PC2 Version 3 Operating System Features
GM FX Scale
With this parameter you can control how much the effect
levels are reduced when you’re in GM mode (which is done
to make the effect levels consistent with GM instruments). By
default, the value is 25% , which means that the values of
Controllers 93 FXAWet and 91 FXBWet are multiplied by .25,
and the effects are 75% drier. Increase the value of
GM FX Scale to make the effects wetter; reduce it to make
them drier.
New Parameters for Displaying Software Versions
The Global menu contains three new parameters:
Int Sound Ver, Exp1 Ver, and Exp2 Ver. These parameters
can’t be edited; they’re there to show the versions of the
soundware files installed in your PC2.
Int Sound Ver shows the version of the basic (Internal Voices)
soundware objects.
Exp1 Ver shows the version of the PCR-1 soundware file
(assuming it’s installed in ROM and not loaded in RAM); the
value of Exp1 Ver includes either
Orch
or
GM
to indicate
which program set is installed in ROM.
Exp2 Ver shows the version of the PCR-2 soundware file (the
PCR-2 option is not released as of this printing).
New Demo Features
We’ve added a few features to the PC2’s Demo mode. It’s
now easier to find and play the demo songs. You can also
load the songs into RAM, save (dump) them to an external
device (a computer sequencer application, for example), and
delete them from RAM.
Playing the Demos
1. Go into Demo mode. On keyboard models, press
Sound Select 14 and Sound Select 16 at the same time;
on rack-mount models, press the MIDI Receive and
Global buttons at the same time. The top line of the
display shows
DEMO:
followed by the ID and name of
the currently selected demo song.
