USER MANUAL PCR-50 EDIROL

Thank you for purchasing the PCR-30/50/80 USB MIDI controller.

Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" and "IMPORTANT NOTES". These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner's manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference.

IMPORTANT NOTES

In addition to the items listed under "USING THE UNIT SAFELY" on page 2 -3, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

• Do not use this unit on the same power circuit with any device that will generate line noise (such as an electric motor or variable lighting system).
• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.
• Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

• This device may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard. This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

Handling CD-ROMs

• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside (encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Maintenance

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Additional Precautions

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit's memory in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer).
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored in another MIDI device (e.g., a sequencer) once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels (especially when it is late at night).
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

Setting the input mode

If you are not in Play mode, you can use one of two ways to input a numerical value into the PCR-30/50/80; Decimal input mode or Hexadecimal input mode.

If you want to input decimal numbers, press the [DECIMAL] button. If you want to input hexadecimal numbers, press the [HEX] button. When you turn on the power, the PCR-30/50/80 will start up in Decimal mode.

Decimal and hexadecimal numbers correspond as follows.

Decimal: 0-127

Hexadecimal: 00-7F

However, for MIDI CH and PROGRAM CHANGE, the values are as follows.

	Decimal	Hexadecimal
MIDI CH	1-16	0-F
PROGRAM CHANGE	1-128	00-7F

• Normally, the display will show three digits when using Decimal input mode. For this reason, there will be no indication of the parameter you are now inputting, and you may lose track of what you are doing. If this occurs, you can temporarily switch back to Hexadecimal mode to check the parameter you are inputting. Then switch back to Decimal mode and continue.

Specifying the button mode

When you make Assign settings (p. 46) in Edit mode to assign a message to a button, you must specify the operating mode of the button (button mode).

1		Toggle mode	The setting will alternate on/off each time you press the button. The button will light when an On message is transmitted, and will go dark when an Off message is transmitted.

1. Press the [ENTER] button.

2. When you use a button as a controller, turning the button on will transmit the maximum specified value, and turning it off will transmit the minimum value.

Specifying the port

When you are making Assign settings (p. 39) 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.

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”.

1. Press the [ENTER] button.

2. 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.

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)	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)	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.

Sys Ex. ASSIGN items

■ Specifying the checksum

The PCR-30/50/80 can automatically calculate the checksum of a system exclusive message and embed it in the message. In order to use this function, you must use the following procedure to specify the starting location from which the checksum is calculated, and the location at which the checksum is inserted. You can also select the type of checksum.

For an actual example, please read the Sys Ex. ASSIGN section "Bend Pitch Control" (p. 64)

1. Press the [CHECKSUM] key before you input the byte at which checksum calculation should begin.

The display will indicate "CSS" (Checksum Start).

If you press the [CHECKSUM] key once again, "CSS" (Checksum Start) will be cancelled.

1. Press the [ENTER] button.
2. Continue inputting data.
3. Press the [CHECKSUM] key at the location where the checksum should be inserted.

The display will indicate "CS1" (Checksum type 1).

1. Press the [ENTER] button.

Checksum types

There are two types of checksum, as follows.

1		CHECKSUM TYPE 1	This is the method used by Roland and most other manufacturers
2		CHECKSUM TYPE 2	Select this if the method other than type 1 is used

Switching the type

If you want to switch to type 2, press the [2] key after you press [CHECKSUM] in step 4. To switch back to type 1, press the [1] key.

■ Specifying the location of the data

Here's how to specify the location and data type of the variable portion (data) within a system exclusive message.

The range of data values will be the default range in the case of Basic mode or Advanced mode 3. In the case of Advanced modes 1 and 4, you can specify the range of data values.

For an actual example, please read the Sys Ex, ASSIGN section "Master Volume" (p. 63).

1. Press the [DATA] key at the location where you want to input the data.

The display will indicate "DT0".

