Using control maps
What is a control map?
The PCR-300/500/800 have fifty fully assignable controllers; you can freely assign
any MIDI message to each of these controllers.
You can also download the latest control maps from the Roland website and load them
into the PCR.
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.
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 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.
For details, refer to Using PCR Editor (p. 14).
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).

Use Play mode when you want to play the PCR’s keyboard or use its controllers to
control your software or sound module.
Broadly speaking, the PCR has two modes.
Convenient performance functions
Here we’ll explain some typical functions that are convenient for performance.
Mode
Play mode
Overview
How selected
Purpose
Description
This is the mode in which you play the key-
board and operate the controllers. MIDI
messages will be transmitted by each con-
troller.
This is the mode in which you assign MIDI
messages to each controller, send or re-
ceive bulk data, or make system settings.
When you turn on the
power
When you exit Edit
mode
When you move the bender lever to left or right, pitch bend mes-
sages will be transmitted, causing the currently sounding note to
vary its pitch.
* The range of the pitch bend depends on the settings of the
sound module.
When you push the bender lever away from yourself, modulation
messages (CC#01) will be transmitted, causing a vibrato effect to
be applied to the sound
* The change that occurs in the sound depends on the settings of
the sound module.
Modify the pitch of the
currently sounding note
(Pitch Bend)
When you press the Edit
button
Edit mode (p. 41)
Apply change to the cur-
rently sounding note
(Modulation)
When you turn on the power, the PCR-300/500/800 will start up in Play mode.
To return from Edit mode (p. 41) back to Play mode, press the [EDIT] button or the
[CANCEL] button. In this case, any setting you had not completed will be discarded.
When you play the keyboard in Play mode, note messages will be transmitted,
causing your sound module to produce sound.
You can press [OCTAVE -] or [OCTAVE +] to lower or raise the
pitch of the keyboard in one-octave steps (Octave Shift). Use this
when you want to shift the range of the keyboard upward or
downward.
When you press [OCTAVE -] once, the pitch will shift downward
by one octave. When you press it again, the pitch will shift down-
ward by an additional octave. You can shift the octave in a range
of -4 (down) to 5 (up). Depending on the current octave shift status,
[OCTAVE -] or [OCTAVE +] will light. If you press [OCTAVE -] and
[OCTAVE +] simultaneously, the octave shift setting will be reset to
0, and the keyboard will return to its normal pitch range.
Switch the octave
(Octave Shift)
Go ahead and play
1 Set the PCR’s current channel (MIDI transmit channel).
Set the PCR’s MIDI transmit channel to match the MIDI receive channel of your sound
module.
You can set the MIDI transmit channel setting as described in Selecting the current
channel (MIDI transmit channel) (p. 33).
While playing the keyboard, you can move the bender lever toward the left to
lower the pitch, or toward the right to raise the pitch. This is called the pitch bend
effect. Pushing the lever away from yourself will apply vibrato. This is called the
modulation effect.
If you move the lever toward the left or right while pushing it away from yourself,
both effects will be applied simultaneously.
2 From the PCR, select a sound on your sound module.
fig.PitchBend-e.eps
You can select sounds as described in Selecting sounds (Program Change/Bank) (p.
34).
* The pitch bend range will depend
on the settings of the sound module.
* If you assign different MIDI
messages to the bender lever, the
pitch bend effect and modulation
effect will not be applied.
3 Play the PCR’s keyboard.
When you’ve finished making settings, play the keyboard in Play mode; MIDI
messages will be sent to your application.
Pitch bend effect
Modulation effect
* Since the PCR keyboard does not contain a sound generator, it can’t produce sound by itself.

Selecting the current channel (MIDI transmit channel)
Here’s how to specify the current channel, which will be used to transmit data
produced by playing the keyboard as well as other performance data.
What is OMNI?
When you turn the OMNI setting on, all controllers will always transmit on the current
channel, regardless of the MIDI transmit channel that’s specified for each individual
controller.
What is the current channel?
The current channel is the MIDI transmit channel for the keyboard and bender lever.
Use the following procedure to turn OMNI on if you want changes in the current
channel to switch the MIDI transmit channel for the controllers as well.
* Each controller can have an independent transmit channel setting. However, if “OMNI” is on,
all messages will be transmitted on the current channel.

number that was transmitted most recently.
Program Change and Bank Select
MIDI allows you to combine program change and bank select messages to access
more than 128 sounds.
2 Use the VALUE knob to specify the program
If you want to select a different sound within the same bank as the currently selected
sound, you can switch sounds simply by sending a program change message alone.
change number that you want to send.
The program change message has now been
sent.
If you want to select a sound from a different bank, you’ll need to send the
appropriate bank number and program number. The bank number is sent using two
MIDI messages; control change 0 (MSB) and control change 32 (LSB). To make the
sound actually change, you must send messages in the order of the bank number
(MSB), the bank number (LSB), and finally the program number.
You can also send a program change in the following way.
The display will indicate “EDIT.”
2. Press the [PROGRAM CHANGE] button. It will light, and the display will
indicate the program change number that was transmitted most recently.
3. Use controllers [A1]–[A8], [B1]–[B8], or the VALUE knob to specify the
program change number that you want to send.
4. Press the [ENTER] button.

