A brief interval after power up is required before the unit will operate normally. Setting the MIDI Channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) To control the sound module, set the MIDI channel the PC-160 will use to transmit on to the same channel the module is using to receive on. If the sound module is multitimbral, set the channel on the PC-160 so it matches the MIDI channel of the Part in the module that you wish to control. [Procedure] 1. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light). 2. Press E3 (white key) MIDI CHANNEL [8]. 3. Select the MIDI channel composing the number using the 10 Numeric ENTRY Keys [7]. 4. Press ENTER [21] to confirm the MIDI Channel. 5. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out). Selecting Sounds on a GS Sound Module (Sending Program Change/Bank Select Messages) Program Change/Bank Select messages are used to change Tones for an ordinary instrument Part, and for changing Drum Sets for the Drum Part (GS: ch. 10). Changing Sounds in a GS Sound Module To change Tones in a GS module, you need to send the Bank Select message (consists of the values for Controller Numbers [CC] 00 and 32) together with the Program Number. The value of Controller Number 00 (MSB) and that of Controller Number 32 (LSB) work together as a pair to specify a Bank. The Program Number that comes immediately after completes the switch to the desired sound. 14 On the PC-160, these three messages are always sent as one set: Value of Controller Number 00 (MSB) Value of Controller Number 32 (LSB) Program Number xx [Procedure] 1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the desired Part (in the sound module). 2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light). 3. Press the F4 (white key) (CC 00) [17]. 4. Select the value of Controller Number 00 by pressing keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 5. Press ENTER [21]. 6. Press the G4 (white key) (CC 32) [18]. 7. Select the value of Controller Number 32 by pressing keys in the NUMERIC KEYPAD section [7]. 8. Press ENTER [21]. 9. Press the A4 (white key) (Program Change [PC]) [19]. 10. Select the Program Number by pressing keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 11. Press ENTER [21]. 12. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out). [Example] How to select the Variation No. 8, Instrument No. 3 sound (Piano 3w) on the SC-55mkII: 1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the desired Part in the module. 2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light). 3. Press the F4 (white key) (CC 00) [17]. 4. Press the "8" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 5. Press ENTER [21]. 6. Press the G4 (white key) (CC 32) [18]. 7. Press the "0" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 8. Press ENTER [21]. 9. Press the A4 white key (PC) [16]. 10. Press the "3" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 11. Press ENTER [21]. 12. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out). 15 Changing Drum Sets in a GS Sound Module The Drum Part (ch. 10) of a GS module does not respond to Bank Select messages. However, if you try to send only a Program Change message from the PC-160, a Bank Select message will end up being transmitted along with it anyway because the data for the last sound specified will have been retained in memory. For this reason, you should always send a value of 0 for Controller Numbers 00 and 32 first, then send the Program Number in order to make sure you obtain the Drum Set you need. [Procedure] 1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to 10. 2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light). 3. Press the F4 (white key) (CC 00) [17]. 4. Press the "0" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 5. Press ENTER [21]. 6. Press the G4 (white key) (CC 32) [18]. 7. Press the "0" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 8. Press ENTER [21]. 9. Press the A4 (white key) (PC) [19]. 10. Select the Program Number by pressing keys in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 11. Press ENTER [21]. 12. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out). [Example] How to select the PC #49 Drum set (ORCHESTRA Set) on the SC-55mkII: 1. Set the MIDI transmit channel to 10. 2. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light). 3. Press the F4 (white key) (CC 00) [17]. 4. Press the "0" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 5. Press ENTER [21]. 6. Press the G4 (white key) (CC 32) [18]. 7. Press the "0" key in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 8. Press ENTER [21]. 9. Press the A4 (white key) (PC) [19]. 10. Press the "4" key and then "9" in the NUMERIC ENTRY section [7]. 11. Press ENTER [21]. 12. Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out). 16 Useful Features When Playing Applying Pitch Changes to Notes (Pitch Bend) Move the BENDER/MODULATION lever [1] (left or right) to transmit Pitch Bend messages, and apply subtle pitch changes to notes. * The Pitch Bend range varies depending on how it is set on the sound module. Modifying the Sound of Notes: Modulation (CC 01) Moving the BENDER/MODULATION lever [1] forward (away from you) will transmit Modulation messages, chan...
