Thanks for buying your PC2R MIDI rack-mount performance synthesizer! It features 16
megabytes of renowned Kurzweil ROM sounds in a convenient one-space rack unit that can
help you sound like a pro on stage or in the studio. We hope you like it.
The PC2R is perfect for adding 64 voices (or even 128 voices) to your performance controller— a
Kurzweil PC2 or any other keyboard or alternative MIDI control source, or a computer with
sequencing software. If you already own a PC2, you already know how to use the
PC2R—although the programming parameters are organized a bit differently. If this is your first
PC2 of any kind, you’ll still find it easy to learn, and highly adaptable to your MIDI system.
Basic PC2R Features
The Sound
The PC2R offers 64-voice polyphony that’s expandable to 128 voices. For maximum flexibility in
connecting to sound systems and processing or recording equipment, the PC2R provides analog
and digital audio outputs, which you can use simultaneously.
There are 256 factory programs, including Kurzweil’s new stereo triple-strike Grand Piano,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, stereo strings, brass, and Take 6 vocal samples—as well as
our critically-acclaimed keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, and percussion sounds. There’s also
room for two Sound ROM Option cards, for up to 48 megabytes of ROM sounds.
For serious Hammond organ fans we offer KB3 Mode, which uses tone-wheel synthesis to
provide superb recreations of the classic B-3 sound—including real-time drawbar control
response and multi-effects settings that include all of the essential features of a Hammond-Leslie
setup—percussion, key click, chorus and vibrato, tube amp distortion, and rotary speakers with
programmable speed control that ramps up and down like the real thing. You can play KB3
programs by themselves or with other programs in setups.
Setups make the PC2R a versatile performance instrument. Each setup contains four zones that
can cover any part of your controller’s keyboard (or any part of the MIDI note range, if you’re
using an alternative control source). Zones can also overlap across the entire note range. You can
program each zone independently—with different programs, physical controller assignments,
and MIDI channels for each zone. Each zone in a setup can be programmed independently to
have arpeggiation enabled or disabled.
Physical Controllers
You’ll probably control the PC2R’s sound from your MIDI source, using its Pitch and Mod
Wheels and/or other physical controllers. You can also control the sound from the front panel of
the PC2R itself, using the four programmable knobs to the left of the display. See page 3-8 for
more information about these control knobs.
1-1
Introduction
Options
Effects
To complement the ROM sounds, there are over 150 multiple effects and 30 reverbs. You can
apply the effects to programs or setups, and you can easily control the wet/dry mix in real time.
You can also program the multi-effects and reverbs for even more control in performance and
recording.
Options
Ask your Kurzweil dealer about the following PC2R options.
Sound ROM Cards
The PC2R has sockets for two ROM expansion cards that you can install yourself (the expansion
kits come with complete instructions). Each expansion card adds 16 megabytes of ROM sounds
to the 16 megabytes of onboard ROM.
Polyphony Expansion Board
There’s a kit for expanding your PC2R’s polyphony from 64 voices to 128 voices. You can install
this kit yourself as well.
Unpacking your PC2R
Your PC2R carton should contain the following:
•PC2R Rack-Mount synthesizer module
•Power adapter
•Four adhesive-backed rubber feet
•This manual
•Warranty card
You might want to keep the PC2R carton and packing materials for easy shipping or transport.

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15
OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS
SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TWO
CONDITIONS:
(1) THIS DEVICE MAY NOT CAUSE
HARMFUL INTERFERENCE
(2) THIS DEVICE MUST ACCEPT ANY
INTERFERENCE RECEIVED, INCLUDING
INTERFERENCE THAT MAY CAUSE
UNDESIRED OPERATION.
Caution : Use only the power supply that comes with your PC2R, or a replacement purchased
from an authorized Kurzweil dealer. Using a different power supply can seriously damage your
PC2R!
Connect the keyed plug to the AC In connector. Figure 2-3 shows the correct orientation of the

Key
Figure 2-3Proper orientation of plug
Place the power supply somewhere where it will stay dry and out of the way. We recommend
keeping it on the floor. Never cover the power supply with anything; it needs adequate
ventilation to prevent overheating.