Normally, the velocity value of the transmitted notes will vary depending on how strongly you play the keyboard.
If desired, you can also specify a fixed velocity at which all notes will be transmitted regardless of how strongly you play the keyboard.
This is convenient when you want to record into your DAW software at a fixed velocity.
You can also adjust the sensitivity or velocity curve as desired.
Specifying a fixed velocity (Key Velocity)
Changing the keyboard touch (Velocity Curve)
If you want to use a fixed velocity, you’ll need to set the “VALUE ENCODER” system
setting for [USER] to “Key Velocity.”
Refer to the system setting Keyboard Velocity Curve (p. 72).
* For details on how to make this setting, refer to the bottom of this page or to VALUE knob settings
(p. 80).
If “KEY VELOCITY” is assigned to the VALUE encoder, you can use the following
procedure to transmit bank select (MSB, LSB) messages.

Button mode setting
When using edit mode to assign MIDI messages on the PCR keyboard (p. 41), and
you’re assigning a message to a button, you’ll need to specify the way in which the
button is to operate (the button mode).
When you use a button as a controller, the maximum specified value will be
transmitted when you turn the button on, and the minimum value will be transmitted
when you turn the button off.
Decimal and hexadecimal values correspond as follows.
Decimal: 0–127
Hexadecimal: 00–7F

Convenient functions
Copy assignment
A message assigned to a controller can be copied to another controller.
For example, if you want to assign similar functions to more than one controller, you can assign the desired MIDI message to one controller and copy the assignment to other controllers
for greater efficiency.
If you copy an assigned message between controllers of differing types (for example between a button and a knob), the results may be unexpected. For example, if a note message assigned
to a pad is copied to a knob, you won’t get the expected result.
If a rotary encoder simulation assigned to a knob is copied to a button, it will not operate.
Please be aware of the controller type and content of the message when copying MIDI message assignments.

The VALUE knob will specify the fixed velocity value. The PCR detects the force with which you
play the keyboard, and transmits this as the velocity, but if you use this function, the velocity will
be transmitted as the fixed value specified by the VALUE knob regardless of how strongly you
play the keyboard. Use this in cases where you want to eliminate dynamics from your playing.
* If you specify “tch,” velocity values
corresponding to your keyboard playing
strength will be transmitted.

Troubleshooting
If you experience problems, read this chapter first. It contains tips for resolving problems.
Problems with connections
No sound
Can’t install the driver
● Is the PCR connected correctly?
● Could another USB device be connected?
Make sure that the PCR is connected to the USB connector of your computer via a USB
cable. After making the USB connection, it may take fifteen seconds or more for your
computer to detect the PCR.
All USB devices other than a mouse and keyboard must be disconnected from your
computer before you install the driver.
● Could other applications or resident software (such as
● Is the PCR’s power switch set correctly?
Make sure that the PCR’s power switch is set to “USB” if you’re using USB bus power,
or to “DC” if you’re using an AC adaptor.
antivirus programs) be running?
Installation may not occur correctly if other programs are running. Be sure to close all
other programs before you install the driver.
(-> Power switch (p. 7))
● Is power management turned off for your computer?
If power management or energy-saving settings are enabled on your computer, turn
them off. For details on how to do this, refer to your computer’s owner’s manual.
● Is sufficient power being supplied to your computer or
USB hub?
The connection cannot be established if insufficient power is being supplied to the
PCR. Make sure that none of the following cases apply.
• If you’re using a notebook computer that’s running on its battery, operation may
be unstable in the case of some computers. In this case, connect an AC adaptor to
your computer.
• The power management settings of your computer may be limiting the power that
is supplied to USB. Check the settings on your computer.
• In some cases, the PCR cannot be used with bus-powered hubs (USB hubs that do
not contain a power supply). Please use a self-powered hub (a hub that contains a
power supply).
● Is there sufficient space on your hard disk?
Delete unneeded files to increase the amount of free space. After deleting the
unneeded files, empty the Recycle Bin.
● Does the Device Manager show “Other Device,”
“Unknown Device,” or a device marked with “?/!/x”?
If the driver was not installed correctly, the installed driver may remain in an
incomplete state. Delete the driver as described in Deleting the USB driver (p. 84), and
then install the PCR driver once again as described in “Setup guide.”

