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). You can easily create a setup that sends program change information, but doesn’t
play notes on the second keyboard.
1. Go to MIDI Setups mode and select Setup 127 Clear Setup.
2. Press Copy, then Enter. You have now copied a zone from this setup into the edit buffer.
3. Press MIDI Setups, then select Setup 128 Default Setup. Press Copy, then press the Right
cursor button. The display should now say Paste|into|zone|1? Press the Zone 2
button, then Enter. (The display will say Zone|pasted, then revert back to
Paste|into|Zone|2?)You have now pasted all the parameter values from Zone 1 of
Setup 128 into Zone 2 of Setup 127.
4. Press Edit, then press Enter to enter the MIDI Xmit menu. Set the MIDI channels that you
want for Zones 1 and 2.
5. Press the Right cursor button to select the Dest parameter. Set the value for Zone 2 to
MIDI.
6. Press Zone 1, and set the value of its Dest parameter to Local.
7. Press Menu, then find the Program menu and press Enter.
8. Select a program for Zone 1 and a program for Zone 2.
9. Press Menu, then find the Key Range menu and press Enter.
10. Make sure Zone 2 is current, then find the NoteMap parameter, and change its value to
Off.
11. Name and save your setup.
Now when you call up the setup, it will send a program change to your second keyboard, but
since the note map for that zone (and therefore MIDI channel) is turned off, no note information
is sent to the external keyboard when you play your MIDI source.
This procedure is also an example of the Copy and Paste feature. You pasted all the settings and
assignments from the Clear Setup (which has all of its controllers disabled) into the setup you
were editing. This is a quick way to make sure that you don’t accidentally send controller
information to the second keyboard; if you had copied a zone with controller assignments, those
assignments would affect the second keyboard as well.
