Kurzweil PC2 [27/170] Effects

Kurzweil PC2 [27/170] Effects
Performance Features
The Front Panel
3-5
The MIDI Recv button brings up a menu for conÞguring each MIDI channel when the PC2 is
receiving MIDI from another instrument or a sequencer: program selection, pan and volume
settings, and the wet/dry mix of the effects.
The Panic button sends an All Notes Off message to the PC2 and to the MIDI Out port. If you
ever have stuck notes, this will shut them off. (Pressing the Panic button during startup enables
you to load new software via MIDI, as well as a few other functions).
Effects
The buttons in the Effects region control the two blocks of onboard effects that you can apply to
programs and setups. You can turn the effects on and off, select different effects or reverbs for
each of the effect blocks, and control the wet/dry mix for each effect block. You can specify how
the PC2 assigns effects when you change programs or setups. See Effects on page 3-14 for more
information.
Functions
YouÕll use the buttons in the Functions region when editing programs or setups. The Store
button starts a dialog (the PC2 asks you a question that you answer, usually with Yes or No) for
saving programs or setups. The Copy button lets you copy and paste whole zones within
setups, or from one setup to another. Press the Compare button to hear the difference between
your modiÞed program or setup and the original. WeÕll talk about these more when we discuss
editing (see Copying and Pasting on page 4-8, and Comparing on page 4-7).
Sound Source
The buttons in this region select the bank of programs or setups that the PC2 uses. There are four
buttons: Internal, User, Exp1, and Exp2. Each button represents a sound source, or bank, for
each performance modeÑthat is, there are four easily-accessible banks for each mode. Each
bank can contain up to 128 objects.
In any performance mode, press one of the Sound Source buttons to select a different bank. The
mode youÕre in determines what type of objects are stored in the various banks. (You canÕt mix
object types in the same bank.)
There are eight banks for programs, and four for setups. The banks for Internal Voices mode and
MIDI setups mode are numbered from 0 to 3, and correspond to the Internal, User, Exp1, and
Exp2 buttonsÑInternal is Bank 0, User is Bank 1, and so on. The banks for KB3 mode are
numbered from 4 to 7, with the same correspondence to the Sound Source buttons.
Each Internal bank contains factory programs or setups. Each User bank stores the programs or
setups that you create. Exp1 and Exp2 are empty until you Þll them with programs or setups
from expansion options that you can purchase from your Kurzweil dealer.
Selecting Banks and Programs on MIDI Slaves
When youÕre controlling other instruments from the PC2, you need a way to select programs
from the PC2. Often these programs are stored in banks with IDs higher than 0Ð7. The PC2 can
send a MIDI message that selects any bank numbered from 0 to 16,383, followed by message
that selects a program numbered from 0 to 127 within that bank. See Sending Bank-Select and
Program-Change Messages on page 4-30 to learn how.
