System Presets and Machine Presets

The PCM96 Surround 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 signal 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. (Note that System Presets are not available in the PCM96 Surround plug-in. See page 15 for more information about the plug-in.)

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.
