Basic Operation
Lexicon
Chain
Any Program Change number can be selected to load any one of
ten customized effect “chains". Additional chains can be stored on
RAM cards. Once a chain is loaded, effects in the chain are accessed
by the controller patched to Pgm + and Pgm – (program increment
and program decrement). Once you have selected Chain, press
Load/✱ to display:
Automation sends all MIDI commands in PCM 80 format, which is
also recognized by the PCM 81. As the PCM 80 has only four Banks
(0-3), it cannot load programs from PCM 81 Banks 4 and 5 in
Automation mode.
3.5 Send (Foot Pedal, Foot Sw 1, Foot Sw 2, ADJUST)
If Transmit is set to On these four controllers can transmit MIDI
controller messages. Press Load/✱ to cycle through controller
selections. Use ADJUST to select the MIDI Controller message to
transmit.
3.6 Int Clock
You can choose to have the PCM 81 transmit MIDI Clock at the
current tempo rate by setting this control to On and Tempo mode
Source (0.2) to Internal. If this control is set to Off, MIDI Clock will
not be transmitted.
3.7 SysEx
This control is provided for communication with one or more
additional PCM 81s or computer editor software. On (the default
setting) allows SysEx messages to be received by the PCM 81.
Press Load/✱ to select device ID (0-126 ).
3.8 Dump
Press Store to configure the PCM 81 to execute MIDI dumps of
single effects, banks, maps, chains, or setups. With the exception of
Setup Dumps, all dumps are transmitted in PCM 80 format, which
is also recognized by the PCM 81. You can dump from the front
panel of either unit to the other. As the PCM 80 has only four Banks
(0-3), references to Banks 4 and 5 will be ignored when
transmitted to a PCM 80.

Turn ADJUST to select the desired Program Chain. When set to
MIDI, Program Chains will be loaded by MIDI Program Change
messages according to the settings of Chain Pgm Assign in Row 6.
To load a specific Program Chain, without sending the PCM 81 a
MIDI Program Change message, use ADJUST to display the desired
chain number:
3.4 Automation
This control is provided for communication with one or more
additional PCM 80s or PCM 81s. Select On to have values resulting
from front panel operations sent out as SysEx messages. Press
Load/✱ to select the ID (0-126 or All) of the target PCM 81(s).
