Basic Operation

The PCM 80 provides a wide range of control over an extraordinary set of reverb and modulation effects. All of the controls are easily accessed from the front panel and are described in detail in this section.

The PCM 80 has five basic modes of operation, each of which is selected by Modes of Operation pressing a front panel button (Program Banks, Register Banks, Edit, Control

and Tempo). Each of these first four mode buttons has an LED which lights when the mode is active. The Tempo LED (unless you elect to have this function turned off) flashes the current tempo. When Tempo mode is active, no other mode LEDs will be lighted.

The PCM 80 is always operating in one of these modes.

Here, the lighted LED indicates that Control mode is active.

The five mode buttons give you the first level of access to all of the functions and parameters in the PCM 80.

•Press Program Banks repeatedly to access four banks of factory preset programs. Each bank contains 50 programs.

•Press Register Banks to access a bank of 50 memory locations, called registers, where you can store your customized effects. Memory cards can be used for storage of additional banks of registers. When a formatted memory card containing stored registers is inserted, pressing Register Banks repeatedly will cycle through all of the available register banks.

•Press Edit to access all of the available parameters for the currently running effect.

•Press Control to select system parameters, MIDI, card formatting, etc.

•Press Tempo to set tempo-related values that affect the delay time and LFO rate parameters of the currently-running effect. This is an exciting feature which is unique to the PCM 80, and which will be described in detail later in this chapter.
