Individual Preset Initialization; Memory Usage - Peavey PC 1600X Mode D'emploi

single notes (with pre-programmed velocity or the velocity from the pedals). Reserve keys on your keyboard for
sending SysEx messages. Or, use your Program Change pedal board to send more complex MIDI messages (like
SysEx or multiple Program Changes). The possibilities are virtually unlimited.
Move to the utility screen displayed below. Pick the emulation type (Off, Notes, PrgCh), the MIDI channel you are
sending these messages on (1-16), and the starting value (0-127). The starting value is the base note number or
base program number, depending on the emulation type. The base value will emulate button #1, while the next 15
values will emulate buttons #2-#15. The incoming message will not be echoed, even if the button is "Off." (NOTE:
Middle C on a MIDI keyboard is note number 60 [3Ch].)
When the type is set to "Notes," Note On messages will emulate a button press, while Note Off messages (includ-
ing Note On with velocity = 0, of course) will emulate a button release. In "PrgCh" mode, Program Change mes-
sages will emulate a button press immediately followed by the release. (You probably won't find much use for a
prs/rls string when emulating in PrgCh mode — use normal or toggled strings instead.)

INDIVIDUAL PRESET INITIALIZATION

When creating new presets, it is perfectly fine to edit existing presets. However, if you prefer to start with a "clean
slate," a preset initialization function is available in the utility menu.
1. Press the Utility button
2. Use the up/down buttons to move to the following screen:
3. Select the preset number you wish to re-initialize.
4. Press ENTER, then you will be asked, "ARE YOU SURE?"
5. Press ENTER again to confirm initialization. The preset will be renamed "—Initialized—".
Note: All presets share the same block of memory, which gets divided among the available presets.
This utility is very handy for freeing up memory since you can reinitialize presets that are not needed.

MEMORY USAGE

PC 1600x presets are dynamically allocated, allowing a single preset to be very large when necessary. If too
many large presets are created, the PC 1600x will run out of preset memory. When this occurs, some memory
must be freed by removing (reinitializing) or re-defining presets. The memory usage display helps determine which
presets to modify. To use the memory usage display:
1. Press the Utility button.
2. Use the up/down buttons or data wheel to access the following page:
3. Press the left or right button to activate the field.
4. Use the up/down buttons or the data wheel to view the amount of free memory and the amount of memory
used by each preset.
Note: The names of faders, CV inputs, and buttons only use memory per character, therefore shorten-
ing the names frees up memory. Preset names, however, have a fixed length, so this wouldn't
apply.