Connect the plug at the other end of the power-supply cable into a standard power outlet. If you
plan to take your PC2R to a location that uses a different voltage level, you’ll need to get an
additional power supply that’s compatible with the local voltage.
2-2
The PC2R’s Power Switch/Volume knob (in the top left corner of the front panel) will probably
be in the off position when you plug the instrument in for the first time. If it happens to be on,
we recommend that you turn it off before making any further connections.
Audio
Basic Connections
The PC2R features balanced left and right analog audio outputs with 1/4-inch jacks. For best
results, use balanced cables to connect to balanced, line-level inputs on your mixer or sound
system.
It’s important to use shielded, twisted-pair cables. The cables should each have 1/4-inch stereo
(tip-ring-sleeve) plugs on one end to connect to the PC2R. The other end of each cable should
have either 1/4-inch stereo plugs or XLR plugs. Cables of this type provide balanced operation,
which greatly reduces many types of noise. Unbalanced cables or sound-system inputs won’t
give you quite the same audio quality.
For best performance, set the PC2R’s Master Volume knob to its maximum when adjusting
mixer or sound-system levels. Otherwise, if you adjust the PC2R’s level by increasing the level
of your sound system, you’ll increase the noise level.
If you’re using a monaural sound system or running the PC2R’s audio into a single mixer
channel, we recommend configuring the PC2R for mono output, in which case the PC2R sends
the same one-channel signal to the left and right sides of both the analog and digital outputs. See
page 4-31 for information about using mono audio output mode.
The PC2R has a headphone jack, which carries the same signal as the main outputs (that’s true
whether you’re using stereo or mono output). The headphone jack accepts a standard 1/4-inch
stereo plug, and is compatible with nearly all types of headphones. Plugging into the
headphones jack does not mute the other audio outputs.
Startup
Digital Output
MIDI
You can also use the headphone jack as an unbalanced stereo line-level output. Just connect a
stereo cable from the headphone jack to a stereo input on your mixer or sound system. If you
have only unbalanced inputs to your sound system, you’ll get better audio quality using the
headphone jack.
With the PC2R, you can take advantage of the growing number of digital recorders and mixers
on the market. Connect a 75-Ohm coaxial cable from the PC2R’s RCA Digital Out jack to the
AES or S/PDIF input of the receiving device. You may need an RCA-to-XLR adapter to connect
with the receiving device. If the receiving device receives only optical signals, you’ll need a
converter as well.
You can use the analog and digital audio outputs at the same time. There are five parameters in
the Global menu that control the digital output configuration. You may want to edit some of
these parameters, depending on how you’re using the PC2R’s digital output. In many (perhaps
most) cases, however, the default values provide the best performance. For more information,
see the descriptions of the digital audio output parameters, beginning on page 5-41.
The PC2R accepts most standard (and several specialized) MIDI messages at its MIDI In port. It
also has an Out port and a switchable Thru/Out port, so it can transmit certain MIDI
messages—like program changes and system-exclusive (SysEx) information—as well as passing
the MIDI information it receives on to other MIDI gear.
The typical MIDI configuration for the PC2R is to connect its MIDI In port to the MIDI Out port
of a MIDI control source—a keyboard, an alternative controller like a wind or percussion
controller, or a sequencer. The PC2R can receive information independently on all 16 MIDI
channels.
2-3
Startup
Powering Up
Use the MIDI Out port and/or the programmable Thru/Out port if your PC2R is part of a more
complex MIDI system.
Even if your MIDI source can transmit on only one MIDI channel, you can make it more
powerful with the PC2R, which can remap incoming MIDI information to four different MIDI
channels, each playing a different sound.
MIDI Configurations
You’re likely to set up your PC2R in some variation of one of three basic configurations:
•As s MIDI slave only, for use as a sound module; connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI source
to the PC2R’s MIDI In.
