The PCM92 features a single powerful processor, which can be used as up
to four virtual machines. For example, you could send the left input signal
through a mono reverb in one virtual machine and send the right input sig-
nal through a mono delay in another virtual machine. You could then send
both signals through a chorus effect on a third virtual machine. You could
then save this configuration as a
System Preset. It’s a preset that includes a
system of virtual machines.
System Presets can be extremely complex and are generally tailored especially
for the mix you’re working on. Lexicon
® has provided a number of these
presets, just to give you an idea about what you might do. Who knows?
You might like them just the way they are. Feel free to make modified ver-
sions of the factory presets, or create your own from scratch. The possibili-
ties are nearly endless, so have fun.
When a preset only includes a single virtual machine, it’s called a
Machine
Preset.
