8. Turn off the PC2, then turn it back on. When you see
Please|Wait... in the display, press and release the
Panic button (for keyboard models) or the Edit/Store
button (for rack-mount models). This launches the new
boot block. You should see the new version number as
the boot block launches.
9. Follow the instructions in the following subsection,
depending on which software components need
updating. We recommend updating to the most recent
versions of both the operating system software and the
soundware data. However, if you don’t need to update
any more software components, proceed to Doing a
Hard Reset (page 30).
Updating Operating System Software & Soundware Objects
The operating system software, together with the soundware
data, are part of the PC2 sound engine. You’ll use the
Install|engine (sound engine) option to install both the
operating system software and the soundware.
1. If the boot block is not already running, launch it as
described on page 27.
2. When the boot block has finished launching, press Yes

first option in the boot block menu). The display
changes to Install|engine|via|MIDI.
3. Press Yes again. The display changes to
Waiting|for|MIDI.
4. If necessary, insert the PC2 CD into the sequencer’s or
computer’s CD-ROM drive.

whose names start with pc2... (for 76-note keyboards),
pc2x... (for 88-note keyboards), pc2r... (for “rack-mount
operating system”), or pc2p... (for any PC2 with the
PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion option). The three digits
after orch or gm indicate the version number.
6. Play the MIDI file. The top line of the display
shows SYS3-0|file|1|of|1, and the bottom line
