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:
A value of Linear (the default) is the standard, unaltered level of sensitivity. Values of
Light1–Light3 are for players who have a light touch—that is, you can play more lightly and
still get the same attack-velocity values. Light1 is more sensitive than Linear, and Light3 is the
most sensitive.
Values of Hard1–Hard3 are for players who have a heavier touch—that is, you can play harder
and still get the same attack-velocity values. Hard1 is less sensitive than Linear, and Hard3 is the
least sensitive.
Change Setups (Chg Setups)
Determines what the PC2R does when you select a setup.
Immediate
Default value. The newly-selected setup becomes active as soon as you select it. Any notes being
held by the PC2R (or by Kurzweil instruments receiving MIDI from the PC2R) continue with
their normal decays. Non-Kurzweil MIDI slaves may cut off notes as soon as the PC2R’s setup
changes.
Keys Up
The newly-selected setup becomes active only after you’ve physically released all keys (notes
held with Sustain or other MIDI Controllers don’t delay the change). Any notes being held by
the PC2R (or by Kurzweil instruments receiving MIDI from the PC2R) continue with their
normal decays. Non-Kurzweil MIDI slaves may cut off notes as soon as the PC2R’s setup
changes.
Setup Change Channel (Setup Chg Chan)
Enables the PC2R to change setups when it receives a program-change message from an external
MIDI source. This is useful when the PC2R is controlled by another instrument or a sequencer.
The possible values are None (the default, which disables this feature), and 1–16.
Set the value of this parameter to match the channel on which you want to send program-
change messages from the external source. Make sure that none of your external MIDI sources
uses that channel for any other purpose; if the PC2R receives a program-change message on that
channel from any MIDI source, it will change setups, which may not be what you want.
When you’ve set this parameter’s value to a specific MIDI channel, bank-select messages with
values of 0–3 received on that channel select setup banks 1–4.
