USING THE UNIT SAFELY

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should the unit be used improperly.

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of injury or material damage should the unit be used improperly.

* Material damage refers to damage or

other adverse effects caused with respect to the home and all its furnishings, as well to domestic animals or pets.

• Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner’s Manual.

................................................................................................

• Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

................................................................................................

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

................................................................................................

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct

sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or

are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

................................................................................................

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle. In the case of the symbol at left, it is used for general cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger.

The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be carried out (are forbidden). The specific thing that must not be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the unit must never be disassembled.

The ● symbol alerts the user to things that must be carried out. The specific thing that must be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the powercord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

................................................................................................

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

................................................................................................

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

................................................................................................

• Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

................................................................................................

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

................................................................................................

Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

• Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken apart, or thrown into fire or water.

................................................................................................

• Use only the specified AC adaptor ( and make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

PSA Series

................................................................................................

• Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page when:

• The AC adaptor or the power-supply cord has

been damaged; or

• If smoke or unusual odor occurs

• Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been

spilled onto the unit; or

• The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise

has become wet); or

• The unit does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance.

• The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

................................................................................................

• At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

................................................................................................

• Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

................................................................................................

• Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

................................................................................................

• Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

................................................................................................

• Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

................................................................................................

• If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and observe the following precautions (p.16).

• Carefully follow the installation instructions for

batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.

• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In

addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.

• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain

unused for an extended period of time.

• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper

towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then install new batteries. To avoid inflammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the affected area with running water if any of the discharge has entered the eyes.

• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such

as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.

................................................................................................

• Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be observed in the region in which you live.

................................................................................................

• Always grasp only the output plug or the body of the AC adaptor when plugging into, or unplugging from, this unit or an outlet.

................................................................................................

• Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its output plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 2 -3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn off the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Repairs and Data

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer), or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in the unit's memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV Series; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Handling CD-ROMs

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Operation

The PCR-M1 is a controller that transmits MIDI messages. You cannot perform using only the PCR-M1 by itself. You will need to connect it to a sound module or computer. The various controllers ([R1–R8], [S1–S8], [B1–B6], [L1–L3], [P1, P2]) can be assigned almost any message you want to get the control you need for your particular setup. For details on the messages that can be assigned, refer to

Two MIDI ports

* Two MIDI ports are available only when using a USB connection (p. 42–43). When using a MIDI connection (p. 44), the two ports

are merged (combined into one) for output.

Some sequencer software that supports MIDI controllers lets you independently specify the MIDI input port used for recording MIDI tracks (the “MIDI IN port”) and the MIDI input port used to control the software (the “CTRL IN port”).

fig.midi-port.e

Normally, you will connect your MIDI keyboard to the MIDI IN port, and use it for recording your performance on tracks or using the MIDI Thru function of your software to play sound modules or soft synthesizers. The MIDI messages sent here have the meaning that is assigned to them by the MIDI specification. In other words, when you play the keyboard, note messages will be transmitted and recorded on the track, and the sound module that receives these messages will produce sound.

fig.midi-port2.e

In contrast, the data received from the CTRL IN port is used to operate your software in the same way as data from your computer’s mouse or keyboard; it will not be recorded on the tracks or “thru-ed” to your sound module or soft synthesizer. The MIDI messages sent here are interpreted in a completely different way than defined in the MIDI specification. For this reason, messages that are input from the CTRL IN port are not normally “thru-ed” to your sound module or soft synthesizer. For example, even if you play your keyboard to send a note-on message, the software that receives this message will not produce a note; instead, it might interpret this message as meaning that the PLAY/ STOP button had been pressed. The actual operation that will occur will depend on the software you are using.

Bulk dump

The settings of a MIDI sound module can be transmitted as MIDI data by using system exclusive messages. This is useful when you want to store sound module settings on your sequencer or computer. By placing this data at the beginning of your song, you can ensure that your sound module will always be in the correct state whenever that song data is played back. A collection of this type of exclusive data is known as “bulk data,” and the action of transmitting it is known as “bulk dump. “

In KEY VELOCITY MODE, the velocity value is fixed. The PCR-M1 transmits velocity values that correspond to the force with which you play the keyboard, but if KEY VELOCITY is assigned to the VALUE encoder, the fixed velocity value you specify using the VALUE encoder will be transmitted regardless of how you actually play the keyboard. Use KEY VELOCITY MODE if you don’t want the velocity values to be affected by how you play the keyboard.
