Edirol by Roland PCR-300/500/800 HOLD pedal in SPLIT mode

6 Aug 2022, 03:22

Can someone test if an Edirol by Roland PCR-300 / PCR-500 / PCR-800 is in SPLIT mode and she/he presses the HOLD pedal, to which MIDI channel will the instrument send the message? LOWER and UPPER part? Only the LOWER part? Only the UPPER part?
Specifically, I'm wondering if the Edirol PCR-300 / PCR-500 / PCR-800 can make the HOLD pedal send the CC64 message to the UPPER channel in Split mode, but not to the LOWER channel.
Thank you!

I test the HOLD (P1) and EXPRESSION (P2) controllers of an Edirol PCR-300. I got the following result:

1. There is no assignment to the controller, OMNI value is arbitrary: in Dual mode it sends to Lower and Upper channel, in Split mode it sends to Lower and Upper channel.

2. The controller is assigned, OMNI Off: In Dual mode it sends to the channel assigned to the controller, in Split mode it sends to the channel assigned to the controller.

3. The controller is assigned, OMNI On: in Dual mode it sends to the Lower channel, in Split mode it sends to the Lower channel.

Which MIDI channel(s) does the HOLD (P1) pedal send to in Dual/Split mode?
1. No assignment to HOLD (P1) pedal: sends CC64 to Lower and Upper channel.
2. A Channel Message is assigned to the HOLD (P1) pedal and Omni=Off: sends to the assigned channel of the controller.
3. A Channel Message is assigned to the HOLD (P1) pedal and Omni=On: sends to the channel of the zone selected by the Upper or Lower button.

Which MIDI channel(s) does the EXPRESSION (P2) pedal send to in Dual/Split mode?
1. No assignment to EXPRESSION (P2) pedal: sends CC11 to Lower and Upper channel.
2. A Channel Message is assigned to the EXPRESSION (P2) pedal and Omni=Off: sends to the assigned channel of the controller.
3. A Channel Message is assigned to the EXPRESSION (P2) pedal and Omni=On: sends to the channel of the zone selected by the Upper or Lower button.
