Owner’s Manual
The Roland PC-300 is a MIDI keyboard
controller designed to provide for the convenient transmission of Program Change
and Bank Select messages, as well as a variety of other MIDI messages (such as
Reverb and Chorus information) to an
external sound module. It contains no
internal sound source. It is particularly
suited for controlling sound modules that
comply with the GS Format. (Called simply “GS sound modules” in the following.)
What is the GS Format (g)?
The GS Format is a standardized set of
specifications for Roland’s sound sources
which defines the manner in which multitimbral sound generating units will
respond to MIDI messages. All devices
compatible with the GS Format bear the
GS logo. Every module or device with the
GS logo will respond in the same way to
the MIDI messages sent from the PC-300.
Note: All Roland GS sound modules also fully
support Level 1 of the General MIDI System
(
m).
In 1990, the MIDI standard incorporated
the Program Change/Bank Select message
cluster (selection of sounds using both
program numbers and control change
numbers CC00 and CC32). The GS
Format accommodates this form of sound
selection, which allows for a much larger
number of sounds to be selected.
About the sounds contained in a GS
sound module
A GS sound module contains 128 basic
sounds (“Capital Tones”) and a number of
Variation Tones. The mapping for the
Capital Tones is compatible with Level 1 of
the General MIDI System. Capital Tones
are stored in bank 0, while the Variations
are stored in banks 1 through 127. The
number of available Variation Tones
depends on the sound module you are
using. Please see the manual of the sound
module(s) your are using to find out how
may sounds there are and how to access
them.
About the Drum Sets Provided by a GS
Sound Module
The MIDI channel used for the Rhythm
Set/Drum Set/Drum Part of a GM/GS
module (MIDI channel 10) provides for
the use of several Variation Sets in addition to the basic Drum Set (Standard Set:
program change number PC01). Though
most Drum Sets can be selected using program change messages, the module your
are using may also contain a number of
Variation Sets. Please see its manual for
details.
Note: If a Variation Tone or Variation Drum
Set you have requested is not available in the
GS module you are using, the module may not
sound at all, or use a Drum Set with different
sounds.

PC-300
USB connector
The PC-300 comes with a USB connector
that allows you to connect it to an IBM
compatible PC or a Macintosh® computer
fitted with USB connectors (iMac®, G4,
etc.). This connector allows for high-speed
data transfer and supplying power to the
connected devices.
USB drivers
The PC-300 is supplied with various USB
drivers for both IBM compatible and
Macintosh® computers. See the included
booklet for details.
Superb playability and expressiveness
This standard 49-key keyboard velocity
sensitive and therefore allows you to
express even the finest nuances. In addition, an Octave Shift feature allows you to
conveniently shift the soundable range up
or down. Moreover, the PC-300 is
equipped with a Pitch Bend/Modulation
lever, and provides a SUSTAIN SWITCH
jack for connecting a Sustain/Hold pedal.
Complete range of control
features
Since the keyboard provides for sound
selection that uses combinations of
Program Change and Bank Select messages (CC 00 and CC 32), you can also
select any of the Variation Tones that may
be available on a GS sound module.
In addition, a variety of continuous controllers (Control Changes) can be assigned
to the DATA ENTRY slider. The slider can
then be used for controlling the desired
parameter (Reverb or Chorus Depth, for
example) of a GS sound module.
Makes Desk Top Music (DTM)
more enjoyable
The PC-300 is very compact, so it requires
only a minimal amount of desktop space.
The PC-300 is sure to become an invaluable part of any DTM setup, since it can
be used for real-time or step recording, as
well as for practice while listening to
“minus-one” playback.

Selecting sounds
Program Change/Bank Select messages are
used for changing Tones for an instrument
Part, and for changing Drum Sets for the
Drum Part (MIDI channel 10).
Changing sounds in a GS sound module
To change Tones in a GS module, you
need to send Bank Select messages using
control changes CC00 (called “H” here)
and CC32 (called “L”), followed by the
desired Program Number (PC).
The desired sound bank needs to be specified using both an “H”and an “L” value.
Be aware that only sending these two messages is not enough for selecting another
sound. You also need to transmit a
Program Change number.
On the PC-300, these three messages are
always sent as one set:
• Value of control change CC00 (“H”);
• Value of control change CC32 (“L”);
• Program Number.
Note: You can refer to the GS/GM sound
group list printed on the upper-right part of
the PC-300’s panel when specifying a Program
Number. See also the manual of the module
your are using.
[Procedure]
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”.

