PC2Version 2 Operating System Software
Thanks for purchasing the Version 2 option for your PC2 performance controller! The Version 2
upgrade adds 128 new programs to the PC2, and includes a number of new features.
Version 2 operating system software (the actual version number is 2.1) is the most current
operating system software release. It replaces Version 1.0 and Version 1.5.
Check our website (
www.kurzweilmusicsystems.com/html/whats_new.html
) for any more recent
releases of PC2 software that might be available.
This supplement assumes that you’re updating from Version 1.0, so it describes some features
that were introduced in Version 1.5. If a feature was introduced in Version 1.5, we’ll point that
out—so if you’re updating from Version 1.5, you’ll know which features are new to you, and
which features aren’t.

Additional Programs
One of the biggest new features for Version 2.0 is an additional bank of 128 programs. these
programs are in Bank 6, which is called Int2. There’s a list of the new programs on page 14, and
a list of the physical controller assignments beginning on page 15.
There are several ways to select programs in Bank 6:
• Press the
Internal
and
User
Sound Source buttons simultaneously, then use the Alpha
Wheel or the
Plus
or
Minus
button to scroll through the programs.
• Press
6
,
+/-
, then a program number on the alphanumeric buttonpad. For example, if you’re
in Bank 0, select Program
036
in Bank 6 by pressing
6
,
+/-
,
3
,
6
,
Enter.
• Scroll directly to Bank 6 from Bank 4 or Bank 0, using the Alpha Wheel or the
Plus
or
Minus
button.
Changes to MIDI Receive Mode
Overview
MIDI Receive mode has been redesigned significantly for Version 2. It’s now more of an
independent mode, which doesn’t change its function, except that you can’t press
Cancel
to exit.
MIDI Receive mode is convenient when your PC2 is a slave to an external MIDI source, like a
sequencer. It gives you quick access to all 16 MIDI channels, where you can set values for eight
parameters on each channel.
Press
MIDI Recv
to enter MIDI receive mode. Use the cursor buttons to scroll through the four
pages that contain the MIDI-Receive-mode parameters:
Press
MIDI Recv
(or
Cancel
) to jump to the first page for the current channel. Press it again to
jump to the first page for the next channel. Press the
Left
and
Right
cursor buttons
simultaneously to jump to the
corresponding
page for the next channel. For example, if you’re on
Page 3 for Channel 1, pressing the cursor buttons simultaneously jumps to Page 3 for Channel 2.
You can also jump to the first page for
any
channel by holding
MIDI Recv
and pressing the
numbered Sound Select button corresponding to the channel you want to view.

Using MIDI Receive Mode
The first thing to notice is that the MIDI channel is now an editable parameter. This means that
you can use the cursor buttons to move the cursor under the displayed channel number, then
use the Alpha Wheel or the
Plus
or
Minus
button to change the channel without having to scroll
through the other parameters for that channel. Of course, you can still scroll through the
parameters as before.
When you first enter MIDI Receive mode after powering up, the display shows Channel 1,
because the PC2 resets the MIDI Receive channel each time you shut down. Until you shut
down again, the PC2 remembers which channel you’re viewing even after you’ve left MIDI
Receive mode—so the next time you enter MIDI Receive mode, the display shows the channel
you were most recently viewing.
Wet/Dry Mix on Specific Effects Channels
When you’re in MIDI Receive mode, and the value of the FX Channel parameter (in the Effects
Editor) is a specific MIDI channel (not
Current
), effects respond differently to program changes
on that channel. Program changes received on that channel override the MIDI-Receive-mode
settings for wet/dry mix, and instead use the wet/dry settings for the program on that channel.
Prior to Version 2, the override didn’t occur, and the program on the specified channel used the
MIDI-Receive-mode settings for wet/dry mix, instead of the program’s own wet/dry settings.
FX Routing
The FX Routing page is now available in MIDI Receive mode. This makes it easy to adjust effects
routings on a per-channel basis. Previously, effects routing was available only on a per-program
basis.
Editing Effects (A Special Case)
This feature works when (and only when) you’re in MIDI receive mode
and
the value of the
FX Chg Mode parameter is
Panel
, which applies a single global effect to each bus, regardless of
the current channel or program. In this case, pressing FX-A’s or FX-B’s
Select
buttons selects the
global effect assigned to that bus, where you can use the cursor buttons to select parameters for
editing.
In previous versions, pressing the
Select
buttons selected the effect associated with the program
on the current channel, not the global effect.
MIDI Remapping
If you’re in MIDI Receive mode, and the value of the MIDI In parameter (in the Global menu) is
Remap
, the PC2 remaps MIDI Controller messages 91–94 to the current MIDI channel.
Normally, these messages
aren’t
remapped, so this special case enables you to control the PC2’s
effects routing and wet/dry mixes from your MIDI source regardless of which channel your
MIDI source is using.

