Audition the Programs

Edit

The PCM 81 offers two levels of editing control: Go mode and Pro mode.
Go Mode
• Go mode gives you access to a specific set of
parameters for each of the 300 presets. We have designed each set of
parameters to allow you to make changes to the effect without losing
the character of the sound.
• In Go mode, press Edit to access the most useful preset parameters for
the currently running effect.
• Turn SELECT to view the available parameters.
• Turn ADJUST to change the value of any displayed parameter.

Pro Mode

• Pro mode gives you access to the full effect edit matrix whenever you
press Edit. The edit matrix contains all effect parameters, as well as
Patching and Modulation controls.
• The PCM 81 is shipped in Go mode. To change the Edit mode, press
Control, use SELECT and Up and Down to locate matrix position 1.0.
Turn ADJUST to select Go or Pro.
Store
• Press Store. The current program name will appear with a flashing
cursor over the first letter of the name.
• Turn ADJUST to select a new character. Press Up or Down to select a new
type of character (upper or lower case, numeric, symbolic, or blank). Turn
SELECT to move the cursor to a new character.
• Press Load/✱ to display the name currently assigned to the ADJUST knob
patch. Use the same procedure for entering a new name.
Press Load/✱ twice to move the ✱ to the Register ID number in the lower
•
left corner of the display. Use ADJUST or SELECT to choose the register
where you want the effect saved.
• When the display shows the register number you want, press Store. Press
Store in response to the "Are you sure?" message to save your new effect
to the displayed register location.

Compare
• When you turn ADJUST, or perform any other parameter edits, the front panel
Compare light will go on to indicate that the program has been modified since
it was last stored. Press Compare to hear the unedited version. Press again to
return to your edited program.
Bypass
• Press Bypass to mute the input signal. A Bypass Mode parameter at Control
mode 1.3 allows you to select input muting, output muting, input and output
muting, or bypass as alternatives. You can also assign the bypass function to an
external controller.
Note:
The PCM 81 will not perform a store instruction if the Memory Protection option is
on. To turn Memory Protection off, press Control. Use Up and Down and SELECT
to locate matrix position 1.5. Turn ADJUST to display Off.
In addition to these easy plug and play techniques, the PCM 81 provides
extensive system control via front panel patching or MIDI. For complete
details on these and other features, read the PCM 81 Owner's Manual.
