PCM 90 User Guide
Beyond simple ADJUST knob editing, the PCM 90 offers two levels of editing
control, called Go mode and Pro mode. Go mode is designed to be a basic
"plug and play" mode, with easy access to a specific set of preset parameters.
For each of the 250 presets, we have designed a Soft Row containing those
parameters which allow you to make value changes to the effect without losing
the character of the sound.
When shipped, the PCM 90 will power up in Go mode with the first preset (P0
0.0 Deep Blue) loaded. Press Edit to display the Soft Row of parameters which
have been designed for this preset. In this example, 10 soft row parameters have
been assigned. The name of each Soft Row parameter is displayed, along with
a reference to its row in the Edit matrix.
Turn SELECT to scroll all of the available parameters in the Soft Row. Turn
ADJUST to change the value of any displayed parameter along its entire range.
The Soft Row
Each preset has a Soft Row of parameters which have been
specifically selected to provide everything you need to play with the
effect. This example shows the Soft Row for P0 0.0 Deep Blue. An asterisk in front of a displayed parameter
indicates additional parameters are available when
you press Load/

The Soft Row display shows:
an Edit matrix row label...
... and the current parameter value.
Each effect has four available Custom Controls which can be patched to one or
more parameters and assigned to the Soft Row. Like the ADJUST knob, Custom
Controls can be individually named and can have customized range limits to
make them more useful. In the presets, Custom Controls are assigned to the Soft
Row in sequence after Mix, so that their positions in the Soft Row will always
relate to their Control number. This is a convention you may want to follow in
creating your own Soft Rows.
... the name of the parameter...
Soft Row parameters are
derived from the full Edit
matrix (with the exception
of the Patch row). In the
presets, they are
arranged according to
their numerical order in
the matrix after Mix and
any Custom Controls.
