The PC2 simply needs to be turned on in normal play mode and hooked up to your computer via a MIDI cable. Double-click on the .mid file for either the orchestral or GM bank and it will automatically load these into the user bank in about a minute. These sounds stay in the PC2 even when powered off and back on, but will be erased by a hard reset.<\/p>\n<p>So with this method, you can not only have the GM or Orchestral sounds permanently in your PC2 but the other bank loaded into battery-backed semi-permanent RAM as well.
