Basic Operation
PCM 91
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.
• All names, labels and values for ADJUST and Custom Controls.
• Effect name.
How the PCM 91 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 91 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 91 will search for available registers starting at
0.0 in the Internal Register Bank R0.
Turn ADJUST to select On. With Mem Protect on, when you press
the front panel Store button, the following message will be
displayed:
The PCM 91 will then jump to the Mem Protect display (Control
1.5) where you can use ADJUST to turn Mem Protect off.
Storing an Effect
With Memory Protection disabled, pressing Store will cause a mes-
sage like the following one to be displayed:
Store not active
Mem Protect is on
An asterisk (
✱
) is positioned in front of the display label which is available for
changing - in this case, the name of the effect.
The default bank
and register will
appear here.
Press Load/
✱
to move the cursor from the name, to the
register bank, and again to select the register location
within the selected bank.
“available” means
that this location is
empty. If an effect
is stored at this
location, its name
will appear here.
Name: ✱ D eep Blue
R 0.0 available
If you press Store again, the display will ask "Are you sure?" (Press
STORE). Pressing Store will cause the currently running effect to
be saved, as is, in the location shown in the lower left-hand corner
of the display. A brief message will inform you that the effect is
being stored, then the PCM 91 will revert to the mode it was in
before Store was pressed, with the newly-stored effect loaded.
