[. . . ] Press Timbre, then press the Right cursor button until you see Capture|MIDI|Vals?This automatically saves your new setting as the initial value for MIDI 13. You can check this by finding the Init Value parameter for MIDI 13, which now shows your new value. New Global Functions The Global menu contains three new functions, described below. These functions aren't editable; they merely give information about the configuration of your PC2. OS Version Indicates the version of the currently installed operating system software. Expansion Blocks 1 (EXP1) and 2 (EXP2) Indicates whether Expansion Sound Cards 1 and/or 2 are properly installed (in which case the value is Yes for either or both parameters). If you've installed either Expansion Sound Card and the corresponding parameter still has a value of No, you may have a problem with the installation of that Sound Card. PCX-1 Indicates whether the PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion Kit is properly installed. If it is, this parameter also shows the version of the PCX-1's operating system software. If you've installed the PCX-1 and the value is still Not Installed, you may have a problem with the installation. 6 PC2 Version 2 Operating System Software New Features in Version 2 PCXP1 and PCXP2 On instruments that have the PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion Kit installed, this parameter indicates whether Expansion Sound Cards 1 and/or 2 are properly installed on the PCX-1 board. If you've installed either Expansion Sound Card and the corresponding parameter still has a value of No, you may have a problem with the installation of that Sound Card. New KB3 Parameters There are several new KB3-editing parameters (which were first introduced in Version 1. 5). They correspond to the front-panel buttons that control many of the KB3 effects (like chorus, vibrato, and rotary speed). You can still change these effects in KB3 mode using the front-panel buttons, but you can also change the effects from within the KB3 Editor. The following table shows the new parameters, their possible values, and their corresponding front-panel buttons. Menu Timbre Parameter Chor/Vib Switch Rotary Speed Perc Volume Values Off, On Slow, Fast Soft, Loud Slow, Fast Low, High Front-Panel Button Chorus/Vib On/Off (Button 2) Rotary Fast/Slow (Button 1, also labeled Octave Shift) Perc On/Off (also labeled Main, Zone 1) Decay (also labeled Split, Zone 3) Pitch (also labeled Split Layer, Zone 4) Envelope Perc Decay Perc Pitch New Value for MIDI In Parameter The MIDI In parameter, which is in the Global menu, has a new value: Auto. This is the default value. You might want to use this value if you're controlling your PC2 from an external MIDI source like a sequencer. In this case, whenever you're in Internal Voices mode, KB3 mode, or MIDI setups mode, certain incoming MIDI messages get remapped to different Controller numbers. Compare mode now works when you're creating quick layers and splits. Goto Setup The MIDI Controller "Go to Setup" now selects setups in the User bank of setups (Setups 129­256). Previously, it selected setups in the Internal back, which prevented you from using "Go to Setup" to select user-defined setups. To use a switch controller to change setups, remember to set its On Value parameter to a value that's 128 less than the ID of the setup you want to select. For example, if you want to select Setup 129, set an On Value of 1. To select Setup 256, set an On Value of 128. 9 PC2 Version 2 Operating System Software Bug Fixes Since Version 1. 0 MIDI Controller 6 Some programs (like 090 Meteor Strings), use MIDI Controller 6 to control program features. In Program 090, for example, it controls Lopass Filter resonance. When you select this program, it sounds the way it does because the program contains an initial value for MIDI 6. Prior to Version 2, putting this program (or any others that had initial values for MIDI 6) into a setup sometimes affected the sound of that program. That's because the PC2 uses MIDI 6 internally to control other setup features.
