Edirol has released downloadable PCR Editor software for

during a sequence. In addition to offering easy implementation of different MIDI messages, the PCR-Editor
also allows the user to specify minimum & maximum values for each control.
The PCR-Editor is available as a free download from the Edirol website at www.edirol.com and
