Bank Dump

Lets you copy an entire bank of presets from the PCM96 to another device via MIDI. (For a map of banks and presets, see page 29; to see the current preset’s bank number, press Knob C while viewing the Preset screen.) When Bank Dump is highlighted, turn the corresponding B or C Knob to select a bank. Press the corresponding B or C Knob to send the bank to the connected device.

Tempo Control

The Tempo Control sub-menu contains the following options:

Tempo Value

Set the current preset’s tempo here by turning Knob A, or by pressing the Tap Tempo button at least two times.

Tempo Beat

Tempo is expressed in BPM. This control allows you to specify the value of the beat. Eighth, quarter, and half note values are available. If, for exam- ple, the rate is 120 BPM, and you select eighth-note here, the tempo will be 120 eighth-notes per minute. If you select quarter-note here, the tempo will be 120 quarter-notes per minute. (The factory default is quarter-note.)

Tempo Source

Select INTERNAL to determine the tempo using parameters within the PCM96, or MIDI to set the tempo using MIDI beat clock. Refer to your DAW’s manual to learn how to transmit this value.

Card Config

The Compact Flash Setup sub-menu indicates whether a Compact Flash card is INSERTED or NOT INSERTED, and gives you the options to Format (erase) the inserted card by pressing Knob B, or initializing the inserted card by pressing Knob C.

Network Config

Here you can set the PCM96 Subnet Mask, IP Address, Gateway, and DHCP information. Turn the Select knob to select a three-digit number (of the DHCP value) and turn Knob A to change the number (or the DHCP value). See the Networking section on page 19 for more details.

HiQnet Config

Set the HiQnet Negotiation Mode (Static, Random, or Sequential) and Node Address here. Turn the Select knob to underscore a value and turn Knob A to change the value.

Restore Factory Defaults

Returns the PCM96 to its original state as shipped from the factory.
