dialog Functions Restoring Factory Effects If you’ve changed the effect settings associated with a factory program, you can quickly restore the factory settings. In the Save dialogs for programs (both Internal Voices and KB3) and effects, there are options for restoring the effects for either the current program, or for all programs (both Internal-Voice programs and KB3 programs). 1. Enter the Save dialog by pressing Store.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Dumping Objects If you’ve created a lot of programs, setups, and effects settings, you may want to store them externally, using a MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) dump).
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Note: Reloading a dump does not update the edit buffer. Consequently you won’t have access to the objects until you select them in one of the performance modes. For example, suppose you recently dumped an object (we’ll assume it’s Setup 129), but by coincidence you were editing Setup 129 just before you reloaded it.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts 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.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Negotiating Long Lists of Values When a parameter has a long list of values, using a continuous controller to change the value can be faster than using the Alpha Wheel. This is especially useful within the Controllers menu in the Setup Editor, since for each controller there are well over a hundred available values. The following example changes the value of the Ctrl Num parameter. 1. Go to MIDI Setups mode if you aren’t already there, and press Edit. 2.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts 7. Press the Right cursor button twice to display the Release parameter. 8. Change the value to its minimum. Now both the attack and the release are slow. 9. Press Compare. Both the slow attack and the slow release are gone. 10. Press Compare again, and the slow attack and release both return.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Pasting Controller Parameters 1. In MIDI Setups mode, select the setup containing the controller settings that you want to copy. 2. If necessary, press one of the zone buttons to make sure that you’re copying the controller settings for the right zone. 3. Press Edit to enter the Setup Editor. 4. Make sure the Shift LED is green. Press it one or more times if necessary. 5. Press and hold the Global button, and turn Knob A.
Programming Your PC2R Basic Editing Concepts Pasting Arpeggiator Parameters 1. Select the setup containing the arpeggiator data that you want to copy. Press the Arpeggiator button. 2. Press Copy, then Enter. 3. Press the MIDI Setups button. Select the setup that you want to paste into. Press the Arpeggiator button. 4. Press the Copy button. Press the Right cursor button, then Enter. You should be aware that this will copy only the parameters in the Arpeggiator menu.
Programming Your PC2R The Program Editor Dumping the Entire Memory 1. Make sure that you have a MIDI connection from the PC2R’s MIDI Out port to the MIDI In port of your external device. 2. Press the Global button, then press the Right cursor button until you see Dump|all|Objects? 3. Start recording on your external device, and press Enter on the PC2R. The LED in the MIDI Xmit button blinks and the display shows you the object being dumped.
Programming Your PC2R The Program Editor The Timbre menu contains parameters that affect the nature of the sound in the current program. The parameter you see now controls the cutoff frequency of a lowpass filter, one of the two DSP (digital signal-processing) functions contained in each program. You can’t change which DSP functions are associated with a program, but you can change the values for the existing functions. By the way, you might think the display says E#, not F#.
Programming Your PC2R The Program Editor 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.
Programming Your PC2R The KB3 Editor The KB3 Editor In the KB3 Editor, you have access to the parameters that affect the sound of the current KB3 program. These parameters are described beginning on page 5-6. KB3 parameters are different from Internal Voices parameters, but otherwise, editing KB3 programs is much like editing Internal Voices programs. KB3 Program Structure KB3 programs are significantly different from the programs in Internal Voices mode.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor The Setup Editor The Setup Editor lets you make changes to setups, then store the modified setups in the User setup bank. The PC2R comes from the factory with 36 setups, all in the Internal bank. The User bank is empty, so the first time you go into the Setup Editor, you’ll be editing one of the setups in the Internal setup bank.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor you want them, press Zone 2. You’ll hear the same organ, because Zone 2 uses the same program. Now, however, Green Knobs A–D control Drawbars 5–8. Red Knob B (or the Mod Wheel on your MIDI source or any controller that sends MIDI 1) always controls Drawbar 9. When all the drawbars are set the way you want them, press Solo to exit from solo mode, and you’ll hear the bass and ride cymbal. At this point, both Zone 1 and Zone 2 are muted (their LEDs are amber).
