Loading Program/Setup Files Into RAM

1. Connect a MIDI cable from the MIDI Out of your
computer or sequencer to the MIDI In of the PC2.
2. Insert the PC2 CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
computer or sequencer.
3. Launch your sequencer application if necessary.
4. Save (dump) any programs in the User bank that you
want to keep, because they’ll be erased when you load
the MIDI file (this also applies to Setups 001-032 in the
User bank if you load the Orchestral program set).
5. Open the MIDI file that you want to load in RAM, The
Orchestral file’s name is ORCHRAM.mid, and the GM
file’s name is GMRAM.mid. Please note that these are
not the same files as the ROM versions.
6. Play the MIDI file. The file’s contents automatically get
loaded in RAM. The LED in the MIDI Recv button
lights to indicate the data flow.
7. Turn your instrument off, then on again (or do a soft
reset; don’t do a hard reset). Always do this when you
load one of these files into RAM. This enables the
instrument to reinitialize with the proper sound and
program information.
Note: If your instrument has the PCX-1 Polyphony
Expansion Option, the initialization described in Step 7 takes
several seconds. The PC2’s display indicates the progress of
the initialization.