•With a dedicated or computer-based sequencer or digital recording unit, for recording and
multi-timbral (multi-channel) playback; connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI source to the
MIDI In of your sequencer, and connect the MIDI Out of the sequencer to the MIDI In of
the PC2R. In this case you’ll probably want to use MIDI Receive mode instead of the
performance modes (see page 3-3 for more information).
•As both a MIDI slave and MIDI master, enabling you to pass MIDI information through the
PC2R and play additional mult-timbral sound sources; connect the MIDI Out of your MIDI
source to the MIDI In of the PC2R, and connect the MIDI Out and/or MIDI Thru/Out to the
MIDI In of one or more additional instruments.
MIDI Thru/Out
This jack has two functions: it can be a MIDI Out port, enabling you to send directly to two
different slaves, or it can be a MIDI Thru port, in which case it passes along whatever MIDI
information that the PC2R receives at its MIDI In port (but not the MIDI information that the
PC2R itself generates). This makes it easy to include the PC2R in a chain of multiple MIDI
devices, which is a common configuration when you’re using a computer for sequencing.
There’s a small switch labeled Thru/Out on the PC2R’s rear panel (as you face the rear panel,
the switch is to the left of the MIDI In port). You should be able use a finger to flip the switch to
the desired position. If that doesn’t work, use a small pointed object—a ball-point pen works
nicely.
Powering Up
When you’ve made all your connections, you’re ready to turn on the on the PC2R. First, turn the
Power/Volume knob all the way to the left, then push it until it clicks. All of the lights on the
front panel flash, and the liquid-crystal display (LCD) shows a series of messages. The first time
you power up the PC2R, the display looks like this:
Bank:0||Internal||1A
000|Stereo Grand|
Caution: Before playing, we recommend that you turn the Volume knob all the way down (to
the left), and gradually raise the volume while playing from your MIDI source. This way you
won’t cause any pain or damage if there’s too much gain in your sound system.
2-4
When you turn the power off, the PC2R remembers the performance mode you’re in (or the
corresponding editor). The next time you turn it on, it comes up in that mode.
Display (LCD)
The PC2R’s 40-character liquid-crystal display tells you what’s going on, whether you’re
playing or editing. Depending on your viewing angle (and possibly the temperature), you may
need to adjust the contrast for better visibility. There’s a small black knob at the far right of the
front panel, which adjusts the LCD contrast so you can read the display easily in different
lighting conditions.
LEDs
Most of the buttons on the PC2R’s front panel contain light-emitting diodes that indicate the
status of the features that the buttons control. They should all flash as the PC2R starts up.
Software Upgrades
The PC2R contains a type of reloadable computer memory called Flash ROM, which makes
software upgrades fast and easy. You can learn about new features from your Kurzweil dealer,
or from our website (www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com). See Boot Block on page A-4 for
software-installation instructions.
Startup
Powering Up
Playing the Demo Sequences
The PC2R features two demonstration sequences that show what you can do with a PC2R and a
MIDI sequencer. The demos were recorded using PC2R sounds and effects exclusively.
1. Press the MIDI Receive and Global buttons together (notice the word Demo on the front
panel under these two buttons). The display shows
(Cancel|to|exit). The LEDs in the Main and Layer buttons flash. If you decide not to
play a demo, press Cancel to return to the previous mode.
2. Press Main to play the first demo, or press Layer to play the second. During playback, you
can stop the demo by pressing Cancel.
Troubleshooting
No Text in Display
If no messages are displayed when you turn on the power on your PC2R and no LEDs flash,
check the power adapter connections at the AC outlet and the PC2R Adapter In jack.
Low Battery
When you turn your PC2R off, a lithium battery protects the memory that the PC2R uses to store
user-defined programs and setups, and other editing changes that you’ve saved. Every time you
turn on your PC2R, it automatically checks the battery voltage. If it’s getting low, you’ll see a
message like this before the PC2R finishes starting up:
Select|a|demo...
and
|Battery|voltage|is
||low|(2.0|volts)
When you see this message, you should replace your battery immediately, to avoid losing your
data. See page A-1 for instructions.

No Sound
If no sound comes from the audio or headphones outputs of your PC2R when you play your
MIDI control source, check the following:
•The Volume knob might be set too low.
•Your MIDI connection may not be functioning: check that you have a MIDI cable connected
from the MIDI Out port of your MIDI source to the MIDI In port of the PC2R. The LED in
the MIDI Receive button blinks when the PC2R receives MIDI information.
•Your MIDI source may not be sending MIDI information.
•The channel on which you’re sending MIDI may be inactive in the PC2R: Press the
MIDI Receive button; use a cursor button or the Alpha Wheel to select the channel that
your MIDI source is using; use a cursor button to select the Channel On/Off parameter; turn
the Alpha Wheel to the right to change the value to On.
•There may be no current program or setup selected (the display shows
•If your MIDI source has a continuous pedal, check the connection, and check the position of
the pedal.
•You might be in MIDI Setups mode with all zones muted (inactive): press any or all of the
four buttons labeled Zone 1–Zone 4, and the lights in the buttons will turn green.

If your MIDI connections and channel assignments are OK, you should be able to change
programs from your MIDI source—which is probably how most people do it. If you want to
change programs from the PC2R however, you can. Just turn the Alpha Wheel in either direction
to scroll through the list of available sounds.
There’s more about selecting programs and setups beginning on page 3-13.
Demonstration Sequences
There are two demo sequences stored in ROM. These demos were recorded using PC2R sounds
and effects exclusively. See page 2-5 to learn how to play the demo sequences.
Also In This Chapter
Chapter 3 shows you how to get the most out of your PC2R in performance. The overview
introduces a few important features and concepts, while the remaining sections provide more
detail.
We’ll start by explaining how the PC2R is organized. In this overview we’ll discuss modes,
programs and setups (and how they’re organized), objects, banks, and something called the Internal
Setup. (described on page 4-14) We’ll also briefly mention EQ (equalization) and effects.
The PC2R has six modes. Each mode provides a different set of functions. You’ll choose modes
depending on what you want to do with the PC2R. There are two kinds of modes: performance
modes for playing sounds, and edit modes for programming them.
The three main performance modes are Internal Voices mode, KB3 mode, and MIDI Setups
mode. You’ll use one of these modes whenever you’re playing your PC2R. Each mode organizes
sounds into programs or setups, which we’ll describe below. Select a performance mode by
pressing the corresponding button in the Modes region at the right side of the front panel.
Each of the performance modes has its own editor, where you can make changes to individual
programs and setups.
There are also three special modes for programming effects, making channel-by-channel control
assignments, and configuring the whole PC2R.
Performance Modes
Internal V oices (Programs)
Internal Voices mode lets you play one internal voice (program) at a time. A program consists of
one or more sounds (like piano or strings), and the settings (parameters) that affect those
sounds—for example, the highest and lowest notes for a particular sound. The PC2R starts in
Internal Voices mode the first time you turn it on (after that, it starts in the performance mode
you were in when you turned it off). See Program Structure on page 4-12 for more information
about what’s in a program.
KB3 Mode (KB3 Programs)
In KB3 mode, the PC2R uses a different synthesizer technique (tone wheel emulation) to
reproduce the sound of classic tone-wheel organs (like the Hammond B-3). In most other
respects, KB3 mode is like Internal Voices mode. See KB3 Program Structure on page 4-15 for
details.
MIDI Setups Mode (Setups)
MIDI Setups mode is what makes the PC2R such a flexible MIDI rack unit. In this mode you
play setups instead of programs. Each setup can play up to four different programs, each on its
own MIDI channel. See Setup Structure on page 4-16 for more information.
3-2
Special Modes
While you’re in Internal Voices mode, press Main to go to a special setup editor that controls the
internal setup (see Editing the Internal Setup on page 4-32 for more information). The internal
setup defines controller assignments and other characteristics for all the programs in Internal
Voices mode. Pressing Main also enables you to create quick layers and splits, as described on
page 3-18.
