These Installation Instructions are valid for both the 88-key PC1x and the 61-key PC161 models. For statements that apply equally to both models, the generic name, PC1, will be used. Otherwise the specific model name, either PC1x or PC161, will be used.

Contents of the Kit

Thank you for purchasing a PCR-2 ROM Expansion Kit for the PC1. The PCR-2 for the PC1 provides an array of classic keyboard sounds, and adds 128 programs and 32 setups to your PC1.

Please read all of the introductory information in this document (through Tools and Materials Required for Installation) before proceeding with the installation. Finally, go to Updating Software on page 7 to update your PC1 software.

Contents of the Kit

In addition to this installation guide, your PCR-2 kit should contain the following items:

•Expansion board (single inline memory module, or SIMM)

•CD containing updated PC1 software

•Keyboard overlay with ROM2 sound categories, cut to fit over the Sound Select buttons on the PC1’s front panel

•User’s Guide describing new software features, as well as information about programs and setups

Safety Precautions

To prevent risk of electrocution, make sure that the PC1 is disconnected from its power supply before you begin disassembling the instrument.

Static electricity, even in small amounts, can cause damage to electronic components (especially memory). Before disassembling the instrument, touch a conductive metal surface to discharge any static electricity that you may have built up.

Saving Your Data

You may be upgrading your PC1’s software as part of this installation, which means that you’ll need to do a hard reset before returning to normal operation. The hard reset initializes the PC1 so that it can use the new sounds and programs. It also deletes all userdefined data (programs, setups, and effects) from the PC1’s memory. If you don’t want to lose your user data when you install this option, do a SysEx dump of all objects before you begin the installation.
