PATCHING
Patching is the ability to assign a control (Source) to any PCM 81
parameter (Destination). This allows you to alter the value of the
parameter by manipulating the control Source. For example, you
can select the front panel ADJUST knob as a Source and an effect's
Mix parameter as a Destination. This simple patch will allow you to
dynamically alter the mix of the effect whenever you turn ADJUST.
You can create as many as 10 patches, each with as many as 8 pairs
of pivot points. You can patch multiple parameters to a single
controller, or patch multiple Sources to a single Destination.
About Sources
All Sources are the same in the sense that each generates an
output value in the range of 0-127. The output value is used to
increase or decrease the setting of a Destination parameter. Sources
differ in the manner in which they generate an output. Some
generate values continuously (they’re always “on”); some generate
output based on the position of a particular external MIDI
controller, or an external footpedal, or footswitch. Some Sources
generate output based on aspects of physical performance such as
how loud, how fast, or how hard you play. The PCM 81 allows you
to choose from a selection of Sources as shown for each
Destination. A list of the available Sources is shown on the
following page.
The Patch Row
Each PCM 81 effect has an identical Patch row at the end of its Edit
matrix where you can make as many as 10 patches.
To make a patch, use SELECT and the Down button to move down
through the Edit matrix to the Patch row. A display such as the
following will appear.
An asterisk (
✱
) indicates that Sources will be selected when you turn ADJUST.
Press Load/✱ to change the selection to Dst. Press Load/✱ again to bring up
the Values display where you can select Src Value and Dst Value.
SELECT will move
you across the
Patch Row (0-9).
The Source type is indicated here. (Int, MIDI or 001-119
to indicate a MIDI Controller.)
The current Source
assignment name
is shown here. (The
default assignment
is Int . . . Off.

Pressing the Load /✱ button will change the display to allow you
to sequentially select: Src, Dst, Src Value and Dst Value. Press Up or
Down together with Load/✱ to backstep to the previous
parameter.
Assigning a Source
Three types of sources are available: Internal, MIDI and MIDI
Controller. These types are indicated in the Source list by the labels:
Int, MIDI, or a number (001-119). Turn ADJUST to scroll through
the entire list of available sources.
