The Presets
The PCM 81 has 300 factory-designed presets which are organized into six
banks of 50 each (labeled P0- P5). Each bank is organized in a matrix of 5 rows
of 10. Press the front panel Program Banks button to display the first bank.
Press it again to switch to another bank. Simultaneously press Program Banks
and either the Up or Down button to backstep through the banks. The display
will show the bank label and the matrix location, the preset name, and the
algorithm from which the effect is derived. Turn SELECT to scroll through all of
the presets in numerical order. Use Up or Down to jump forward or backward
by 10. Press Load/
✱
to load any displayed preset.
In the Program Banks mode (as in the Register Banks mode), ADJUST is a soft
knob. Each preset has one or more parameters patched to this knob, providing
a quick way to make useful changes to the effect. (A
■
symbol in the upper left
corner of the display indicates that the currently running effect has an ADJUST
knob patch.) When you turn ADJUST, the display will show the name assigned
to ADJUST, as well as the patch value. Continue turning ADJUST to alter the
patch value along its available range. The program banks are organized as
follows:
