MIDI Operation
The number of banks available on a given card will vary with card
size as follows:
Card Size
Banks
64
2
256
11
512
23
1 Meg
47
Pgm Change: Map
Program Change 0-127 can be mapped to any PCM 81 Effect in
any internal or card bank. Two 128 element maps are stored
internally, additional maps may be stored on RAM cards.
Map 0
Map 1
MIDI 0 = P0 0.0
MIDI 0 = P2 2.8
MIDI 127 = P2 2.7
MIDI 127 = R 4.9
Pgm+ and Pgm– will load the next higher or lower program in the
map.
Pgm Change: Chain
Any Program Change number can be selected to load any one of
ten customized effect "chains." Once a chain is loaded, effects in
the chain are accessed by the controller patched to Pgm + and
Pgm – (program increment and program decrement).

AUTOMATION
SYSEX AUTOMATION
The PCM 81 will transmit SysEx automation messages when
Control Mode parameter 3.4, MIDI Automation is set to On. All
changes made by front panel operations are transmitted as PCM
80 SysEx messages. This is intended primarily for use by editor pro-
grams and in configurations where it is desirable for one or more
PCM 81s to be slaved to a single PCM 81 acting as a master. The
current mode (Program Banks, Register Banks, Edit, Control or
Tempo) of the slave does not follow the master, but the actual
parameter values do. (SysEx automation can also be stored on a
sequencer and replayed in real-time. As a general rule, automating
more than two or three SysEx program changes at once is not
recommended.) Because messages are transmitted as PCM 80
messages, either PCM 80s or PCM 81s can be slaved to the master.
The PCM 81 can receive SysEx messages when Control mode 3.7
MIDI SysEx is set to Receive On. Note that when using SysEx
automation, the device of the receiving PCM 81 must match the
Target ID of the transmitting PCM 81.
The Target ID setting can be adjusted from Control 3.4 MIDI
Automation. It is selected by pressing Load/✱
Automation to On. The default setting for the Target ID is All.
The Device ID setting can be adjusted from Control mode 3.7 MIDI
SysEx. It is selected by pressing Load/✱ after setting SysEx to
Receive On. The default setting for the Device ID is 0.
