Programming your PC1
Basic Editing Concepts

This works for any parameter in the Controllers menu; press the cursor buttons at the same time,
and you jump to the corresponding parameter for the next controller in the menu. But you can’t
jump backward in the menu.
Setting the Controller Values of a Setup Zone
When a parameter has a long list of values, using a continuous controller to change the value like
the following can be faster than using the Alpha Wheel.
1. Go to Setup edit mode if you aren’t already there, and press Edit.
2. Select a controller parameter by using the above method.
3. Press and hold Enter, and move one of the continuous controllers on your PC1 (this is
the intuitive entry part of the procedure). You’ll see the value of the Ctrl Num
parameter change.
This technique is convenient for moving quickly from one end of the list to the other. You can
then release the Enter button and use the Alpha Wheel to scroll through the list more precisely.

SysEx IDs
If all you’re doing is dumping objects from your PC1 to a sequencer and loading them back, you
won’t have to worry about the PC1’s SysEx ID. Just make sure that you don’t change it after
dumping objects, because you won’t be able to reload them if the PC1’s SysEx ID is different
from the one contained in the incoming messages.
The SysEx ID for the PC1 is defined by the Device ID parameter in the Global menu.
Dumping the Entire Memory
1. Make sure that you have a MIDI connection from the PC1’s MIDI Out port to the MIDI
In port of your external device.
2. Press the Global button, then press the Right cursor button until you see
3. Start recording on your external device, and press Enter on the PC1. The LED in the
User bank button blinks and the display shows you the object being dumped. The PC1
shows which objects it’s dumping, then returns to the
Prompt
when finished.
