Store Operations

How the PCM 90 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 de-
termined as follows:
The PCM 90 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 in-
serted, the PCM 90 will search for
available registers starting at 0.0 in
the Internal Register Bank R0.

Turning Memory Protection On
The PCM 90 is shipped with its Memory Protection option off. To turn Memory
Protection on, press Control and use Up and Down and SELECT to display
matrix location 1.5. The display should read:
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 90 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 message like the
following one to be displayed:
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 location 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.
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 lefthand corner of the display. A brief message will
inform you that the effect is being stored, then the PCM 90 will revert to the mode
it was in before Store was pressed, with the newly-stored effect loaded.
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.