PC2Version 2 Operating System Software
New Features in Version 2
New Startup Value for FX Change Mode
The value of the FX Chg Mode parameter (in the Effects editor) always reverts to
Auto
when
you turn on your PC2. Previously, the setting for FX Chg Mode would always stay where you
left it, even after powering down.
New Editing Function: Capture MIDIValues
This function was first introduced in Version 1.5. It appears in the Timbre menu for regular
(non-KB3) programs. It’s a convenient way to change and save the settings for the seven MIDI
Controllers that can send initial values. The initial values are the MIDI Controller values that the
program sends when you select it.
For example, in Program
090
Meteor Strings
, Slider
D
(which by default sends MIDI 13)
controls Lopass Filter resonance. The default initial value for MIDI 13 is
66
. Consequently, when
you select program
090
, the PC2 generates a MIDI 13 message with a value of 66, which gives
you about half the available amount of resonance as a starting point.
If you want Program
090
to come up with a different amount of resonance, you can do it easily
by capturing MIDI values.
1. Select Program
090
.
2. Move Slider
D
to change the amount of resonance.
3. Press
Timbre
, then press the
Right
cursor button until you see
Capture|MIDI|Vals?
in
the display.
4. Press
Yes
. This automatically saves your new setting as the initial value for MIDI 13. You
can check this by finding the Init Value parameter for MIDI 13, which now shows your
new value.
New Global Functions
The Global menu contains three new functions, described below. These functions aren’t editable;
they merely give information about the configuration of your PC2.
OSVersion
Indicates the version of the currently installed operating system software.
Expansion Blocks 1 (EXP1) and 2 (EXP2)
Indicates whether Expansion Sound Cards 1 and/or 2 are properly installed (in which case the
value is
Yes
for either or both parameters). If you’ve installed either Expansion Sound Card and
the corresponding parameter still has a value of
No
, you may have a problem with the
installation of that Sound Card.
PCX-1
Indicates whether the PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion Kit is properly installed. If it is, this
parameter also shows the version of the PCX-1’s operating system software. If you’ve installed
the PCX-1 and the value is still
Not Installed
, you may have a problem with the installation.

PCXP1 and PCXP2
On instruments that have the PCX-1 Polyphony Expansion Kit installed, this parameter
indicates whether Expansion Sound Cards 1 and/or 2 are properly installed on the PCX-1
board. If you’ve installed either Expansion Sound Card and the corresponding parameter still
has a value of
No
, you may have a problem with the installation of that Sound Card.
New KB3 Parameters
There are several new KB3-editing parameters (which were first introduced in Version 1.5). They
correspond to the front-panel buttons that control many of the KB3 effects (like chorus, vibrato,
and rotary speed). You can still change these effects in KB3 mode using the front-panel buttons,
but you can also change the effects from within the KB3 Editor.
The following table shows the new parameters, their possible values, and their corresponding
front-panel buttons.
NewValue for MIDI In Parameter
The MIDI In parameter, which is in the Global menu, has a new value:
Auto
. This is the default
value.You might want to use this value if you’re controlling your PC2 from an external MIDI
source like a sequencer. In this case, whenever you’re in Internal Voices mode, KB3 mode, or
MIDI setups mode, certain incoming MIDI messages get remapped to different Controller
numbers. (This enables the PC2 to respond more accurately to standard MIDI Controller
messages.) In MIDI Receive mode, incoming MIDI information does
not
get remapped when
MIDI In is set to
Auto
.

New Features in Version 2
The following table shows how MIDI Controller messages get remapped when you’re in MIDI
Receive mode and the value of MIDI In is Auto (or when you’re in any performance mode and
the value of MIDI In is Remap):
It’s important to note that the PC2 ignores certain MIDI Controller messages during the
remapping process. With Version 2, there are additional ignored messages. The following table
shows which MIDI controller messages are ignored. The first row shows all the messages that
were ignored prior to Version 2. The second row shows all the messages that are ignored as of
Version 2.