Troubleshooting
You are asked for the driver file even
though you’ve already installed the driver
● Could you have connected the PCR to a USB connector
that’s different than the one used when you installed
the driver?
The USB driver must be installed for each USB connector to which you connect the
PCR. If you have a USB hub or a computer that has more than one USB connector,
you should normally connect the PCR to the USB connector for which you installed the
driver. If you want to connect the PCR to a USB connector other than the one for which
you installed the driver, you’ll need to install the USB driver as follows.
1 Connect the PCR to your computer.
Windows XP users:
1. The Found New Hardware Wizard dialog box will appear. If you are asked
whether you want to connect to Windows Update, choose “No, ...” and
click [Next].
2. Choose “Install the software automatically (recommended)” and click [Next].
If a dialog box with a “!” or “X” symbol appears, click [Continue] to proceed with
installation. If you are unable to proceed, click [OK] and re-install the driver.
Windows 2000 users:
If a dialog box that says “Unable to find digital signature” appears, click [Yes] to
proceed with installation. If you are unable to proceed, click [OK] and re-install the
driver.
2 The “Found New Hardware Wizard Completed” dialog box will appear.
Click [Finish].
3 If the Change System Settings dialog box appears, click [Yes]. Windows will
restart automatically.
If you are unable to complete the installation using the above procedure, re-install the
driver.

Troubleshooting
keyboard before your software synthesizer
produces sound
Aftertouch not applied
The PCR lets you assign a MIDI message to the aftertouch controller. If such an
assignment has been made, aftertouch will not be applied.
Set aftertouch to No Assign as described in Canceling an assignment (NO ASSIGN)
(p. 67).
By its nature, a software synthesizer produces sound via the sound card of your
computer. There will be a time lag before the sound of the software synthesizer is
actually played back from the sound card, and this is known as the “latency.”
There will always be some latency for any combination of software synthesizer and
sound card, but by using the appropriate combination of sound card and sequencer
software settings, it is possible to reduce the latency to the point where it is not a
problem for actual use.
The following settings are generally effective ways to reduce the latency.
• Decrease the audio buffer size of your DAW software
• Decrease the buffer size for your sound card
In either case, refer to the owner’s manual for your sequencer software or sound card
for the specific procedure.
When using the PCR with DAW software,
you’re unable to send system exclusive
messages to an external sound module
You’ll need to make settings in your DAW software to enable the function that passes
system exclusive messages through to your sound module. For details on how to
enable this, refer to the owner’s manual for your software.
Bender lever does not apply pitch bend or
modulation
The PCR lets you assign MIDI messages to the bender and modulation controllers of
the bender lever. If such assignments have been made, the lever won’t produce pitch
bend or modulation.
Set the bender and modulation to NO ASSIGN as described in Canceling an
assignment (NO ASSIGN) (p. 67).

86
Two MIDI ports
If the PCR is connected to your computer via USB, the PCR will be able to use two MIDI output ports (PORT 1 and PORT 2). Each controller of the PCR can be assigned to send its MIDI
messages to either port.
For details on how to make this assignment, refer to Using PCR Editor to assign MIDI messages (p. 20) or Assigning MIDI messages on the PCR keyboard (p. 41).
fig.MIDI-port1-e.eps_55
DAW software
If you’re using DAW software, and you’re simply controlling the sound module for the part
that’s producing the sound, the PCR’s controllers can use the same MIDI output port as the
keyboard. When the PCR is in the default state, the PCR’s keyboard performance data will
also be sent from PORT 1, so you can assign the controllers to PORT 1 as well.

Connecting the PCR directly to a sound module
You can connect the PCR connected directly to a MIDI sound module, and use it to play and control the sound module.
If you’re not connecting the PCR to your computer via USB, you’ll need to use a separately available AC adaptor (p. 92). You can purchase the appropriate AC adaptor from your dealer.

1 Use a MIDI cable to connect the PCR’s MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of your MIDI sound module.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the PCR’s DC IN jack.
3 Set the PCR’s power switch to “DC” to turn on the power.
Also, switch on the power to your MIDI sound module.
4 Set the PCR’s current channel to match the MIDI receive channel of your MIDI sound module.
5 When you play the keyboard, your MIDI sound module will produce sound.
