"available" means that this location is empty. If an effect is stored at this location, its name will appear here.

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.

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.
