Updating Software
If you haven’t checked the versions of your boot block
software, operating system software, and soundware, you
should do so now. To function properly, both the PCR-1/
PCR-2 option requires Version 2.0 or later of the boot block
software. The PCR-1 option requires Version 3.0 or later of
the basic soundware objects and Version 3.0 or later of the
Orchestral or General MIDI 1 program/setup file. The PCR-
2 option requires Version 4.0 or later of the basic soundware
objects and Version 4.0 of the Operating System.
See Checking Software Versions on page 5 to learn how to check
software versions. If you need to update one or more
software components, follow the instructions below.
You update the software by loading one or more MIDI files
into the PC2’s flash ROM using a sequencer application. The
following subsection explains how to understand the
filenames.
How to Interpret the Filenames
The PC2’s software files have names that look something like
this: pc2xorch310.mid
The name of each file has four parts:
• Prefix: three characters that identify the type of the file. In
our example above, PC2 identifies the file as a file for the
PC2, X is for the 88-note PC2, R is for the rack-mount
model, and P is for any PC2 model with the PCX-1
Polyphony Expansion option.
• Category: ORCH indicates that Orchestral programs are
used with PCR-1 (if installed). GM indicates that GM
programs are used with PCR-1 (if installed)
• Version: three digits that indicate the version of the file.
The version in the example is 3.10.