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Creating Setups If you’ve read Layering and Splitting on page 3-18, you know how to create layered setups using the AutoSplit feature. Doing it this way, however, adds a lot of other features to the resulting setup, and you may not want that. Sometimes it’s better to start from scratch. 1. Start by selecting Setup 128. (Don’t press Edit yet.) 2. Press each of the Zone 1 through Zone 4 buttons once (notice the zone numbers labeled in blue above the buttons).
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor 13. Press Store to display the Save dialog: Save|Setup|129? A01|Default|Setup Notice that the PC2R suggests a setup ID of 129, which is the first unused setup ID in the User bank. We’ll use that ID, but we’ll rename the setup before storing it. 14. Press the Right cursor button; the display prompts you to rename the setup. Press Yes. 15. Press Zone 3 repeatedly until you’ve erased the entire name.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Assigning Knobs to Control Wet/Dry Mix in Different Zones Many of the factory programs use Green Knobs A and B to control the wet/dry mix of the effects assigned to FX-A and FX-B. The setups in these examples don’t use either of these knobs. Our next example creates a setup that uses Green Knob A to control FX-A’s wet/dry mix (but only in Zone 1), and Green Knob B to control FX-B’s wet/dry mix (but only in Zone 2).
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Assigning Entry Values Suppose you have a setup with an effect whose wet/dry mix is controlled by a knob on your PC2R. You want to make sure it’s active when you start playing the setup. Entry values are a convenient way to specify initial settings for any controller. We’ll edit KnobFX, and set an entry level for Knob A in Zone 1 so that the wet/dry mix of the reverb is at about 75% as soon as we select the setup. 1. Start with Setup 131 KnobFX.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Setting Exit Values Suppose that you’re using Setup 132 in a performance, and you finish a tune by fading out the chorus with Knob A. Its MIDI Controller value is now 0, and will stay at 0 until you turn the knob again (or until something else changes the value). Unless, of course, you reset Channel 1’s wet/dry mix somehow. That’s where exit values come in; they let you specify MIDI Controller values when you leave a setup.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor 8. Press the Right cursor button. The display shows a prompt asking if you want to paste to Zone 1. 9. Press Zone 3, then Enter. The display shows Zone|pasted! and returns to the Paste prompt. 10. Take a minute to save the setup as 133 Offset. You’ll see why we chose that name in a minute. Once you’ve saved, you’re no longer in the Setup Editor. 11. Now we’ll change the program assignment for Zone 3.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Crossfades You can use a single continuous controller to fade one sound out while it fades another sound in. This is called a crossfade. 1. Create a two-zone setup, as you did in the example on page 4-18. Use a sustaining sound in each zone: perhaps two different organs. (If you want, you can use Setup 129, and change the piano to an organ.) 2. Make Zone 1 current, then enter the Controllers menu in the Setup Editor. Go to the Ctrl Scale parameter for Green Knob A.
Programming Your PC2R The Setup Editor Velocity Layering Another use for the velocity parameters is to add a layer instead of switching between layers. To do this, have one layer play at velocities from 1 to 127, and another at velocities from 100 to 127.
Programming Your PC2R Effects Edit Mode Transposing a Setup With a Button If you don’t have the time to learn a tune in a different key, you can have the PC2R transpose a setup with one press of a button. This example transposes up a fourth, but it’s up to you to decide both the direction and the interval. You can use any switch controller; this example assumes that you use a controller programmed to send MIDI 67 (Soft Pedal). 1. Create and save a setup with one or more zones. 2. Go to the Setup Editor.
