Basic Operation

The PCM 80 has 4 Program Banks, each with
50 factory-designed programs

A Register Bank provides 50 memory locations for
storing your own effects.

All PCM 80 programs have one or more parameters
patched to the ADJUST knob.

In Program Banks or Register Banks mode, turn
ADJUST to change the sound of the currently
running effect. While ADJUST is turned, the patch
name and value are displayed.

The PCM 80 has 200 factory-designed programs, organized into four Program
Banks of 50 each, and 50 memory locations, called registers, for storing your
customized effects. One Register Bank is available in the PCM 80 itself.
Additional Register Banks can be stored on PCMCIA cards.

Prime Blue
) is loaded. The Bank ID (P0, P1, P2, P3 ),matrix location, program
name, and the algorithm from which the effect is derived are all displayed.