Selecting Drum Sets on a GS
sound module
The Drum Part (MIDI channel 10) of a
GS module does not respond to Bank
Select messages. However, if you try to
send only a Program Change message
from the PC-300, a Bank Select message
will end up being transmitted along with
it anyway because the data for the last
sound specified will have been retained in
memory. For this reason, you should
always send the value “0” for “H” and “L”,
followed by the Program Number in order
to make sure you obtain the Drum Set you
need.
Note: “L” corresponds to CC32. This Bank
Select message is sometimes used for selecting
other sound module modes. If so, several “L”

Owner’s Manual
Temporarily changing the pitch
of a note (Pitch Bend)
Move the BENDER/MODULATION lever
[1] left or right to transmit Pitch Bend
messages, and apply subtle pitch changes
to the notes you are playing.
Note: The Pitch Bend range (amount of pitch
change) varies depending on the setting of the
Part or module being controlled.
Adding vibrato (Modulation)
Moving the BENDER/MODULATION
lever [1] forward (away from you) will
transmit Modulation messages (CC01),
changing the sound in real time (usually
by adding a vibrato effect).
Note: The change obtained with this message
will vary depending on the settings for your
sound module. In some cases, the filter or volume will be modulated, producing a WahWah
or tremolo effect.
Holding the notes your play
(Sustain)
Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6 or BOSS
FS-5U footswitch to the SUSTAIN
SWITCH jack. Press it while playing one
or several notes to send Hold 1 messages
(CC64), causing the notes to be sustained.
If an electric organ or another sustained
sound is used, the notes will continue for
as long as you have the pedal down.
Pressing the pedal will transmit an ON
value (127), while releasing it will transmit
an OFF value (0).
Note: The CC 64 (Hold 1) function can be
assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider, allowing
you to obtain the damper effect by moving the
slider.

Aftertouch messages if you change its default
setting. Computer users should consult the
owner’s manual of their software, since it may
be possible to assign Channel Aftertouch to the
desired function (volume, pitch, filter) from
within the software.
Changing the velocity
sensitivity
Whenever a key is pressed, the PC-300 not
only transmits the corresponding note
number but also a value describing how
hard you pressed the key. The VELOCITY
function allows you to set the range of
transmitted velocity messages.
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you

This function allows you to set the Reverb
depth for the Part or module you are controlling, and thus to specify how much
Reverb will be added to the Part’s sound.
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”
on page 11.
2.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3.
Press the black G#3 key (REVERB
LEVEL).
4.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
to set the Reverb Send Level (Effect 1
Depth, CC91) of the receiving Part or
module.
Note: On a sound module other than a GS or
General MIDI module, the relevant parameter
may not correctly respond to CC91 messages.
Chorus level
This function allows you to set the Chorus
depth for the Part or module you are controlling.
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”
on page 11.
2.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3.
Press the black A#3 key (CHORUS
LEVEL).
4.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
16
PC-300
to set the Chorus Send Level (Effect 3
Depth, CC93) of the receiving Part or
module.
Note: On a sound module other than a GS or
General MIDI module, the relevant parameter
may not correctly respond to CC93 messages.
Setting the sound location:
Panpot
When the module is connected in stereo,
this parameter determines the stereo
placement (L/R) of the individual sounds
produced. For the Drum Part (MIDI
channel 10), it shifts the overall stereo
placement of percussive instruments (the
overall orientation of the Drum Part on a
GS module).
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”
on page 11.
2.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3.
Press the black C#4 key (PANPOT) in
the DATA ENTRY ASSIGNMENT section
[7].
4.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
to set the Panpot value to be transmitted.
With the slider at the center, the sound
will be oriented in the center. When pulled
all the way forward, the sound will be
heard from the extreme right. When
pushed completely back, the sound will
come from the left.
Note: The Panpot settings work just the other
way around on modules such as the Roland
MT-32, TD-8, and certain others.
Changing the volume
This function allows you to adjust the volume level for the Part you are controlling.
1.
Set the MIDI transmit channel to
match that of the Part or module you
wish to control.
See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel”
on page 11.
2.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
3.
Press the black D#4 key (VOLUME).
4.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED
will go out).
Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
to set the volume (CC07) of the part being
controlled.
If notes are stuck: Panic
The PC-300 also features a PANIC function that allows you to transmit a series of
MIDI messages that will silence the receiving instruments in case some notes go on
sounding forever:
1.
Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will
light).
2.
Simultaneously press the white B4 and
C5 keys (“PANIC”) [11].
This will cause the PC-300 to transmit socalled “Reset” data:
• Note-off for all note numbers (0~127)
on all MIDI channels;
• Reset All Controllers on all MIDI chan-
nels.

Owner’s Manual
ENGLISH
Assigning other control changes to the DATA ENTRY slider
The above messages (Panpot,Volume, etc.) are the basic control change numbers almost
any module receives. There may, however, be other parameters you wish to control in realtime. To do so, assign the control change number of the desired parameter to the DATA
ENTRY slider, and do your thing.
Any controller between CC00 and CC127 can be assigned. Since the PC-300 isn’t equipped
with a display that allows you to monitor the data being transmitted, it is probably not
suited for Registered or Non-Registered Parameter Numbers (RPN or NRPN). Also note
that CC00 and CC32 are usually used as Bank Select messages and that sending a value for
these controllers without a subsequent Program Change number may have no effect at all.

10. Troubleshooting
Q: The PC-300 cannot be switched on or
doesn’t work at all.
A: Check if you are using the correct AC
adapter. (Use only the specified adapter).
A: Check the setting of the POWER switch:
set it to “ON (DC IN)” if you are using
the supplied adapter, and to “ON (USB)”
when powering the PC-300 via the USB
connector. Do not forget to establish a
USB connection with your computer.
Q: The sound module does not respond to the
movements of the DATA ENTRY slider.
A: Check whether the correct function is
assigned to the DATA ENTRY slider.
Also, note that the module will sometimes not respond if the slider is moved
only slightly. If you are unsure, pull the
slider all the way down first and then set
it to the desired position.
A: Check the PC-300’s MIDI transmit
channel (see page 11) and set it so that it
corresponds to the Part’s or module’s
receive channel.
Q: The sound you have requested cannot be
selected.
A: Some GS modules, such as those in the
Sound Canvas series, have a switch
which allows you to turn on or off the
reception of Program Change messages
and/or Bank Select messages. Be sure this
switch is turned ON.
A: Could the sound module have received a
GM System On message (the message
that tells a module to function as a
General MIDI sound module) before
you sent Bank Select messages? Since
Bank Selects are not recognized by the
General MIDI System Level 1 specifications, the module will ignore them if it is
currently behaving as a General MIDI
device. To correct this situation, send a
GS Reset message (which retrieves the
GS default settings), or simply switch the
module off, then on again.
Note: The PC-300 cannot transmit GS Reset
messages.
A: Did you transmit the complete sequence
of values (“H”, “L” and Program
Number)? The PC-300 always transmits
CC00/CC32/PC clusters, even if only the
ENGLISH
Program Number has been specified.
Note also that the Bank Select values are
memorized until the next sound has
been successfully selected. So, if even one
out of the complete set of three values is
mistakenly not supplied, part of the previous values could be sent along with the
newly specified ones. As a result, you
might not obtain the sound you need.
A: Does your computer music application
use Program Numbers 0~127 for sound
selection? Since the PC-300 uses numbers 1~128, you may need to add one to
the number being selected to obtain the
correct sound.
Q: The GS module does not respond to
Aftertouch messages.
A: By default, a GS sound module does not
respond to Aftertouch messages.
Therefore, you need to set the Aftertouch
parameters using Exclusive messages.
(Refer to the MIDI Implementation for
the sound module in question.) If using
a computer-based system, you may be
able to easily make the required settings
using the software.

