A number of MIDI settings need to be made when you want to transfer performance data between the computer and the instrument. The PC Mode item can conveniently make multiple settings for you in one operation. Three settings are available: PC1, PC2, and OFF.

This setting is not necessary when transferring Song or backup data between the computer and the instrument.

*Set the PC mode to PC2 when using Digital Music Note- book.
