About the Drum Sets Provided by a GS Sound Module

The Drum Channel (ch. 10) provides for the use of several Variation Sets in addition to the basic Drum Set (Standard Set: PC #1). Drum Sets are selected using Program Change messages. The types of Variation Sets that are made available will be different depending on the sound module. Refer to the manual for the module you are using so you know what kinds of drum sets it contains.

*If a Variation Tone or Variation Drum Set you have requested is not found in the GS module you are using, the module may not sound at all, or an incorrect sound may be played.

■Main Features

Superb Playability and Expressiveness

Since this standard 49-key keyboard also provides response to velocity, it allows you to express even the finest nuances. In addition, an Octave Shift feature allows you to conveniently shift the soundable range up or down by an octave. Moreover, it is equipped with a pitch/modulation wheel, and provides a jack for connecting a damper pedal.

Complete Range of Control Features

Since the keyboard provides for sound selections that use combinations of Program Change and Bank Select messages (value for CC 00 and CC 32), you can also select any of the Variation Tones that may be available on a GS sound module.

In addition, a variety of continuous controllers (Control Changes) can be assigned to the data entry slider. The slider can then be used for variable control over the desired parameter (reverb or chorus depth, for example) on a GS sound module.

Viewing the contents of the LED display allows you to operate easily and precisely.

Makes Desk Top Music (DTM) More Enjoyable

The PC-70 is very compact, so it requires only a minimal amount of desktop space. The keyboard is sure to become an invaluable part of any DTM setup, since it can be used for real-time or step recording, as well as for practice while listening to “minus-one” playback.
