Basic Operation
PCM 81
PROGRAM AND REGISTER BANKS
The PCM 81 has 300 factory-designed programs, organized into
six Program Banks of 50 each, and 50 memory locations, called
registers, for storing your customized effects. One Register Bank is
available in the PCM 81 itself. Additional Register Banks can be
stored on PCMCIA cards.
SELECTING EFFECTS
The procedure for loading effects is the same, whether you are
choosing from banks of factory presets, or from your own banks of
registers. When first turned on, the PCM 81 will load whatever
effect was running when it was last turned off. When shipped from
the factory, the first effect in the first Program Bank (P0 0.0 Prime
Blue) is loaded. The Bank ID (P0, P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 ),matrix
location, program name, and the algorithm from which the effect
is derived are all displayed.

The PCM 81 has 6 Program Banks, each with
50 factory-designed programs.
A Register Bank provides 50 memory locations
for storing your own effects.
All PCM 81 programs have
one or more parameters
patched to the Adjust knob.
In Program Banks or Register
Banks mode, turn Adjust to
change the sound of the
currently running effect. While
Adjust is turned, the patch
name and value are displayed.
ADJUST
Indicates that the ADJUST knob is patched to one or more parameters in the currently-
running effect - in this case, Prime Blue.
The patch indicator remains to indicate that the currently-running effect has an ADJUST
knob patch, although the displayed effect may not.
An asterisk in the display indicates that the displayed effect is not loaded.
Turn SELECT to display another effect.

Press Program Banks to cycle through the program banks.
Simultaneously press Program Banks along with either Up or Down
to backstep.
Turn SELECT to scroll through all 300 effects. Press Program Banks
to reselect the last displayed effect in another bank. Press Load/✱
to load the displayed effect.
In the Program and Register Banks, ADJUST is a Soft Knob. Each of
the factory-designed programs has one or more parameters
patched to this knob, providing a quick way to make useful
changes to the effect. For example, in P0 0.0 Prime Blue, ADJUST
varies the mix of Chorus, Echo and Reverb effects.
