Using control maps
The PCR-300/500/800 have fifty fully assignable controllers; you can freely assign
any MIDI message to each of these controllers.
The MIDI settings assigned to the controllers are collectively called a “control map.”
This is the same as what was called a “memory set” on previous models of the PCR
series.
For details on how to assign MIDI messages to controllers, refer to
Using PCR
Editor
(p. 14) or
Assigning MIDI messages on the PCR keyboard
(p. 41).
MIDI settings that are assigned to the controllers (i.e., the control map) can be stored
in the PCR’s own memory or in DAW software on your computer. Simply by switching
control maps, you can control a wide range of applications.
You can also download the latest control maps from the Roland website and load them
into the PCR.
About the PCR’s memory
fig.CurrentMemory-e.eps
The PCR-300/500/800 holds sixteen control maps in its internal memory. In order to
use a control map, you must copy it into a location called
“the current memory.”
Any changes you make to the contents of
the current memory
will be lost when you
turn off the power. If you want to keep the changes you’ve made to
the current
memory
, refer to
Saving a control map
(p. 9).
You can use the
Startup Memory
(p. 79) to specify which control map should be
loaded into
current memory
when the power is turned on.

Memory Sets and Control Maps
The “memory sets” in earlier models of the PCR series are now called “control maps”
on the PCR-300/500/800.
Using the PCR Editor version 2 software included with this product, you can import
“memory sets” and use them as “control maps.”
For details, refer to Using PCR Editor (p. 14).
