3.Press the white F3 key (AFTER TOUCH) in the DATA ENTRY ASSIGN- MENT section [7].

4.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).

Now, when you move the DATA ENTRY slider, Channel Aftertouch messages (with a value reflecting the slider’s position) will be transmitted.

Note: A GS sound module only responds to Aftertouch messages if you change its default setting. Computer users should consult the owner’s manual of their software, since it may be possible to assign Channel Aftertouch to the desired function (volume, pitch, filter) from within the software.

Changing the velocity sensitivity

Whenever a key is pressed, the PC-300 not only transmits the corresponding note number but also a value describing how hard you pressed the key. The VELOCITY function allows you to set the range of transmitted velocity messages.

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the Part or module you wish to control.

See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel” on page 11.

2.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light).

3.Press the black F#3 key (VELOCITY).

4.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).

Move the DATA ENTRY slider to select the velocity sensitivity value. With the slider at its maximum, velocity values within the entire 1~127 range can be transmitted.

Reverb level

This function allows you to set the Reverb depth for the Part or module you are con- trolling, and thus to specify how much Reverb will be added to the Part’s sound.

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the Part or module you wish to control.

See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel” on page 11.

2.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light).

3.Press the black G#3 key (REVERB LEVEL).

4.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).

Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider to set the Reverb Send Level (Effect 1 Depth, CC91) of the receiving Part or module.

Note: On a sound module other than a GS or General MIDI module, the relevant parameter may not correctly respond to CC91 messages.

Chorus level

This function allows you to set the Chorus depth for the Part or module you are con- trolling.

1.Set the MIDI transmit channel to match that of the Part or module you wish to control.

See “Setting the MIDI transmit channel” on page 11.

2.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] (the LED will light).

3.Press the black A#3 key (CHORUS LEVEL).

4.Press MIDI/SELECT [3] again (the LED will go out).

Now you can use the DATA ENTRY slider
