Basic Operation
PCM 91
When you release the Edit button, the display will change to
the Soft Row Assignment display shown below. The Edit button
LED will begin flashing and will continue to flash as long as you
are in Soft Row Assign.

2. With any Soft Row parameter displayed, press and hold down
the Edit button. The following display will appear briefly.
Here we show the first Soft Row parameter in our example —
the actual Soft Row parameter selected will correspond to
whichever one was displayed when you pressed and held Edit.
3. Turn ADJUST to scroll through all of the available parameters in
the Edit matrix row by row, in numerical order. The entry
"available" can be selected (at the fully counterclockwise
position of ADJUST) to indicate that no assignment has been
made at that position. Custom Controls are available for
assignment at the end of the parameter list.
4. Turn SELECT to display another Soft Row position (0-9) for
assignment. For each position, you can choose any effect
parameter, including one(s) you have already assigned to a
Soft Row position.
5. When you have arranged the Soft Row assignments as you
want them, press Edit to exit Soft Row Assign and return to
your last position in the Edit matrix. Pressing Up or Down once
will also cause you to exit Soft Row Assign. Another push of
either of these buttons will move you vertically through the
Edit matrix.
When you return to Go mode, you will see the parameters in the
order you assigned them — the spaces from any unassigned row
positions will not appear.
PATCHING
Patching is the ability to assign a control (Source) to any PCM 91
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 way 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 91 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.