1. Use the [0]-[4] keys to select the type of data.

Data number	Data type	Default range	Target of range setting	Example (specified upper/ lower limits)
DT0	7bit	00H-7F	Specify the range of data (00-7FH)	04-45 (lower limit 4H, upper limit 45H)
DT1	4bit/4bit	0H/0H-FH/FH	Specify the range of the first byte (0-FH), second byte is fixed at 0-FH	0/0-D/F (lower limit 0H, upper limit DH)
DT2	7bit/7bit (MSB/LSB)	00H/00H-7FH/7FH	Specify the MSB range (00-7F), LSB is fixed at 00-7F	23/00-68/7F (lower limit 23H, upper limit 68H)
DT3	7bit/7bit (LSB/MSB)	00H/00H-7FH/7FH	Specify the MSB range (00-7F), LSB is fixed at 00-7F	00/23-7F/68 (lower limit 23H, upper limit 68H)
DT4	4bit/4bit/ 4bit/4bit	7H/FH/0H/1H-8H/0H/FH/FH	Specify the limits of positive/negative change as a value from 00H to FFH, centered on 8000H. min 8000H max FFF	7/F/0/2-8/0/5/0 (lower limit FEH, upper limit 50H)

• In the case of DT1--DT4 (data consisting of two or more bytes), a data location will automatically be allocated for the next byte, and "-DT" will be displayed. (This cannot be changed.)

• Press the [ENTER] button.

• If you selected DT1 through DT4, the display will indicate "-DT".

Press the [ENTER] button.

■ Inputting channel/block data

If a system exclusive message includes a channel or GS block number, here's how to specify the type and the value of the upper bits. For the channel and block number, the setting of the current channel (p. 38) will be inserted as the lower bits. (The block number is not actually a channel, but corresponds to the "part" within a GS sound module. On the PCR-30/50/80, this corresponds to the channel for the sake of convenience.)

Current channel	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16
CH	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	A	B	C	D	E	F
BL	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	0	A	B	C	D	E	F

For an actual example, refer to "Bend Pitch Control" (p. 64) in the section on the Edit Mode.

1. Press the [DATA] key several times at the location where you want to input the channel/block number, to select "0CH" for the channel or "0BL" for the block.

1. Use the [0]–[7] keys to input the value of the upper four bits.

The "0" in the display will change to the numerical value that you input.

1. Press the [ENTER] button.

When you press the [V-LINK] button, the PCR will transmit a V-LINK ON message and will enter V-LINK mode. When you press the [V-LINK] button once again, the PCR will transmit a V-LINK OFF message and will exit V-LINK mode.

When the PCR enters V-LINK mode, it will transmit the following parameters to the V-LINK host.

• Clip Ctrl Rx MIDI ch : 16
  Color Ctrl Rx MIDI ch : 16
• Sender Model Name : EDIROL PCR

In V-LINK mode, the PCR will operate as follows.

• Messages from the PCR itself will be transmitted to both the MIDI connector and the USB connector.
• In V-LINK mode, you cannot use the MIDI connectors as a USB MIDI interface.
• When you play the keyboard, program change messages or bank select MSB messages will be transmitted in addition to note messages.
• The program change messages and bank select MSB messages will be transmitted on channel 16.

Troubleshooting

Problems common to Windows and Macintosh

Problems occurring only in Windows

Problems occurring only in Macintosh

Problems related to the USB driver

Cannot install the driver correctly

• Is the CD-ROM correctly inserted into your CD-ROM drive?

Installation is not possible unless the CD-ROM included with the PCR-30/50/80 is inserted in your CD-ROM drive. Make sure that the CD-ROM is correctly inserted into your CD-ROM drive.

Is the CD-ROM or the lens of the CD-ROM dirty?

If the CD-ROM or the lens of the CD-ROM drive is dirty, the installer may not work correctly. Clean the disc and/or lens using a commercially-available CD cleaner or lens cleaner.

• Are you installing the software from a networked CD-ROM drive?

The software cannot be installed from a networked CD-ROM drive.

Is there sufficient free space on your hard disk?

Delete unneeded files to increase the amount of free space. After deleting the unneeded files, empty the recycling bin.

Is the PCR-30/50/80 connected correctly?

Make sure that the USB connector of your computer is connected to the PCR-30/50/80 by a USB cable.

Is the power of the PCR-30/50/80 turned on?

• The power switch of the PCR-30/50/80 may have been set to the USB position.