Effects Edit Mode
Press the FX button to get to Effects edit mode, where you can select and edit the effects
associated with each program and setup. Effects edit mode is also accessible through the
Program, KB3, and Setup Editors, but it’s often more convenient to go directly to Effects edit
mode: just press FX, and you’re immediately looking at the first menu of effects parameters for
the current program or setup.
There’s an exception that occurs when the value of the FX Chg Mode parameter—in the Global
menu—has a value of Panel. In this case, you can still get directly to Effects edit mode by
pressing the FX button, but Effects edit mode controls the effects for the entire PC2R, not just the
current program or setup.
MIDI Receive Mode
Use MIDI Receive mode to configure each MIDI channel independently (this is the mode to use
when you’re driving your PC2R from a multi-channel sequencer). You might think of this mode
as a special performance mode for configuring individual MIDI channels—program
assignment, volume and pan settings, effects routing, and the wet/dry mix of the effects.
Playing Y our PC2R
Overview
Global Mode
Objects
EQ
Use Global mode to make changes that affect the entire PC2R—for example, tuning and
transposition, MIDI clock source, program-change protocol, and more.
Throughout this manual, we’ll occasionally mention objects, which may sound a bit technical, so
we’ll explain. Object is just a convenient name we use to refer to any chunk of information that
the PC2R stores or processes. Programs and setups are objects, for example. So are effects. Many
PC2R objects are invisible to you, but you’ll be working regularly with the highest-level objects:
programs, setups, and effects. When you’re editing programs, there’s a good chance you’ll work
with other important objects: keymaps. You might also use System Exclusive (SysEx) messages
to store programs, setups or effects to an external device—or use a single SysEx message to store
all the objects you’ve modified while editing.
Whichever mode you’re in, the PC2R can apply three-band equalization (EQ) to the programs
you’re playing. Press the Global button to view the current EQ setting. See page 3-14 for more
about changing the EQ settings.

Effects
There are over 150 preset effects, including reverbs, delays, choruses, flangers, phasers, tremolo,
panners, envelope filters, distortions, rotary speakers, compressors, enhancers, waveform
shapers, and multi-effect combinations. There are also 30 preset reverbs. See page 3-15 for more
information about effects.

Figure 3-1The PC2R’s front panel
The two-line, 40-character display (LCD) lets you know what’s going on, whether you’re
performing or editing. There’s more about the display beginning on page 3-5.
In addition to the display, there are three main regions on the PC2R’s front panel. These regions
are labeled in orange at the top of the front panel:
PerformanceAs the label suggests, you’ll use the buttons and knobs in this region
primarily when you’re in one of the performance modes. They affect various
functions, depending on the performance mode. This region also includes the
Power/Volume knob and the Headphones jack.
EditUse the buttons in this region (along with the Alpha Wheel) to select and edit
parameters when you’re programming your PC2R.
ModesThere are two rows of buttons in this region. The buttons in the top row select
the performance mode: Internal Voices, KB3, or MIDI Setups.
The buttons in the bottom row select special modes for configuring your
PC2R: the FX button selects parameters for selecting and routing effects; the
MIDI Receive button selects parameters for determining how the PC2R
responds to certain incoming MIDI messages; the Global button enters a
menu of general parameters that affect the entire PC2R things like overall EQ
and velocity sensitivity, among others).
The Modes region also contains the adjustment knob for the display contrast;
adjust the setting of this knob if you’re having trouble reading the display.
3-4
For a more thorough discussion of the buttons and knobs in each region, see page 3-7.
Color-Coded Labeling
Most of the buttons to the right of the display are labeled in a single color: white. These buttons
have similar or related functions in most performance and editing modes.
Most of the buttons and knobs in the Performance region, however, are labeled with more than
one color, or with more than one function. These multi-purpose buttons and knobs do different
things depending on which mode you’re in. The color of the labeling in the Performance region
corresponds to the color of the labeling of the mode-selection buttons: white corresponds to
Internal Voices mode, orange corresponds to KB3 mode, and blue corresponds to MIDI Setups
mode.
