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.

The PCR-30/50/80 is a controller that transmits MIDI messages. You cannot perform using only the PCR-30/50/80 by itself. You will need to connect it to a sound module or computer. The various controllers ([R1--R8], [S1--S8], [B1--B6], [L1--L3], [P1, P2]) can be assigned almost any message you want to get the control you need for your particular setup. For details on the messages that can be assigned, refer to “Controller settings” (p. 126).

Connection and MIDI data flow

This section explains how to make basic connections for the PCR-30/50/80.

* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before making any connections.

* 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.

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.

* 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 Parameter Packets

00H, 00H, 00H, 00H--00H, 00H, 1A, 7F Current memory 27

* 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.

* 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 valuc, 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 x 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 12 34H?

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.

$$ \mathrm{aa} + \mathrm{bb} + \mathrm{cc} + \mathrm{dd} + \mathrm{ee} + \mathrm{ff} = \text { total } $$

$$ \text { total } \div 1 2 8 = \text { quotient } \dots \text { remainder } $$

$$ 1 2 8 - \text { remainder } = \text { checksum } $$

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