System Requirements
You can install the PCR-1/PCR-2 option in any PC2-series
instrument, keyboard or rack-mount. The only system
requirement is that you have current versions of the PC2
software components listed below.
PC2 Software Components
All PC2-series instruments contain three main software
components.
• Operating system software
• Soundware
• Boot block software
The operating system software defines the performance and
editing characteristics of the PC2. Your instrument must have
Version 3.0 or later to work correctly with the PCR-1 option,
and Version 4.0 or later for the PCR-2.
The soundware consists of two files: one file contains basic
soundware objects; the other determines whether you install
Orchestral programs and setups or General MIDI 1
programs. The basic soundware objects file installed in your
instrument must be Version 3.0 or later to work correctly with
the PCR-1 option, and Version 4.0 or later for the PCR-2.
The boot block software contains diagnostic software and
other functions (like the software updating application) not
related to performance or editing. Your instrument must
have Version 2.0 or later of the boot block to work correctly
with Version 3.0 operating system software and soundware.
Checking Software Versions
You need to check the versions of
all three
software
components. As you check each software component, make a
note of whether you need to update it. If you don’t need to
update any components, proceed to the installation
procedure for your model (page 9 for keyboard models, or
page 17 for rack-mount models).
If you
do
need to update one or more software components,
we recommend that you install the option board(s) first, then
update the software components.