Miscellaneous New Features
Changing EQ Levels with the AlphaWheel
You can now go to the EQ settings from any performance mode (by pressing the EQ button),
then use the Alpha Wheel to change the level of the currently selected frequency band.
Previously, this feature didn’t work in some performance modes.
KB3 Drawbar Response
It’s smoother. It’s faster.
Bug Fixes SinceVersion 1.0
Battery Level
This fix was introduced in Version 1.5. With Version 1.0, you might see a “Low Battery” message
when starting up the PC2, even though the battery level is fine. With Version 2, you won’t see a
“Low Battery” message unless the battery level is actually low.
If you’ve seen a “Low Battery” message on your instrument prior to installing Version 2, you
may not need to replace the battery. After installing Version 2, watch the display when you turn
on your PC2. If you don’t see the message, your battery is fine.
Cancel Button
In some editing menus, the Cancel button would not cancel values added from the
alphanumeric buttonpad. This has been fixed. This fix was first introduced in Version 1.5.
Compare Mode
If you don’t have enough memory and you try to use Compare mode, you’ll see this message:
Not|enough|memory|to|compare. This fix was first introduced in Version 1.5. In
Version 1.0, if you tried to use compare mode and you didn’t have enough memory, it didn’t
work, and there was no message indicating the problem.
The wet/dry mix display for setups now works properly in Compare mode.
Compare mode now works when you’re creating quick layers and splits.
Goto Setup
The MIDI Controller “Go to Setup” now selects setups in the User bank of setups (Setups
129–256). Previously, it selected setups in the Internal back, which prevented you from using
“Go to Setup” to select user-defined setups.
To use a switch controller to change setups, remember to set its On Value parameter to a value
that’s 128 less than the ID of the setup you want to select. For example, if you want to select
Setup 129, set an On Value of 1. To select Setup 256, set an On Value of 128.

10
PC2Version 2 Operating System Software
Bug Fixes Since Version 1.0
MIDI Controller 6
Some programs (like 090 Meteor Strings), use MIDI Controller 6 to control program features. In
Program 090, for example, it controls Lopass Filter resonance. When you select this program, it
sounds the way it does because the program contains an initial value for MIDI 6.
Prior to Version 2, putting this program (or any others that had initial values for MIDI 6) into a
setup sometimes affected the sound of that program. That’s because the PC2 uses MIDI 6
internally to control other setup features. In the case of Program 090, the difference was extreme
because much of the program’s sound depends on filter resonance, and putting the program
into a setup would change the filter resonance level.
With Version 2, putting a program into a setup no longer affects the initial value for MIDI 6 in
that program (regardless of what it’s assigned to control), so any program that uses MIDI 6 to
control a program feature will sound the same whether you play it in a setup or as a single
program.
PortamentoTime
MIDI Controller 5 (Portamento Time) now works properly—that is, higher values cause the
portamento to occur more slowly. Prior to Version 2, the PC2 had the opposite response.
Program 081 Vox Lead
This program, which is monophonic, had problems when Layer 4 was enabled. This has been
fixed. This fix was first introduced in Version 1.5.
SysEx Dumps
In Version 1.0, SysEx dumps would occasionally be disabled if the PC2’s available memory was
low. Now SysEx dumps work regardless of how much memory is available. This fix was first
introduced in Version 1.5.
Treble EQ
In Version 1.0, the maximum boost levels for Treble EQ were inaccurate—that is, a setting of
+11 dB or +12 dB didn’t actually boost the treble band by exactly that amount. With Version 2,
the levels have been adjusted to correspond to the display values. This fix was introduced in
Version 1.5.

Corrections/Additions

Corrections/Additions
There are two items that we published as supplements to Revision A of the PC2 Musician’s
Guide. The first addresses audio quality. The second item is a table that lists the PC2’s MIDI
Controller assignments. This table was incorrect in some copies of Revision A.
For Best Audio Results
The PC2 features balanced left and right analog audio outputs with 1/4-inch jacks. You’ll get
your best signal-to-noise ratio using balanced cables to connect to balanced, line-level inputs on
your mixer or sound system.
You should use shielded, twisted-pair cables. The cables should each have 1/4-inch stereo
(tip-ring-sleeve) plugs on one end to connect to the PC2 (see the diagram). The other end of each
cable should have either 1/4-inch stereo plugs or XLR plugs. Cables of this type provide
balanced operation, which greatly reduces many types of noise. Unbalanced cables and/or
unbalanced sound-system inputs will give you slightly lower audio quality.
For the highest audio quality when using a sound system, set the PC2’s Master Volume slider to
its maximum before adjusting sound-system levels. This gives you the cleanest possible
signal—better than setting the PC2’s Master Volume slider to less than its maximum and
compensating by increasing the level of your sound system.
If you’re using a monaural sound system or running the PC2’s audio into a single mixer
channel, we recommend configuring the PC2 for mono output, in which case the PC2 sends the
same one-channel signal to the left and right sides of both the analog and digital outputs. See
page 26 of the Musician’s Guide for information about using mono audio output mode.
The PC2 has a headphone jack, which carries the same signal as the main outputs (that’s true
whether you’re using stereo or mono output). The headphone jack accepts a standard 1/4-inch
stereo plug, and is compatible with nearly all types of headphones. Plugging into the
headphones jack does not mute the other audio outputs.
You can also use the headphone jack as an unbalanced stereo line-level output. Just connect a
stereo cable from the headphone jack to a stereo input on your mixer or sound system. If you
have only unbalanced inputs to your sound system, you’ll get better audio quality using the
headphone jack.
There’s also an RCA digital audio jack, which you can use in addition to the analog outputs. See
page 6 of the Musician’s Guide for more information.
