SYSTEM PRESETS AND MACHINE PRESETS
The PCM96 Surround features a single powerful processor, which can be
used as up to four virtual machines. For example, you could send the left
input signal through a mono reverb in one virtual machine and send the
right input signal through a mono delay in another virtual machine. You
could then send both signals through a chorus effect on a third virtual

Preset.
