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. Select a zone that matches the MIDI channel used by your MIDI
source.
3. Program your MIDI source so that one of its switch controllers sends MIDI 67. This
probably should be a toggle switch (which stays on when you release it, then goes off
when you press it again), and not a momentary switch (which goes off when you release it).
If you use a momentary switch for transposition, the transposition will be in effect only
while you’re holding the switch in the on position (of course, this may be the result you
want).
4. Hold the Global button, and press the controller on your MIDI source. You should see the
On Ctrl parameter for SwitchPdl 3 in the display.
5. Change the value of On Ctrl to TransUp (it’s near the end of the list of values). This
automatically changes the value of the Off Ctrl parameter to TransUp as well.
6. Select the On Value parameter, and set its value at 5.
7. Select the Off Ctrl parameter, and change its value to TransDown.
8. Select the Off Value parameter, and set its value at 5.
9. Repeat this procedure for all zones in the setup (unless you want to transpose some zones
and not others).
Now when you press the controller on your MIDI source, it transposes the setup up a fourth.
Press it again to remove the transposition.
Effects Edit Mode
Effects edit mode has two functions: changing the effects associated with the current program or
setup (or the entire PC2R), and modifying the nature of the effects that are currently in use.
Effects Change Mode
The effects change mode determines whether the PC2R automatically selects effects when you
select a program or setup. The effects change mode is controlled by the FX Chg Mode parameter,
which is one of the parameters in Global mode (press the Global button to get to Global mode).
By default, this parameter’s value is Auto, which means that regardless of your performance
mode, the PC2R automatically selects the effects associated with whatever object you select—a
program or a setup. FX Chg Mode is closely tied to the FX Channel parameter, which determines
whether a program change on a particular channel can also change the current effect.
If you change the value of FX Chg Mode to Panel, the PC2R doesn’t automatically select effects
when you select a program or setup, and the only way to change the effects is to select them
manually in Effects edit mode, using the FXA Select and FXB Select parameters (Press the
FX button to enter Effects edit mode). When the value of FX Chg Mode is Panel, the effects you