Programming Your PC2R Effects Edit Mode select manually apply to whatever program or setup you select, regardless of your performance mode. The value of FX Chg Mode resets automatically to Auto every time you turn on the PC2R. Setting the Effects Change Mode In many cases, you can leave both FX Chg Mode and FX Channel at their default settings (Auto and 1).
Programming Your PC2R Effects Edit Mode Selecting Different Effects On page 3-16 we briefly described performance aspects of changing effects. Here we’ll go into a bit more detail about selecting effects. 1. Enter Effects edit mode as described in the previous subsection. 2. Find the FXA Select or FXB Select menu, then press Enter. 3. Use the Alpha Wheel to change the effect displayed on the bottom line.
Programming Your PC2R Effects Edit Mode In addition to the usual four parameters, these effects have three additional parameters parameters at the end of the FXB Select menu. Also, there’s a special editing case. If the KB3 effect you’re editing is assigned to a KB3 program and the FX Chg Mode parameter is set to Auto (which is the default), you’ll notice that when you enter the FXA Select menu, the first three parameters don’t have values; instead of values you see (Program).
Programming Your PC2R Effects Edit Mode You don’t have to modify the factory programs when editing effects; you can create a new program in the User bank instead. 1. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 from the preceding procedure. When you see the Save dialog, press the Right cursor button. The Save dialog changes: Save|Voice|N? Digital E Piano N stands for the lowest-available program ID in the User bank for Internal Voices mode.
Programming Your PC2R Common Editing Tasks Common Editing Tasks Turning AutoSplit On and Off The AutoSplit feature is on by default for all programs in Internal Voices mode (as defined by a parameter in the internal setup). In MIDI Setups mode, AutoSplit is off for most factory setups, but you can turn it on if you want. AutoSplit is not available for KB3 mode. Here’s how to turn it on and off. 1. In MIDI Setups mode, press Edit to enter the Setup Editor. 2. Find the Key Range menu and press Enter. 3.
Programming Your PC2R Common Editing Tasks Changing Preset Drawbar Values Making Drawbars Live When you’re in KB3 mode, you have two options for using the drawbars. A KB3 program’s drawbars can be preset, which means that the PC2R sets them to their programmed values when you select the KB3 program. They can also be live, in which case the PC2R sets their values to the current positions of the drawbar controls (Knobs A–D, in combination with the Drawbar Toggle button) when you select the KB3 program. 1.
Programming Your PC2R Using the Arpeggiator 6. Press the Internal Voices button. This displays a prompt asking you if you want to save to the internal setup. Press Yes. The display briefly shows Internal|setup|saved!, then returns to Internal Voices mode. 7. Select a few different programs, and you’ll notice that they’re all an octave higher when you play them. Using the Arpeggiator The arpeggiator takes input from your MIDI source and turns it into a constant rhythmic pattern.
Programming Your PC2R Using the Arpeggiator The PC2R’s arpeggiator can be a lot of fun to play with; you can get many interesting and unusual effects. The following tutorial will get you started. 1. Start in MIDI Setups mode. To best hear the effects of the arpeggiator, you might want to start with a program that has a percussive attack, such as piano, marimba, or guitar. Select a program you like, then mute the other zones in the setup. 2. Press Edit, then find the Arpeggiator menu and press Enter. 3.
Programming Your PC2R Using the PC2R with Other Gear 2. Press the Menu button, then find the Arpeggiator menu and press Enter. 3. Find the Vel Mode parameter, and set its value to Pressure. Now when you hold notes and apply pressure, the volume of each arpeggiated note is controlled by how much pressure you apply.
Programming Your PC2R Using the PC2R with Other Gear Sending Bank-Select and Program-Change Messages When you have a MIDI instrument slaved to the PC2R, the program-change messages you send to the PC2R from your MIDI source also go to the slave instrument. If your MIDI source can also send bank-select messages, you can select banks and programs on both the PC2R and the slave.
