Powering On the PC4
1. Power on the PC4 by pressing the POWER button on the right rear panel.
2. If you are using speakers, turn up the volume on your amplifier or mixer.
3. Slowly turn up the PC4 VOLUME Slider and play some notes to check the volume
level. (If you have a CC pedal plugged into the CC (VOLUME) jack, make sure it is set
to the maximum volume position).
4. If you are using speakers and the PC4 is not loud enough, turn up the volume on your
amplifier or mixer.
5. If you are using a mixer and hear distortion, reduce the gain level on the mixer, or use
the mixer’s Pad button if it has one (a button that typically decreases the audio input level
by 20dB).
6. After using the PC4, if you are using speakers, turn the master volume all the way down
on your amplifier or mixer before powering off the PC4.

the USER and 0/MISC buttons simultaneously to listen to a multi-channel demo song.

Mode button under the MODE label to the right of the display.
Automatic Power Saving
The PC4 has an automatic power saving feature (Auto Power Off) that can automatically
power off the PC4 after a period of inactivity, in order to conserve electricity. The Auto
Power Off feature is enabled by default. The default Power Off Time is 8 hours, which will
cause the PC4 to power off after 8 hours of inactivity.
A count down timer warning will be shown in the display a few minutes before the PC4 is
powered off. At any time, touching any PC4 control or playing a note will cause the PC4 to
remain powered on, until the PC4 has been inactive for the set Power Off Time.
Auto Power Off can be disabled in Global Mode. The Power Off Time can also be adjusted
in Global Mode.
