IfyousettheButtonsparametertoOn,pressinganybuttonsonthePC3KwillgenerateSystem
Exclusive(SysEx)messagesthataresenttotheMIDIOutport.Thisenablesyoutodotwo
things:controlaremotePC3K,and/orrecordsequencesofprogrammingbuttonpressestoa
sequenceror
SysExsoftwa repackage.
IfyouhavetheMIDIInportofanotherPC3Kconnectedtothefirstone’sMIDIOutport,the
secondinstrumentwillrespondtoeverybuttonpressonthefirstinstrument,justasifyouwere
pressingthebuttonsofthesecondone.Keepinmindthatboth
devicesmustbeinexactlythe
samestate(thesamepageinthesamemode,withidenticallistsofRAMobjects)whenyoustart.
Otherwisethebuttonpressesyoumakeonthefirstinstrumentmayexecuteotherfunctionson
thesecondinstrument.
Again,it’simportanttokeepinmindthatthe
stateofyourPC3Kmustbeidenticaltoitsstate
whenyourecordedthesequenceofbuttonpresses.Ifyou’veaddedordeletedanyobjects
storedinRAM, forexample,thesequenceofbuttonpresseswillselectdifferentobjectswhen
youplaybackthebuttonpresssequence.
