The PCR-300/500/800 have fifty fully assignable controllers; you can freely assign any MIDI message to each of these controllers. The MIDI settings assigned to the controllers are collectively called a “control map.” This is the same as what was called a “memory set” on previous models of the PCR series. For details on how to assign MIDI messages to controllers, refer to Using PCR Editor (p.