Programming Your PC2R Using the PC2R with Other Gear If you have an instrument like a Roland, which responds only to Controller 0 for bank selection, you have to know how to calculate the bank number. Controller 0 is the Most Significant Byte (MSB) and Controller 32 is the Least Significant Byte (LSB). If you see the two bank controllers together, they are normally shown as MSB/LSB. This means that you count by incrementing the number in the LSB column before incrementing the MSB.
Programming Your PC2R Using the PC2R with Other Gear Sending Program Changes Only Imagine that you’re playing the PC2R from a keyboard controller, and playing another keyboard at the same time. You want to use your keyboard controller to change programs on both the PC2R and the second keyboard. You don’t want to send note information to the second keyboard, however, since you’re actually playing the second keyboard (and not slaving it from the PC2R).
Programming Your PC2R Using the PC2R with Other Gear Sending Different Program Changes to the Same Channel Suppose you want to play Program A on Channel 1 on the PC2R, and Program B on Channel 1 on an instrument that’s slaved to the PC2R. To create a setup that does this, follow Steps 1–8 of the preceding tutorial, but in Step 4 use the same MIDI channel for both zones (don’t forget to save the setup).
Multi-Track Recording This configuration enables you to record multiple tracks, if your sequencer has that capability: 1. Connect the MIDI Out of your keyboard or MIDI source to the MIDI In of the PC2R. 2. Connect the MIDI Out of the PC2R to the MIDI In of the sequencer. Now you can play a setup and record each of the zones on a separate MIDI channel and track. Of course, this configuration doesn’t let you play back your recording without refitting MIDI cables.
Chapter 5 Descriptions of Parameters This chapter contains a description for each of the PC2R’s editing parameters. They’re organized into the following sections: • Program Editor Parameters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5-1 • KB3 Editor Parameters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5-6 • Setup Editor Parameters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5-10 • Effects Edit Mode Parameters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Descriptions of Parameters Program Editor Parameters The Timbre Menu The parameters in the Timbre menu control the most basic components of the sound in a program. There’s a separate set of Timbre parameters for each program layer. Keymap The keymap for programs using mono keymaps (most keymaps are mono keymaps). This parameter appears as <<|Keymap|R for programs using stereo keymaps. Keymap L >> The keymap for the left side of programs using stereo keymaps.
Descriptions of Parameters Program Editor Parameters Initial Value (Init Value) Sends MIDI Controller messages with the specified value when you select the program. For example, if you want to hear the full Mod Wheel effect on a program as soon as you start playing, set the init value of the Mod Wheel parameter to 127.
Descriptions of Parameters Program Editor Parameters These parameters control the rate of attack, decay, and release, which are known collectively as the envelope of a sound. Each parameter is measured as a multiple of 1, which is the unadjusted rate (that’s why there’s an x after the value). Higher values mean a higher rate, which means that less time elapses during the corresponding segment of the envelope.
Descriptions of Parameters Program Editor Parameters The LFO Menu: Rotor Effects Parameters The rotor effects simulate the popular Leslie rotating speaker that has become a standard addition to the B-3 organ. KB3 programs all use rotor effects. You can add rotor effects to other programs by saving one of the KB3 effects to those programs. The rotor effects have two pairs of parameters.
Descriptions of Parameters KB3 Editor Parameters KB3 Editor Parameters The Timbre Menu Wheel Volume Map (WheelVolMap) The wheel volume map determines the volume level for each tone wheel. We’ve provided several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements we’ve taken of different organs. Equal All tone wheels at the same volume. Not based on a real B-3. Bright Normal map, based on a B-3 in good condition. Mellow Somewhere between Bright and Junky.
Descriptions of Parameters KB3 Editor Parameters DrawbarMode Determines whether the program’s drawbar controls set themselves to the positions of the drawbar controls when you select the program. Preset Initial drawbar settings are defined by the values of Drawbar parameters 1–9; they ignore the initial positions of the drawbar controls. Moving the drawbars affects the sound during performance, but the program restores the preset values each time you select the program.
