PCR-1/PCR-2 and the Polyphony Option
If you have installed the PCX-1 polyphony expansion option
in your instrument, you’ll need
two
PCR-1/PCR-2 expansion
boards: one for the main sound engine board, and another
for the PCX-1 sound engine board. There are installation
instructions in this document both for instruments
with
the
PCX-1 option and for those without it.
Contents of the Kit
In addition to this installation guide, your PCR-1/PCR-2 kit
should contain the following items:
• Expansion board (single inline memory module, or
SIMM)
• CD containing updated software and PC2 object files
• One or two keyboard overlays that you can put over the
Sound Select
buttons to help you find the new programs
• User’s Guide describing new software features, as well
as information about programs and setups
Safety Precautions
To prevent risk of electrocution, make sure that the PC2 or
PC2R is disconnected from its power supply before you
begin disassembling the instrument.
Static electricity, even in small amounts, can cause damage to
electronic components (especially memory). Before
disassembling the instrument, touch a conductive metal
surface to discharge any static electricity that you may have
built up.
Saving Your Data
You’ll be upgrading your PC2’s software as part of this
installation, which means that you’ll need to do a hard reset
before returning to normal operation. The hard reset
initializes the PC2 so that it can use the new sounds and
programs. It also deletes all user-defined data (programs,
setups, and effects) from the PC2’s memory. If you don’t
want to lose your user data when you install this option, do a
SysEx dump of all objects before you begin the installation.
