Basic Operation

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 Prime Blue.

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.

Beyond simple ADJUST knob editing, the PCM 80 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 200 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 80 will power up in Go mode with the first preset (P0
0.0 Prime 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.
