MIDI Setups
The PC88 is programmed with factory MIDI Setups to provide you with useful internal program combinations,
unique arpeggiator examples, and appropriate templates for easy creation of custom setups. There are 32 standard
Setups and an additional 32 VGM Setups
With 17 assignable controllers shared among four independent zones, PC88 MIDI Setups can be quite complex. The
following list describes the features of each factory MIDI Setup, including any non-default controller assignments,
special application notes, and Òserving suggestionsÓ. Since most zones have Wheel 1 assigned to Pitch Bend, Wheel
2 assigned to Modulation, and Switch Pedals 1 and 2 assigned to sustain and sostenuto, they will not be mentioned.
