ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
WARNING
- Before using this unit, make sure to read the instructions below, and the Owner's Manual.

- Do not open (or modify in any way) the unit or its AC adaptor.

- Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

- Never use or store the unit in places that are:
- Subject to temperature extremes (e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

- Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

- Humid; or are
- Exposed to rain; or are
- Dusty; or are
- Subject to high levels of vibration.
• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

WARNING
- Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

- Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

- Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

- Immediately turn the power off, remove the AC adaptor from the outlet, and request servicing by your retailer, the nearest EDIROL/Roland Service Center, or an authorized EDIROL/Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page when:

- The AC adaptor or the power-supply cord has been damaged; or
• If smoke or unusual odor occurs
- Objects have fallen into, or liquid has been spilled onto the unit; or
- The unit has been exposed to rain (or otherwise has become wet); or
- The unit does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance.
WARNING
- In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

- Protect the unit from strong impact. (Do not drop it!)

- Do not force the unit's power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord's outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

- Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the "Information" page.

- DO NOT play a CD-ROM disc on a conventional audio CD player. The resulting sound may be of a level that could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers or other system components may result.

CAUTION
- The unit and the AC adaptor should be located so their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.

• Always grasp only the output plug or the body of the AC adaptor when plugging into, or unplugging from, this unit or an outlet.

- At regular intervals, you should unplug the AC adaptor and clean it by using a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other accumulations away from its prongs. Also, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet whenever the unit isto remain unused for an extended period of time. Any accumulation of dust between the power plug and the power outlet can result in poor insulation and lead to fire.

- Try to prevent cords and cables from becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

- Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

- Never handle the AC adaptor body, or its output plugs, with wet hands when plugging into, or unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.

- Before moving the unit, disconnect the AC adaptor and all cords coming from external devices.

- Before cleaning the unit, turn off the power and unplug the AC adaptor from the outlet.

- Whenever you suspect the possibility of lightning in your area, disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet.

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.

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. 126) in Edit mode to assign a message to a button, you must specify the operating mode of the button (button mode).
- Press the [0] or [1] key to select either Latch mode or Toggle mode.
0 Lat ![]() | The setting will turn on when you press the button, and off when you release it. The button will remain lit while you are pressing it. | |
1 Toç ![]() | 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. |
- Press the [ENTER] button.
* 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. 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.
- Press a key [1]–[3] to select the port.
| 1 PO | ![]() | will be sent to “PCR 1.” | |
| 2 PO | ![]() | will be sent to “PCR 2.” | |
| 3 PO | ![]() | will be sent to both “PCR 1” and “PCR 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.

V-LINK mode
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. 173), delete the USB audio device driver installed in your computer, and then re-install the PCR-30/50/80 driver as described in “Setup” (p. 13). 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. (→ "Installing & Setting Up the Driver (Macintosh)" (p. 25))

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. (→“Setup” (p. 13))

"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 "Setup" (p. 13), 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. (→“Setup” (p. 13))

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. (→“Setup” (p. 13))

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"?

* 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.

* 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.

* 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
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.