Descriptions of Parameters KB3 Editor Parameters Leakage Controls the level of the simulated crosstalk and signal “bleed” of adjacent tone wheels in the model. This is provided to help “dirty up” the sound to make it a bit more realistic. A setting of -96 dB gives the purest tones; other values add more simulated leakage (the maximum is 0.0 dB). The leakage level is scaled by the drawbar levels, as well as by the expression pedal level.
Descriptions of Parameters KB3 Editor Parameters Perc Switch Either On or Off, this parameter enables/disables the percussion effect for the program. When the value is On, the nature of the percussion effect is determined by the percussion and percussion-pitch parameters (described below). In KB3 mode, you can use the Perc On/Off button to enable or disable percussion (or send MIDI 73 from your MIDI source). Perc Volume This parameter sets the volume of the percussion effect when Perc Switch is On.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The Envelope Menu: Percussion Pitch Parameters Three parameters control the pitch of the percussion effect: Low Harmonic (Low Harm) Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the low harmonic of the percussion effect. The actual pitch obtained depends on which drawbar you use. On an actual tone wheel organ, this is Drawbar 4. You can use any of the nine drawbars.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Each zone in every setup has an independently-programmable set of Setup-Editor parameters; when you change a value for one of these parameters, you’re affecting only the current zone in the current setup (except for the Arpeggiator parameters, which affect the entire setup). Always check to make sure you’ve selected the zone you want to edit before you make changes.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Auxiliary Bend 1, Up (AuxBnd1 Up) Sets the number of semitones of upward pitch bend applied by any physical controller that sends AuxBnd1 (MIDI 21 for MSB and MIDI 53 for LSB), when that controller is at its maximum. Auxiliary Bend 1, Down (AuxBnd1 Dwn) Sets the number of semitones of downward pitch bend applied by any physical controller that sends AuxBnd1 (MIDI 21 for MSB and MIDI 53 for LSB), when that controller is at its maximum.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The function of this parameter depends on the setting of the Dest parameter. If the current zone’s setting for Dest is Local, the zone doesn’t send a program-change command to the MIDI Out port when you select the setup, even if Entry Transmit is set to On. Bank Mode Determines what type of bank-select message, if any, the zone sends when you select the setup. A value of None prevents the zone from sending a bank-select message.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Program Name Display Format (PNameDisp) This is another parameter designed to help you keep track of programs when you’re sending MIDI to other instruments or to a sequencer. It determines the program name you see when you’re viewing the Program Name and ID parameter for the current zone (the parameter you see when you enter the Program menu). It doesn’t affect the program ID that you see, nor does it affect the MIDI information that the zone sends.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Note Map This parameter determines how the current zone responds to each note. If you’re using the PC2R as a solo instrument, you’ll probably never need to edit the note map for the internal setup. If you play a lot of setups, or control external instruments, different note maps can be useful in a number of ways. In the default setup, each zone has a value of Linear for Note Map.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The Velocity Menu The parameters in this menu control the PC2R’s response to the attack velocity of the notes you play—how hard you strike the keys, for example, if your MIDI source is a keyboard. The settings for the velocity parameters affect both the PC2R’s sounds, and the MIDI information the PC2R transmits via its MIDI Out port.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Final Attack-Velocity Value 127 Velocity Scale: 100% as you strike the keys harder (increase the velocity) MIDI velocity increases proportionally Velocity Scale: 200% MIDI velocity reaches maximum on medium strike velocity 64 Velocity Scale: 50% MIDI velocity never reaches maximum, even on maximum strike velocity 0 64 127 Keystrike Velocity Velocity Offset (Vel Offset) Adds a constant value to your keystrike velocity.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Here’s another example: reversing a linear velocity curve so that it plays loud when you strike the keys softly, and vice versa. You might think that all you have to do is set Vel Scale to -100%. when you do that, you find that all the final attack-velocity values are at minimum. When you set Vel Offset to 127, the velocity curve gets shifted as high as it will go, enabling the negative scaling to work properly, as shown in the following graph.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Final Attack-Velocity Value 127 Velocity Curve: Linear Constant relationship between keystrike velocity and final attack velocity Velocity Curve: Sin+ Final attack velocity increases more rapidly up to keystrike velocity of 64, then increases more slowly 64 Velocity Curve: Cos+ Final attack velocity increases more slowly up to keystrike velocity of 64, then increases more rapidly 0 64 127 Keystrike Velocity Minimum Velocity (Min) and Maximum Veloc
