Convenient functions
Specifying the port
When you are making Assign settings (p. 41) in Edit mode and have selected Advanced mode, you
must specify the USB port to which the message assigned to the controller will be sent when using
a USB connection.
1. Press a key [1] – [3] to select the port.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
* If you are using the PCR-30/50/80 with a MIDI connection, the messages will be transmitted from the
MIDI OUT connector regardless of this port setting.
1 PORT 1 Messages will be sent to “PCR 1.”
2 PORT 2 Messages will be sent to “PCR 2.”
3 PORT 1,2 Messages will be sent to both “PCR 1” and “PCR 2.”
About the ports when using a USB connection
The ports correspond to the PCR-30/50/80 as follows.

MIDI OUT device
PCR MIDI OUT
(
Mac OS 9/8 : PCR MIDI IN, OUT)
If you specify PCR MIDI OUT as the output port for your sequencer software, the
MIDI messages will be sent from the MIDI OUT connector of the PCR-30/50/80.
PCR
(Mac OS 9/8 : PCR 1) This is the Bulk reception port. When receiving bulk data into the PCR-30/50/80,
specify
PCR as the output port for your sequencer software.
MIDI IN device
PCR MIDI IN
(
Mac OS 9/8 : PCR MIDI IN, OUT)
If you specify PCR MIDI IN as the input port for your sequencer software, MIDI
messages from the MIDI IN connector of the PCR-30/50/80 can be received.
PCR 1
PCR 2
This is the port at which messages from the keyboard, BENDER lever, and control-
lers will be input.
The keyboard, BENDER lever, and controllers will be mapped to
PCR 1 and/or
PCR 2 according to the port setting.
You may find it convenient to specify PCR 1 for messages used to play a software
synthesizer or for realtime recording on a sequencer track, and specify PCR 2 for
messages used to control the sequencer, such as sequencer play/stop or track fader
control.
PCR 2 is the bulk transmission port. When transmitting bulk data from the
PCR-30/50/80, specify PCR 2 as the input port for your sequencer software.