For example, there’s a button labeled Solo in white, and Rotary fast/Slow in orange. In Internal
Voices mode, this button (Solo) switches to AutoSplit mode and solos the current zone.When
you’re in KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow rotary effects for the current
KB3 program. Any button with labeling in more than one color has different functions in
different performance modes.
The Display (LCD)
The display looks quite different in each mode, so we’ll show you examples of each.

Playing Y our PC2R
The Front Panel
You’ll find KB3-mode programs in banks with IDs 4 and 5. Unlike Internal-Voices programs and
setups, they don’t display a bank index.
KB3 programs use tone-wheel synthesis to produce sound. When you select a KB3 program (or
a setup that contains one), the tone wheels start up and run constantly while the program is in
use. This requires quite a bit of processing, and consequently has an effect on the polyphony
available for other programs. KB3 programs use 44 of the PC2R’s 64 available voices, so when
you use a KB3 program in a setup, you have 20 voices of polyphony available for the remaining
programs in the setup.
Because of the special processing requirements of KB3 programs, you can play only one KB3
program at a time (this is true in all performance modes). There’s a parameter in the Global
menu called KB3 MIDI Chan, which specifies which MIDI channel is available for playing KB3
programs. You can’t play KB3 programs on any other channel. This is important to note if you’re
playing the PC2R from an external sequencer. In this case, make sure that the sequencer selects
KB3 programs only on the KB3 channel; otherwise, the KB3 program won’t play.
KB3 programs have nine adjustable drawbar settings, with harmonic wavelengths ranging from
1 to 16 feet. You can change the drawbar settings using the drawbar controls: Knobs A–D and
the Drawbar Toggle (Shift) button. Here’s how it works:
When the LED in the Drawbar Toggle button is green, Knobs A–D represent drawbars 1–4 (the
four longest—or lowest-pitched—harmonic wavelengths). Press the Drawbar Toggle button,
and its LED turns amber. The knobs then represent drawbars 5–8 (shorter, higher-pitched
wavelengths). Press Drawbar Toggle again, and its LED turns red. Now Knob A controls
Drawbar 9 (the shortest), and Knobs B–D control other KB3 features.
There are nine digits in the bottom line of the display that show the current drawbar values.
From left to right, they correspond to drawbars 1–9. Moving one of the drawbars changes the
corresponding drawbar values, and changes the nature of the organ sound.
Try it out. Make sure you’re in KB3 mode, then move one of the knobs. You’ll see one of the
values on the bottom line change. By default, moving a knob all the way to the left is equivalent
to pulling out the drawbar on a real organ. The corresponding value is 8. Conversely, turning
the knob all the way to the right is equivalent to pushing the drawbar in, with a corresponding
value of 0. If you change the value of the MIDI In parameter (in the Global menu) to Normal or
Merge, you’ll reverse the effect of the drawbar control knobs.
When the Drawbar Toggle LED is red, the Pre-Amp knob (Knob B) is at minimum when all the
way to the left. The Chorus/Vib On/Off knob (Knob C) turns chorus or vibrato off when you
turn it to the left past the halfway point, and on when you turn it to the right past the halfway
point. The Chorus/Vib Depth knob (Knob D) scrolls through the chorus and vibrato settings as
you turn the knob from left to right.
To the left of the drawbar values, there’s a letter (either P or L) that indicates whether the
program has preset or “live” drawbar values. A program with preset drawbars always starts
with the same factory-set drawbar values when you select the program. Moving the drawbar
controls changes their values temporarily, but the next time you select that program, the
drawbars will once again be at their preset startup values. (You can edit the startup values for
programs with preset drawbars; see Changing Preset Drawbar Values on page 4-32.)
A program with live drawbars starts with drawbar values that reflect the positions of the
drawbar controls. Moving the drawbar controls changes their values further. Most of the KB3
programs have preset drawbars, although you can also edit them to have live drawbars.

index is a letter followed by a numeral, which is the opposite of the way the bank index looks in
Internal Voices mode. This is convenient if you’re controlling the PC2R from a PC2, because you
can use the Group button on the PC2 to select a group of setups, then use the Sound Select
buttons to select one of the 16 setups in that group.

