PCM 80 Presets
PCM 80 presets are organized in 4 Banks (P0, P1, P2 and P3) of 50 presets/Bank (numbered 0.0 – 4.9). Press Program Banks repeatedly to cycle through the
Banks. Within each Bank, presets are functionally grouped. Turn SELECT to view the presets in the selected Bank. Press Load/✱ to load any displayed preset.
Each preset has one or more parameters patched to the front panel ADJUST knob. This gives you instant access to some of the most interesting aspects of the
effect. In addition, all of the presets marked with a T can be synchronized to tempo. To set the tempo, press the front panel Tap button twice in time with the beat.
(Tempo can also be dialed in as a parameter value, or it can be determined by MIDI Clock.) Be sure to try these effects synchronized with MIDI sequence and
drum patterns.

ut level controls the relative mix of stereo chorus and
erb. Loud signals are mostly chorus, and the reverb level
mes up as the signal fades away.

lied to both delays and reverb tail.
Detune & Room ADJUST: Detune 0–127
ery tight room combined with separate pitch modulation on

ch 6-voice chorus in parallel with reverb.

reverb.
Glide X-Ekos ADJUST: Eko Time 0–100
ilar to Glide > Verb, but ADJUST lets you dial in echo times
m 0-2 seconds. Feedback and cross feedback are com-
ed to create echo patterns that change as they repeat.
Detuned Ekos ADJUST: Ekos/Beat 1–24
e reverb combined with independent stereo delays. The
ay voices are diffused and modulated. The echoes are
hmic. T
1.8 StereoEqEkos ADJUST: Ekos/Beat 1–24
Six rhythmic echo voices are EQ’d and panned across stereo
space. ADJUST sets the number of repeats per beat. T
1.9 ADJUpMyEchos ADJUST: EchosLvl 0–10
Concert hall reverb with 4 panned echo voices in the back-
ground. T
Modulation Effects
2.0 FSw2 Elevate ADJUST: Feedback 0–99
Multiple echo voices with diffusion, modulation and a touch of
plate reverb. Footswitch 2 is patched to turn on the AR
Envelope which sweeps the master delay. T
2.1 Chorus &Pan ADJUST: LFO Rate 0–100
A moving chorus that shifts the output signal from left to right.
Increasing the Delay Master will smear the delay images.
2.2 Chorus&Amb ADJUST: MstChorus 0–100

2.4 Split C&E ADJUST: InputPan 0–100
The left input is processed into a lush 3-voice chorus with the
voice panners adjusted from center to left. The right input is
processed into a rhythmic 3-voice echo with the output panned
from center to right. ADJUST cross-pans the inputs. 0=L/R
stereo, 50=mono, 100=R/L stereo. T
2.5 Env:PanKorus ADJUST: Chorus 0–127
The AR Envelope drives the speed of the pan based on the
presence or absence of input signal.
2.6 6 Vox Flange ADJUST: MstrDepth 0–100
A rich stereo flanger with a touch of reverb.
2.7 Mod Max ADJUST: Mod Knob 0–50

2.9 Round 147 ADJUST: RotorRate 0–20
A big wooden rotary speaker cabinet miked fairly close.
3.0 FSw2 Rotary ADJUST: Width 0–100
A dual-rotor speaker cabinet with a very wide stereo spin and
a touch of ambience. ADJUST controls the width and direction
of the spinning rotors. 0=very wide L→R, 64=mono, 127=very
wide R→L. Footswitch 2 toggles slow and fast speeds. The AR
envelope is used to simulate the inertial drag as the rotors
speed up or slow down.
3.1 RotorCabinet ADJUST: Slow/Fast 0–1
Similar to FSw 2 Rotor, but ADJUST is used to toggle the
speed of the rotors between slow and fast. FX Width sets the
width and direction of the spin.
3.2 MIDI Rotary ADJUST: EkoFbk 0–100
Similar to FSw 2 Rotor, but with echoes added and the rotors
patched for MIDI control. MIDI AfterTouch toggles speed.
Press hard to spin fast, press hard again to spin slow. T

The RotorCabinet effect in a tiled room. Try it with background
vocals, as well as keyboard and guitar sources.
3.4 RotoWood ADJUST: Speed 0–10
ADJUST quickly advances the speed of the rotors. Increase
the Feedback Master for more upper rotor “howling”.
3.5 RandomImages ADJUST: ImageKnob 0–12
Individual input notes come out at random locations in
stereo image. Delays "creep" slowly out to new time valu
Best with solo instruments or voices. T

running in the infinite process, you can play softer passa
against it which chorus and echo at the same time. T
4.6 Remove Cntr ADJUST: Cntr Fc 0–12