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The Controllers Menu The Controllers menu contains parameters that enable you to use the physical controllers on your MIDI source (wheels, sliders, breath, pedals, buttons, ribbons, or other programmable switch or continuous controllers) to control any of several functions on the PC2R.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters page B-11 there’s a table that shows the MIDI Controller messages to send from your MIDI source when you want to simulate moving the knobs on the PC2R’s front panel. Entry Volume Sets the volume level of the zone when you select the setup, by sending a MIDI Controller 7 message with the value you specify. You can set a value of None to prevent the message from being sent when you select a setup.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Controller Curve (Ctrl Curve) This parameter affects the behavior of the controller the same way that the Vel Curve parameter affects the PC2R’s velocity response. If you set Ctrl Curve to Sin+, the controller has its greatest effect in the middle of its range; if Ctrl Curve is Cos+, the controller has its greatest effect at the ends of its range.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters controllers—so are all of the continuous controller parameters (whose descriptions start on page 5-21). Ribbon Section Configuration (Ribbon Sect) Determines the configuration of the optional ribbon controller. A value of Large creates a single section spanning the entire length of the ribbon. A value of 3 Sect. divides the ribbon into three sections (sections) of equal length.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The Controllers Menu: Switch Controller Parameters There are eight controllers in the switch-controller group: Amber Swch A SwitchPdl1 Amber Swch B SwitchPdl2 Amber Swch C SwitchPdl3 Amber Swch D Red Switch A The controllers with the words “Amber” and “Red” in their names correspond to the four knobs in the Performance region. We’ll refer to them collectively as the front-panel switches.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters On Controller (On Ctrl) Determines the MIDI Controller message that the controller sends when you turn it on. When you set a value for this parameter, the PC2R automatically assigns the same value to Off Ctrl. On Value Sets the value of the MIDI Controller message sent by the controller when you turn it on. The value for all zones in the default setup is 127 or On. You can set any value from 0 to 127, but in most cases, 127 is the most useful.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters The Arpeggiator Menu Arpeggiator Activation (Arp Active) Enables or disables the arpeggiator for the setup. If this parameter’s value is Off, then you won’t hear arpeggiation for any notes in any zone of the setup, regardless of the settings for any of the other arpeggiator parameters. In most setups, you can press Amber Switch D to activate the arpeggiator (in these setups, Amber Switch D sends MIDI 116, ArpOn.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters In the next three modes, the arpeggiator latches notes only when MIDI Controller 119 (ArpLatch) sends a value of On (64 or higher). An easy way to experiment with these modes is to assign a convenient physical controller to send MIDI 119. Overplay The arpeggiator latches any notes in the arpeggiator that are being held when ArpLatch goes on, and continues playing them, even after you let them go, until ArpLatch off.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Play Order Determines the order in which the arpeggiator plays latched notes. There are eight possible values: Played Latched notes get played in the chronological order in which you latched them. Up Latched notes play in ascending pitch order, regardless of their chronological order. Down Latched notes play in descending pitch order, regardless of their chronological order.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Beats Sets the number of repetitions for each count of the internal clock. This parameter provides an easy way to change arpeggio tempo in regular intervals.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Pressure All arpeggiated notes play with attack velocities matching the current value of mono pressure (aftertouch). Ctrl 117 All arpeggiated notes play with attack velocities matching the current value of MIDI 117, either from a front-panel controller on the PC2R or received at the MIDI In port. Fixed Velocity (Fixed Vel) When the value of Vel Mode is Fixed, sets the attack-velocity level for all arpeggiated notes.