Make sure that the power switch of the PCR-30/50/80 is set to the DC position. Do not use bus power while installing the driver. Check this, and if you are using Windows, close the Sound and Multimedia Properties dialog box (Sounds and Audio Devices Properties in Windows XP, and Multimedia Properties in Windows 98), re-open the same dialog box once again, and specify the MIDI input/output destinations.

• Using the procedure for "Deleting the driver" (p. 93), delete the USB audio device driver installed in your computer, and then re-install the PCR-30/50/80 driver as described in "Installation" (p. 15). Also check whether there is any "Other devices" in "Device Manager" or "Unknown device" in "Universal Serial Bus Controllers". If you find any, delete them.

Is OMS or FreeMIDI installed?

The PCR-30/50/80 driver cannot be installed unless OMS or FreeMIDI are installed. Please install

OMS or FreeMIDI. ( "Installation et configuration du pilote (Macintosh)" (p. 27))

PCR-30/50/80 is not detected when making OMS or FreeMIDI settings

Is the PCR-30/50/80 detected?

Turn the power of the PCR-30/50/80 off, then on again.

Reconnect the USB cable.

If other USB devices are connected, connect only the PCR-30/50/80.

It is possible that the Macintosh did not correctly detect and initialize the PCR-30/50/80. Leave the PCR-30/50/80's USB cable connected, and restart your Macintosh. If it is still not detected, shut down your Macintosh, and then restart it.

The PCR-30/50/80 will not be detected if it is connected to the USB connector on the Macintosh keyboard.

Please connect the PCR-30/50/80 to a USB connector on the Macintosh itself.

"Find new hardware wizard" does not execute automatically

The "Insert Disk" dialog box does not appear

"Find new hardware wizard" ends before the process is completed

• It may take about 15 seconds (or more) after the USB cable is connected for the PCR-30/50/80 to be detected.
  Is the USB cable connected correctly?

Make sure that the PCR-30/50/80 and your computer are correctly connected via a USB cable.

Is USB enabled on your computer?

Refer to the operation manual for your computer, and make sure that USB is enabled.

• It has been found that in some cases, not all of the Windows 98 files required to support audio via USB are installed when a computer is shipped.

Please contact the manufacturer of your computer.

• Does your computer meet the USB specifications?

If you are using a computer that does not fulfill the electrical requirements of the USB specifications, operation may be unstable. In this case, you may be able to solve the problem by connecting a USB hub.

If the above actions do not solve the problem, it is possible that the PCR-30/50/80 has been incorrectly detected by the computer. Please reinstall the driver from the beginning of the procedure. () "Installation" (p. 15))

"Found unknown device" appears even though you installed the driver

If your computer or USB hub has two or more USB connectors, and you connect the PCR-30/50/80 to a USB connector to which the PCR-30/50/80 has never been connected before, the “Unknown device” dialog box may appear even on a computer onto which you have already installed the driver. Refer to “Installation” (p. 15), and install the driver once again. This is not a malfunction.

If the "Found unknown device" dialog box appears even though the PCR-30/50/80 is connected to the same USB connector as before, it is possible that the computer has detected the PCR-30/50/80 incorrectly. Please reinstall the driver from the beginning of the procedure. ( "Installation" (p. 15))

An “Unknown driver found” dialog box appears, and you are unable to install the driver

Device Manager shows “?”, “!”, or “USB Composite Device”

Driver is not installed correctly

It is possible that the computer has detected the PCR-30/50/80 incorrectly. Please reinstall the driver from the beginning of the procedure. ( "Installation" (p. 15))

Can't install/delete/use the driver in Windows XP/2000

• Did you log on to Windows as a user with administrative privileges?

In order to install/delete/re-install the driver in Windows XP/2000, you must be logged into Windows as a user with administrative privileges, such as Administrator. For details, please contact the system administrator for your computer system.

• Did you make "Driver Signing Options"?

In order to install/re-install the driver, you must make "Driver Signing Options". (Windows XP p. 16, Windows 2000 p. 20)

Windows XP/2000 displays a "Hardware Installation" or "Digital Signature Not Found" dialog box

• Did you make "Driver Signing Options"?

• The amount of data that can be transmitted at once is fixed for each type of data. Data that does not have the specified starting address and data size will not be received. Refer to the explanation in 3. Bulk Dump.
• There must be an interval of at least 40 ms between each exclusive message that is sent.
• Also, you must leave an interval of at least 500 ms after transmitting one set of bulk dump data.

