Basic Operation
PCM 81
When you store an effect, the following things are saved:
• Values of all Edit matrix parameters. This includes the initial
values for any patch destinations when Patch Update (Control
mode 1.7) is set to Delayed.
• Soft Row parameter assignments.
• Value of ADJUST when the effect was stored.
• Last parameter selected when the effect was stored.
• Tempo Rate and BeatValue.
• Tap Duration and Average.
• ADJUST name.
• Effect name.
How the PCM 81 Selects a Default Bank and Register
If a register is loaded when Store is pressed, the default location will
be the same as the loaded effect. If a preset is loaded when Store
is pressed, the default location is determined as follows:
The PCM 81 always uses the last-stored register location as a
starting point. Its default choice is the next "available" register
within that bank. If there are no available registers at a higher
location number within the same bank, the default location will be
that of the last stored register.
If the last stored register is on a RAM card, and the RAM card is not
inserted, the PCM 81 will search for available registers starting at
0.0 in the Internal Register Bank.
Renaming the Effect
Renaming an effect is straightforward. With the asterisk and the
cursor positioned as shown, turn ADJUST to select a new character.
Press Up or Down to select a new type of character (upper case,
lower case, numeric, symbolic, or blank). Simultaneously press Up
and Down to clear all characters from the cursor to the end of the
line. Turn SELECT to reposition the cursor over another character,
and use ADJUST to change it. Continue in this manner until you
have finished entering the new name. A maximum of 12 characters
(including spaces) may be used.
Use ADJUST to select a new character. Turn SELECT to move the
cursor to another position.