Descriptions of Parameters Setup Editor Parameters Resulting Arpeggiation (When LimitOption is Unipolar) Shift Limit Comment Up 6 ST (F#4) Down C4, D#4, F#4, Up D#4, C4 D#4, … Same notes play in both directions when Shift Limit is a multiple of Note Shift 7 ST (G4) C4, D#4, F#4, E4, C#4, D#4, … Last upward note before shift limit is F#4, next upward note would be A4, which is 2 ST from shift limit (G4); therefore first downward note is E4 (2 ST below last upward note) 8 ST (G#4) C4, D#4, F#4
Descriptions of Parameters Effects Edit Mode Parameters Glissando When the Glissando parameter is On, the arpeggiator chromatically fills between latched notes. When Glissando is on, the Arpeggiator ignores the Note Shift, Shift Limit, and Limit Option parameters. You must latch at least two notes to get a result. When Glissando is on, all notes played in the arpeggiation range get latched, although you won’t necessarily get meaningful results from all latched notes.
Descriptions of Parameters MIDI Receive Mode Parameters FXA/B Select and FXA/B These parameters replace FXA Select and the FX-A parameters when the current effect is one of the double-block KB3 effects. In this case, the FXA/B Select parameter determines the effect for both effect blocks (in fact, you can’t change effects from the FXB Select menu in this case). Use the Right cursor button to scroll through the FXAB parameters.
Descriptions of Parameters MIDI Receive Mode Parameters Channel Number This is the first parameter in the menu. Select this parameter and use the Alpha Wheel to select the top of the list of parameters for a different MIDI channel. Channel Activation (No parameter name shown) Activates/deactivates current channel. The value is either On or Off. Program ID and Name (No parameter name shown) Specifies a program for the current channel.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters Global Mode Parameters The Global menu contains parameters that control high-level functions affecting the entire PC2R—such as global EQ, MIDI clock source, and velocity sensitivity. There are also a few utilities and special functions toward the end of the menu. EQ: Low, Mid, and High These three parameters control the three-band equalization for the entire PC2R.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters Touch Sets the keyboard sensitivity for the entire PC2R, somewhat like the Vel Scale parameter for individual programs and setups (like Vel Scale, the value for the Touch parameter also affects notes that get sent via MIDI). There are seven possible values: 1 Linear 5 Hard1 2 Light1 6 Hard2 3 Light2 7 Hard3 4 Light3 A value of Linear (the default) is the standard, unaltered level of sensitivity.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters MIDI In Determines how the PC2R handles MIDI information received at its MIDI In port. There are three possible values: Normal The PC2R leaves the MIDI information unaltered. If the Thru/Out switch on the rear panel is set to Thru, the PC2R passes the MIDI information to the MIDI Thru port.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters If the value is Ask, leaving an editor without saving causes the PC2R to ask you if you want to save your edits. You can press Yes or No as desired, or you can press a mode-selection button to cancel your edits and return to a performance mode. Drum Remap Determines the layout of the timbres in drum programs. There are three possible values: Normal Default value. No remapping of drum timbres. PC2ReMap Assigns many timbres to different note numbers.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters FX Chg Mode is Auto; FX Channel is 1–16 Program changes on the channel designated as the FX channel (or program changes in the setup zone that uses the FX channel) change the current effect. This is true for front-panel program changes as well as those received via MIDI. All other programs use the current effect, but retain their own settings for wet/dry mix.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters KB3 MIDI Chan Specifies which channel can play KB3 programs (because they have special processing requirements, KB3 programs are available on only one channel at a time). If you try to assign a KB3 program to a channel that’s not the KB3 channel, the program change won’t take effect. Tuning You can tune the PC2R up or down one semitone, in one-cent increments.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters Xmit Buttons You can generate MIDI SysEx messages when you press the buttons on the PC2R’s front panel. You can also send these messages to the MIDI Out port, enabling you to record them to a sequencer along with note and controller information. This enables you to include operations like muting and soloing, activating the arpeggiator, muting and activating effects—even changing performance modes—as part of the sequence.
