Using the PC-80 as a MIDI controller keyboard

You can transmit a

Start message

(FAh) or

Stop message

(FCh) to an external sequencer to

make it start or stop playing its sequence data.
By transmitting a

Continue message

(FBh) you can make the sequencer resume playing the

sequence data from the point where it was last stopped.

• You’ll use Controller mode to transmit Start messages and Stop messages.

• You will use

Utility mode

to transmit

Continue messages

(p. 61).

Starting/stopping playback data—Transmitting a Start/Stop/Continue message

What is Controller mode?

In this mode, the MIDI CH button, PGM CHANGE button, and VALUE encoder will perform
different functions than when in Play mode (the normal condition).

To enter Controller mode

Simultaneously press the MIDI CH button and PGM CHANGE button; the MIDI CH button and
PGM CHANGE

button will light, and you will be in Controller mode.

When you once again press the MIDI CH button and PGM CHANGE button simultaneously, the
PGM CHANGE

button will go out, and you will return to Play mode (the normal condition).

* Controller mode works only from Play mode. It is not available from Utility mode.
