MIDI Recv Menu
If youÕre playing the PC2 from another instrument or a sequencer, youÕll use the MIDI Recv
menu for enabling/disabling channels and assigning programs, as well as for adjusting volume,
pan, and wet/dry settings. Intuitive entry makes it easy to move from channel to channel within
the menu.
1. Press and hold

Other Editing Functions
Comparing
Any time you make a change while editing an object, you can easily compare it to the original
object, which is extremely useful for determining whether you want to keep the change.
1. Enter an editor, and change the value of a parameter.
2. Press
Compare
. The PC2 restores the previous value of the parameter. To remind you that
youÕre listening to the unedited value, the
Compare
button blinks, and the top line of the
display shows
Comp
.
3. Press
Compare
again, and PC2 restores your edited value.
The Compare function focuses on your current change, so you can easily recognize it without
hearing the effects of other changes you may have made. HereÕs an example.
1. In Internal Voices mode, select a program with a crisp attack and a short release. Program
040 Clav Classic
works well for this example.
2. Press the
Envelope
button to enter the Program Editor.
3. Change the value of the Attack parameter to its minimum (crank the Alpha Wheel to the
left a few turns). Now you have to hold a key down for the note to reach its full
amplitude.
4. Press
Compare
. The display shows the previous value, and you hear the quick attack.
5. Press
Compare
again. The slow attack returns.
6. Press
>
twice to display the Release parameter.
7. Change the value to its minimum. Now both the attack and the release are slow.
8. Press
Compare
. Both the slow attack and the slow release are gone.
9. Press
Compare
again, and the slow attack and release both return.