Descriptions of Parameters Global Mode Parameters OS Version Not editable. Indicates the version of the currently installed operating system software. Keyboard (Keyboard) and Version (Ver) Not editable (and not important for the PC2R). There are two fields: Keyboard and Ver. The Keyboard field indicates the length of the keyboard (0, of course, since there is no keyboard; in keyboard models of the PC2, this field would have a value of 76 or 88).
Appendix A Maintenance and Upgrades Replacing the Battery Changes that you make to your PC2R settings are stored using a Lithium battery when the PC2R is powered off. When it is time to replace your battery, the PC2R will display the message: Battery|voltage|is|low for a few seconds after being powered up. If this happens, you should replace the battery as soon as possible.
Maintenance and Upgrades Replacing the Battery 4. Grasp the front of the PC2R and slide the top panel straight back until it’s free from the body of the PC2R (see Figure 5-2). Figure 5-2 Removing the top panel Installing the Battery 1. The battery is mounted in a retaining clip that’s mounted vertically on the engine board (see Figure 5-3). Battery Figure 5-3 Location of battery 2. The battery’s positive pole (the flat side) is facing away from you.
Maintenance and Upgrades Replacing the Battery Figure 5-4 Freeing battery from retaining clip 3.

With the positive (+) side of the new battery facing away from you, slide the battery into the retaining clip, pushing down on the battery until it snaps into place.
Maintenance and Upgrades Boot Block Replacing the Top Panel 1. Replace the top panel, aligning the screw holes with the holes in the PC2R’s chassis. 2. Install and tighten the screws. Powering up When you have finished, plug in the power adapter, and turn the power on. You should see the usual start up messages. If the Battery|voltage|is|low message still appears, review the battery replacement steps to see if you missed something.
Maintenance and Upgrades Boot Block The software upgrades are stored as one or more standard MIDI files. Filenames are in the format PC2XVVV.MID, where X is the software block, and VVV is the version number (V.VV). The following table lists the possible values for X. Don’t attempt to install files with names that don’t conform to this format; it won’t work.
Maintenance and Upgrades Boot Block Installing a New Boot Block If the file you are loading is a boot block file with the letter b as the fourth letter in the filename, follow instructions in Setting Up For a Software Upgrade on page A-5, then continue: 1. Scroll to Update boot block and select by pressing Enter. 2. Select via MIDI by pressing Enter. 3. Start playing the MIDI file from the sequencer. While loading, the bottom line of the PC2R’s display will show a message “segment 1 of 1.
Maintenance and Upgrades Boot Block Running the Diagnostics The Run diags option executes the diagnostics that are loaded with the operating system. Some diagnostic tests will erase the PC2R’s memory, which will cause a hard reset when the PC2R is powered on again. Power off and power on your PC2R to leave diagnostics and return to normal operation.

Program and Setup Information PC2R Programs PC2R Programs The programs in Bank 0 and Bank 6 are Internal-Voices programs. The programs in Bank 4 are KB3 programs. There’s one factory program in the User bank (Bank 1), but you can save a user-defined program over it if you want, so there are 128 IDs available in the User bank (you can restore the factory program 127 Sine V2.0 by deleting any user-defined program you may have stored over it).

Appendix D PC2R Drum Maps Drum maps determine the layout of PC2R drum programs with respect to the notes you play on your MIDI source. They don’t control the sounds contained in the drum programs as much as the location of the sounds within the MIDI note range. This means that for any given drum program, changing the drum map changes the sound (if any) that you hear when you play a particular note on your MIDI source. There are three drum maps in the PC2R.