Bedienungsanleitung
Das PC-300 MIDI-Keyboard von Roland
ist ein Controller, mit welchem Bank- und
Programmwechselbefehle sowie eine ganze
Reihe anderer MIDI-Befehle (darunter
Reverb- und Chorus-Meldungen) zu
externen Modulen übertragen werden
können. Es enthält keine interne
Klangerzeugung, eignet sich aber zum
Steuern von Modulen, die das GS-Format
unterstützen. (Im weiteren Verlauf wollen
wir dieses schlicht “GS-Module” nennen.)
Was ist das GS-Format (g)?
Das GS-Format stellt eine Ergänzung zur
MIDI-Norm dar, die Roland für einige
seiner Module entwickelt hat. Das GSFormat bezieht sich auf die Art, wie
elektronische Instrumente die
empfangenen MIDI-Befehle auswerten.
Alle zum GS-Format kompatiblen
Instrumente führen das GS-Logo und
haben den Vorteil, dass sie sich bei
Empfang der vom PC-300 gesendeten
MIDI-Daten gleich verhalten.
Anmerkung: Alle GS-Module von Roland sind
außerdem hundertprozentig General MIDI
Level 1-kompatibel (
m).
1990 wurde die MIDI-Norm dahingehend
erweitert, dass neben Klangspeichern auch
Klangbänke angewählt werden können
(die Bankanwahl erfolgt mit den
Steuerbefehlen CC00 und CC32, während
die Klanganwahl weiterhin von den
Programmwechsel-Befehlen geregelt
wird). Das GS-Format unterstützt dieses
vielseitigere System.
Klangspeicherstruktur eines GS-Moduls
Ein GS-Modul bietet 128 Basisklänge (die
“Capitals”) sowie eine Reihe von
Klangvariationen. Die Zuordnung der
Basisklänge zu den Programmnummern
entspricht dem General MIDI-System
(Level 1). Die Capitals befinden sich in
Bank 0, während sich die Variationen in
den Bänken 1~127 befinden. Welche
Variationen genau belegt sind, richtet sich
nach dem jeweiligen Modell. Am besten
legen Sie die Bedienungsanleitung des
verwendeten Moduls in Griffweite.
Die “Drum Sets” eines GS-Moduls
MIDI-Kanal 10 (der “Schlagzeugkanal”)
bietet neben dem am häufigsten
verwendeten Standard Set
(Programmnummer PC01) mehrere
Schlagzeugvariationen. Auch die Drum
Sets (Schlagzeugklänge) kann man mit
Programmwechseln aufrufen. Da sich das
Drum Set-Angebot ebenfalls nach dem
verwendeten Modul richtet, schauen Sie
bitte in der Bedienungsanleitung Ihres
Instrumentes nach, welche Drum Sets
belegt sind.
Anmerkung: In bestimmten Fällen ist der
verlangte Variationsklang bzw. das Variation
Drum Set auf dem Empfänger nicht belegt. Je
nach dem verwendeten Empfängermodul
werden die Noten dann entweder überhaupt
nicht oder nicht mit dem gewünschten Klang
(den gewünschten Schlagzeugklängen)
gespielt.

3. Wichtigste Funktionen des PC-300
4
PC-300
USB-Anschluss
Das PC-300 ist mit einer USB-Buchse
ausgestattet und kann also direkt mit
einem IBM-kompatiblen PC oder
Macintosh®-Computer (iMac®, G4 usw.)
verbunden werden. USB erlaubt nicht nur
einen schnellen Datentransfer, sondern
auch die Stromversorgung der
angeschlossenen Geräte.
USB-Treiber
Zum Lieferumfang des PC-300 gehören
mehrere USB-Treiber für sowohl IBMkompatible als auch Macintosh®-Com-
puter. Alles Weitere hierzu erfahren Sie in
dem beiliegenden Heft.
Ausgesprochen musikalisch
Dank des anschlagdynamischen 49Tastenmanuals können Sie mit dem
PC-300 ausdrucksstark musizieren.
Außerdem bietet das PC-300 eine
Oktavierungsfunktion, mit der man den
Notenbereich nach links oder rechts
verschieben kann. Schließlich sind auch
ein Pitch Bend/Modulation-Hebel sowie
eine Anschlussbuchse für ein Haltepedal
(SUSTAIN SWITCH) belegt.
Umfassende MIDI-Kontrolle
Mit dem PC-300 kann man Klänge
externer Module anwählen, indem man
Programm- und Bankwechselbefehle
sendet (Bankwechsel= Steuerbefehle CC00
und CC32). Es kann also jeder beliebige
GS-Klang aufgerufen werden.
Darüber hinaus kann man dem DATA
ENTRY-Regler eine große Anzahl von
MIDI-Steuerbefehlen zuordnen und den
gewünschten Parameter (Hall- oder
Chorus-Tiefe zum Beispiel) dann bequem
mit dem Regler einstellen.
Macht DTM (Desk Top Music)
noch schöner
Dank seiner kompakten Abmessungen,
passt das PC-300 bestimmt auf Ihren
Schreibtisch. Es wird mit Sicherheit ein
wichtiger Bestandteil Ihrer
Computermusik-Anlage. Das PC-300
erlaubt nicht nur, eigene Stücke in Echtzeit
oder Schritt für Schritt aufzuzeichnen,
sondern auch die Melodie zu einem
Standard MIDI File zu spielen (Minus
One).
