The Presets

The PCM 80 has 200 factory-designed presets which are organized into four
banks of 50 each (labeled P0, P1, P2 and P3). Each bank is organized in a matrix
of 5 rows of 10. Press the front panel Program Banks button to display the first
bank. Press it again to switch to another bank. Simultaneously press Program
Banks
and either the Up or Down button to backstep through the banks. The
display will show the bank label and the matrix location, the preset name, and
the algorithm from which the effect is derived.

Turn SELECT to scroll through all of the presets in a bank in numerical order. Use
Up or Down to jump forward or backward by 10. Press Load/

to load any

displayed preset.

In the Program Banks mode (as in the Register Banks mode), ADJUST is a soft
knob. Each preset has one or more parameters patched to this knob, providing
a quick way to make useful changes to the effect. (A

symbol in the upper left

corner of the display indicates that the currently running effect has an ADJUST
knob patch.) When you turn ADJUST, the display will show the name assigned
to ADJUST, as well as the patch value. Continue turning ADJUST to alter the
patch value along its available range.

The program banks are organized as follows:

range of ADJUST knob control. This header is followed by a brief description
of the effect. For additional reference, at the end of this chapter is an
alphabetical list of the presets, with references to bank and matrix location.