The Performance Region
Depending on how you use your PC2R, you may control it more from your MIDI source than
from the PC2R’s front panel. Still, we’ve tried to organize the front panel so that everything you
might need in a performance situation is easy to reach, and separate from the programming
functions.
There are two rows of buttons and knobs in the Performance region. Their functions vary
depending on your performance mode.
S to indicate that you’re playing a setup—although in Setups
Solo
In either Internal Voices mode or MIDI Setups mode, pressing this button turns on the solo
feature (if you’re in Internal Voices mode, the PC2R switches to AutoSplit mode—a special
performance configuration of MIDI Setups mode.). When the Solo feature is on, (that is, when
its LED is lit), pressing one of the Zone buttons solos that zone, so you hear that zone only. See
page 3-21 for more about muting and soloing.
In KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow rotary effects (if any) for the current
program.
Main
In Internal Voices mode, this button takes you to AutoSplit mode—a special performance and
editing configuration of MIDI Setups mode. In this case, the Zone 2–Zone 4 buttons add splits
or layers, as indicated (see page 3-18 for more information about layering and splitting).
In KB3 mode, this button turns the percussion effect on or off for the current program.
In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 1 for viewing or editing. Press it again to
mute/unmute the zone.

In KB3 mode, this button switches between low and high volume for the percussion effect (if
any) for the current program.
In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 2 for viewing or editing.
In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a new
sound below a preset split point.
In KB3 mode, this button switches between fast and slow decay for the percussion effect (if any)
for the current program.
In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 3 for viewing or editing.
In Internal Voices mode, this button switches the PC2R into AutoSplit mode, and adds a layer to
the sound below the split point.
In KB3 mode, this button switches between high and low pitch for the percussion effect (if any)
for the current program.
In MIDI Setups mode, this button selects Zone 4 for viewing or editing.
In any performance mode, pressing Split and Split Layer together is an editing shortcut that
displays the AutoSplit Key parameter. You can then use the Alpha Wheel to change the
AutoSplit key (or hold down the Enter button and play a note on your MIDI source). Press
Cancel to return to your performance mode.
Shift
The Shift button controls the functions of Knobs A–D (described below). Each time you press
Shift, its LED changes color—from green to amber to red. Each of these states causes
Knobs A–D to have a different set of functions. The default functions of the knobs depend on
your performance mode (they do different things in each mode). You can program them for
different functions as well.
Knobs A–D
In Internal Voices mode and MIDI Setups mode, Knobs A–D control various program
characteristics, as defined by a series of parameters in the Controllers menu in the Setup Editor.
Remember that controller assignments in Internal Voices mode are defined by the internal setup,
which you can edit in AutoSplit mode (which is a subset of the Setup Editor)—while in Internal
Voices mode, press Main; hold Global and move a knob to select its Ctrl Num parameter;
change its value; press Store; press the Internal Voices button at the Save prompt. See page 3-23.

In KB3 mode, Knobs A–D adjust drawbar lengths, pre-amp settings, and chorus/vibrato
settings for KB3 programs. You’ll notice that these knobs each have three rows of labeling in
orange. Each row of labeling corresponds to one of the states of the Drawbar Toggle LED. The
default assignments for the knobs are as follows:
If your MIDI source has programmable sliders or other physical controllers, you can program
those controllers to work the way Knobs A–D work. See page B-12 for a list of the MIDI
Controller messages that affect PC2R features.
The Edit Region
There are eight buttons, and a dial called the Alpha Wheel, in the Edit region. Most of the
buttons you’ll need for programming (editing) your PC2R are in this region. (We’ll discuss
editing thoroughly in Chapter 4.)
Four of the buttons in the Edit region have dual labels. For readability, when we refer to these
buttons, we’ll describe them according to the situation, instead of using the full name. For
example, to enter an edit mode, we’ll instruct you to press Edit (not Edit/Store).
Edit/Store
Press the Edit button to enter the edit mode corresponding to your current performance
mode.This is where you make changes to the parameters that define programs, setups, and
effects. See Chapter 4 for specifics about programming your PC2R.