3. Bulk dump

Bulk dump allows a large amount of data to be transferred in a single operation. For example, this can be used to store all settings of a device into a computer or sequencer.

On the PCR-30/50/80, a bulk dump will be transmitted when you execute the Bulk mode operation BULK TX. The bulk dump is transmitted as several exclusive messages.

Address

• You must leave an interval of at least 40 ms between each exclusive message.
• In the case of ALL BULK, the contents of memories 1--F will be transmitted as the current memory, consecutively from memory 1 through memory F. After transmitting one set of bulk dump data, you must leave an interval of at least 500 ms.
• Please be aware that if you modify the data dumped from the PCR-30/50/80 by changing the order in which the exclusive messages are transmitted, by inserting other messages between the system exclusive messages, or by speeding up the timing of the transmission, the data may not be set correctly when the PCR-30/50/80 receives it.

4. Supplementary material

- Decimal and Hexadecimal table

(An "H" is appended to the end of numbers in hexadecimal notation.)

In MIDI documentation, data values and addresses/sizes of Exclusive messages, etc. are expressed as hexadecimal values for each 7 bits.

The following table shows how these correspond to decimal numbers.

Dec.	Hex.	Dec.	Hex.	Dec.	Hex.	Dec.	Hex.

• The decimal expression of the MIDI channel, program change, etc., is one greater than the decimal value shown in the table above.
• The hexadecimal expression for each 7 bits allows a maximum of 128 steps (0--127) to be expressed by one byte of data. Multiple bytes are used if the data requires greater resolution than this. For example, a value expressed by two 7-bit bytes "aa" and "bbH" would be aa x 128 + bb.
• In the case of signed (+/-) data, 00H = -64, 40H = +/-0, and 7FH = +63; i.e., a value 64 less than the decimal value shown in the above table is used. In the case of a two-byte value, 00 00H = -8192, 40 00 = +/-0, and 7F 7F = +8191. For example, a value of "aa" and "bbH" would have a decimal expression of aa bbH - 40 00H = aa x 128 + bb - 64 x 128.
• In the case of data indicated as "use nibble data," hexadecimal expression in 4-bit units is used. A nibble-expressed value of the two bytes 0a and 0bH would have a value of a × 16 + b .

What is the decimal expression of 5AH?

From the preceding table, 5AH = 90

What is the decimal expression of the 7-bit hexadecimal value 1234H?

From the preceding table, 12H = 18 and 34H = 52

Thus, this is 18 × 128 + 52 = 2356

What is the decimal expression of the nibble-expressed value 0A 03 09 0D?

From the preceding table, 0AH = 10 03H = 3 09H = 9 ,and 0DH = 13

Thus, this is (10 × 16 + 3) × 16 + 9) × 16 + 13 = 41885

What is the nibble-expressed value of decimal 1258?

1258 ÷ 16 = 78 (quotient) ... 10 (remainder)

78÷ 16 = 4 (quotient) ... 14 (remainder)

4÷ 16 = 0 (quotient) ... 4 (remainder)

From the preceding table, 0 = 00H 4 = 04H 14 = 0EH 10 = 0HA

Thus, the nibble-expressed value is 00 04 0E 0AH

Example of an actual MIDI message

CE 04

CnH is the Program Change status. "n" is the MIDI channel number. EH = 14 , and 04H = 04 . Thus, this is a program change message on MIDI channel 15, for program number 05.

- Checksum calculation

In order to verify that the message was received correctly, Roland exclusive messages (RQ1, DT1) add a checksum following the end of the data (before the F7). The checksum value is determined by the address and data (or size) of the exclusive message that is transmitted.

Calculating the checksum

("H" has been added following hexadecimal values)

The checksum is a value that results in a lower 7 bits of 0 when the address, size, and checksum itself are added together.

Specifically, the calculation will be as follows when the exclusive message you want to transmit has an address of aa bb ccH and data or size of dd ee ffH.

aa + bb + cc + dd + ee + ff = total

total ÷ 128 = quotient...remainder

128 - remainder = checksum

• However, as an exception, the checksum for a remainder of 0 is not 80H but rather 00H .
