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.
Figure 3-1 The PC2R’s front panel
The two-line, 40-character display (LCD) lets you know what’s going on, whether you’re
performing or editing. There’s more about the display beginning on page 3-5.
In addition to the display, there are three main regions on the PC2R’s front panel. These regions
are labeled in orange at the top of the front panel:
Performance As the label suggests, you’ll use the buttons and knobs in this region
primarily when you’re in one of the performance modes. They affect various
functions, depending on the performance mode. This region also includes the
Power/Volume knob and the Headphones jack.
Edit Use the buttons in this region (along with the Alpha Wheel) to select and edit
parameters when you’re programming your PC2R.
Modes There are two rows of buttons in this region. The buttons in the top row select
the performance mode: Internal Voices, KB3, or MIDI Setups.
The buttons in the bottom row select special modes for configuring your
PC2R: the FX button selects parameters for selecting and routing effects; the
MIDI Receive button selects parameters for determining how the PC2R
responds to certain incoming MIDI messages; the Global button enters a
menu of general parameters that affect the entire PC2R things like overall EQ
and velocity sensitivity, among others).
The Modes region also contains the adjustment knob for the display contrast;
adjust the setting of this knob if you’re having trouble reading the display.
For a more thorough discussion of the buttons and knobs in each region, see page 3-7.
