What is CONTROLLER mode?

In this mode, the [MIDI CH] button, [PGM CHANGE] button, and VALUE encoder are assigned
different functions than in the normal PLAY mode.

To switch the PC-50 to CONTROLLER mode...

If you simultaneously press the [MIDI CH] button and the [PGM CHANGE] button, the [MIDI CH]
button and [PGM CHANGE] button will light, and the PC-50 will be in CONTROLLER mode.
If you again press the [MIDI CH] button and [PGM CHANGE] button simultaneously, the [MIDI CH]
button and [PGM CHANGE] button will go dark, and the PC-50 will be in Normal PLAY mode.
* CONTROLLER mode works only in PLAY mode. It is not available in UTILITY mode.
