If you want the PCR to receive this data [...]

11 Using control maps 7 Operate PCR Editor or your DAW software to transmit the control map data. Select “EDIROL PCR” as the MIDI output device for PCR Editor or your DAW software. For details on how to make this setting in your DAW software, refer to the owner’s manual for the DAW software you’re using. fig.D-End.eps 8 When the PCR has fin[...]

12 Using control maps The PCR-300/500/800 can transmit control map data to your DAW software in the form of a bulk dump. In order to transmit a control map you’ve edited on the PCR keyboard to PCR Editor or other software you’re using, you’ll need to make settings on the PCR to make it transmit the bulk data. For more about PCR Editor, refer [...]

13 Using control maps By turning the Protect setting on, you can protect the control map data from being accidentally overwritten. This will disable All Bulk reception (p. 10) and Save (p. 9) operations, protecting your valuable data from being overwritten. The Protect on/off setting is remembered even when the PCR is powered off. fig.H-Edit.eps 1 [...]

82 Troubleshooting If you experience problems, read this chapter first. It contains tips for resolving problems. ● Is the PCR connected correctly? 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. ● [...]

83 Troubleshooting ● 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 [...]

84 Troubleshooting If you were unable to install the USB driver using the procedure given, it is possible that your computer did not recognize the PCR’s USB driver correctly. In this case, you’ll need to delete the incorrectly installed USB driver. Follow the procedure below to delete the USB driver, and then re-install it. Windows users 1 Disc[...]

85 Troubleshooting ● In Windows XP/2000, have you made settings to “give priority to background processing”? To ensure that MIDI processing occurs smoothly, make settings to “give priority to background processing.” Separate sheet: Setup Guide ● Could you have disconnected and reconnected the USB cable? Try closing all DAW software that[...]

86 Troubleshooting 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 soun[...]
