Tools and Materials Required for Installation

Checking the Soundware Version
Press the
Global
button, then press the
Right
cursor button
repeatedly until you see the Int Sound Ver (Internal Sound
Version) parameter.
If you don’t see this parameter, your operating system
version is earlier than 3.0, and you need to update both your
operating system and your soundware.
Tools and Materials Required for
Installation
• #1 (small) cross-recess (Phillips head) screwdriver
• Two thick foam pads (keyboard models only)
You’ll need a flat work area large enough to accommodate
the disassembled instrument. Most tabletops will work for
the PC2R, but keyboard models require more space—up to
60-by-30 inches, depending on the length of the keyboard.
The foam pads listed in the required materials will protect
the Alpha Wheel and sliders on keyboard units.
Tools and Materials Required for Software Updates
If you need to update your operating system software,
soundware, or boot block, you’ll also need the following:
• Stand-alone sequencer or MIDI file player that has a CD-
ROM drive and can send System Exclusive (SysEx)
data—or a personal computer (either Windows-
compatible or a Macintosh or other computer capable of
reading DOS disks and files) equipped with MIDI
interface, CD-ROM drive, and sequencing software
capable of sending SysEx data.
• MIDI cable
If you don’t have a device with a CD-ROM drive, you can
download the files from our website. See page ii for our web
address. If you’re not sure which files you need to install,
don’t worry. There’s a software installation checklist at the
end of this document.
