The PCM 80 is shipped with its Memory Protection option on. When you press
the front panel Store button, the following message will be displayed:
Mem Protect is on
Store not active
To turn Memory Protection off, press Control and use Up and Down and
SELECT to display matrix location 1.5. The display should read:

Turn ADJUST to select Off.
With Memory Protection disabled, pressing Store will cause a message like the
following one to be displayed:

How the PCM 80 selects a
default Bank and Register
If a register is loaded when Store is
pressed, the default location will be
the same as the loaded effect. If a
preset is loaded when Store is
pressed, the default location is de-
termined as follows:
The PCM 80 always uses the last-
stored register location as a starting
point. Its default choice is the next
"available" register within that bank.
If there are no available registers at
a higher location number within the
same bank, the default location will
be that of the last stored register.
If the last stored register is on a RAM
card, and the RAM card is not in-
serted, the PCM 80 will search for
available registers starting at 0.0 in
the Internal Register Bank.
Storing an Effect
R 0.0 available
Name: ✱ Prime Blue
An asterisk ( ✱ ) is positioned in front of the display
label which is available for changing — in this
case, the name of the effect.
"available" means that
this location is empty. If
an effect is stored at this
location, its name will
appear here.
The default Bank and
register location will
appear here.
Press Load/ ✱ to select the ADJUST patch for renaming.
Press again to select the register bank. Press again to
select the register location within the selected bank.
If you press Store again, the display will ask "Are you sure?" (Press STORE).
Pressing Store will cause the currently running effect to be saved, as is, in the
location shown in the lower lefthand corner of the display. A brief message will
inform you that the effect is being stored, then the PCM 80 will revert to the mode
it was in before Store was pressed, with the newly-stored effect loaded.
When you store an effect, the following things are saved:
• Values of all Edit matrix parameters. This includes the initial values for any patch
destinations when Patch Update (Control mode 1.7) is set to Delayed.
• Soft Row parameter assignments.
• Value of ADJUST when the effect was stored.
• Last parameter selected when the effect was stored.
• Tempo Rate and BeatValue.
• Tap Duration and Average.
• ADJUST name.
• Effect name.
