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 91 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 Deep
Blue) is loaded. The Bank ID (P0-P8 ), matrix location, program
name, and bank and row labels are all displayed.
Press Program Banks repeatedly to cycle through the program
banks. Simultaneously press Program Banks along with either Up or
Down to backstep.
SELECT will scroll sequentially through all of the effects in one bank
and then begin scrolling through the next bank. Press Program
Banks to reselect the last displayed effect in another bank. Press
Load/✱ to load any displayed effect.
Custom controls allow you to create additional group parameter controls.
