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. The PC2R
shows which objects it’s dumping, then returns to the dump|all|objects? prompt
when finished.
A note for K2000/K2500/K2600 owners: The sequencer in the K2000/K2500 has a 64K
maximum for each song. A dump of the entire PC2R memory is larger than 64k, so you can’t use
this method to load objects into a K2000, K2500, or K2600. Instead you must dump individual
objects. If you need to dump all your PC2R objects, you can dump them into several different
songs.
The Program Editor
If you press Edit while in Internal Voices mode, you enter the Program Editor, where you can
make changes to a wide variety of parameters that affect individual programs.
Program Structure
A program consists of one or more sounds and other characteristics, as defined by the program’s
parameters. Each program contains from one to four layers, each of which can have a different
sound, and its own complete set of sound parameters.
Bear in mind that these aren’t the same type of layers that you create when you use the
AutoSplit feature. Those layers are actually zones in a setup, as described on page 3-19. The
layers in a program simply define the nature of the program’s sound. When you’re editing a
program, you can’t add or delete layers, but you can modify the existing layers using any of the
sound parameters.
Program Editing Basics
You’ll remember from Basic Editing Concepts on page 4-1 that the general procedure for editing
involves three steps: entering an edit mode (in this case the Program Editor), finding a
parameter then changing its value, and storing your changes—either replacing the current
program, or creating a new one, renaming it as well if desired.
Let’s take a quick tour of one of the program-editing menus, to familiarize you with the
fundamentals of the Program Editor. Start by calling up Program 000 Stereo Grand.
Entering the Program Editor
Press Edit to enter the Program Editor. For our get-acquainted tour, we’ll look at the Timbre
menu, which is the menu that appears when you enter the Program Editor. Press Enter, and the
display looks like this:
Lyr:1||LP|Filt[1]
Freq:|F#5|740Hz
