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. MIDI CH PROGRAM CHANGE
*
Decimal 1–16 1–128
Hexadecimal 0–F 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.