Once you’re in an edit mode, this button becomes the Store button. Press Store to bring up a
Save dialog, then either press Yes to save the current object, or use the cursor buttons to select
another related function. See Naming and Storing on page 4-3 for more information.
Group/Menu
In all three performance modes, this button is the Group button, and selects categories of
programs or setups. (See page 3-13 for more information about using the Group button to select
programs and setups by category.)

Cursor Buttons
To select a program or setup this way, press the Group button to display a category of programs
or setups. Use the Alpha Wheel or cursor buttons to scroll through the categories. Press Enter to
select the first program or setup in that category.
If you’re in Internal Voices mode or KB3 mode, you can scroll all the way through the Internal
Voices categories and into the KB3 categories (and vice versa). The PC2R automatically switches
to the corresponding performance mode. Setups are separate, however; you can’t switch
performance modes by scrolling through setup categories.
When you’re editing programs or setups, press Menu to select the first menu of programming
parameters in the current edit mode. Use the cursor buttons to view the available menus, then
press Enter to view the parameters in the current menu. When you’re viewing parameters, press
Menu again to return to the list of menus.
These are the Left and Right arrow buttons under the Edit/Store and Group/Menu buttons.We
call them cursor buttons because they control the cursor, which is a bar that appears under one of
the characters in the display. The position of the cursor indicates what’s selected for changing or
editing.
The following table shows what happens in each performance mode when you press one of the
cursor buttons.

You’ll also use the cursor buttons when editing, to select what you want to edit. See Basic Editing
Concepts on page 4-1 for more about the cursor buttons.
Compare
When you’re editing, the Compare button lets you listen to the effect of a change, then to check
the original. See page 4-8 for details.
Copy
When you’re editing setups, you can copy a zone and paste it into another zone, either in the
same setup, or in a different setup.
Cancel/No
Use this button to exit from edit modes, and to answer “No” to prompts in the display (like
Save|Voice|1?).

Enter/Yes
Use this button to enter program or setup categories in performance modes, to get into menus
while editing, and to answer “Yes” to prompts in the display.
The Modes Region
The six buttons in the Modes region take you to various performance and editing modes.
Internal V oices
Press this button to get to Internal Voices mode from any performance or editing mode. Internal
Voices is the mode to use for playing Internal-Voice programs.
KB3
Press this button to get to KB3 mode from any performance or editing mode. KB3 mode offers
several programs that emulate the classic B-3 organ.
MIDI Setups
Press this button to get to MIDI Setups mode from any performance or editing mode. Use MIDI
Setups mode when you want to play programs on up to four different MIDI channels.
FX
The FX button takes you to the FX Routing menu in the edit mode that corresponds to your
current performance mode. For example, if you’re in MIDI Setups mode, pressing FX takes you
to the Setup Editor (the Zone Parameters menu).
Playing Y our PC2R
The Front Panel
From the FX Routing menu, you can assign a different effect to the current program or setup,
and you can edit the current effect. See page 4-28 for more information about editing effects.
MIDI Receive
This button takes you to MIDI Receive mode, where you can configure how the PC2R responds
to incoming MIDI information. The first time you enter MIDI Receive mode after powering up,
the display shows Channel 1, because the PC2R resets the MIDI Receive channel each time you
shut down. Until you shut down again, the PC2R tracks which channel you’re viewing even
after you’ve left MIDI Receive mode, so the next time you enter MIDI Receive mode, the display
shows the channel you were most recently viewing.
Use the cursor buttons to select the parameters for each channel. You can scroll beyond the
parameters for a given channel and move to the parameters for the next higher or lower
channel. A faster way to jump to a different channel is to select the Channel parameter (that is, to
move the cursor under the channel number), then use the Alpha Wheel to change channels. You
can press either MIDI Receive or Cancel to jump immediately to the Channel parameter.
Another navigation short cut is to press both cursor buttons at the same time. When you do this,
you jump to the corresponding parameter for the next higher channel (or back to Channel 1 if
you’re looking at channel 16).
