Lexicon PCM 80 manual About Sources

PCM 80 User Guide Lexicon

Patching Patching is the ability to assign a control (Source) to any PCM 80 parameter (Destination). This allows you to alter the value of the parameter by manipulating the control Source. For example, you can select the front panel ADJUST knob as a Source and an effect's Mix parameter as a Destination. This simple patch will allow you to dynamically alter the mix of the effect whenever you turn ADJUST. You can create as many as 10 patches, each with as many as 8 pairs of pivot points. You can patch multiple parameters to a single controller, or patch multiple Sources to a single Destination.

About Sources	All Sources are the same in the sense that each generates an output value in the
	range of 0-127. The output value is used to increase or decrease the setting of
	a Destination parameter. Sources differ in the manner in which they generate an
	output. Some generate values continuously (they’re always “on”); some gener-
	ate output based on the position of a particular external MIDI controller, or an
	external footpedal, or footswitch. Some Sources generate output based on
	aspects of physical performance such as how loud, how fast, or how hard you
	play. The PCM 80 allows you to choose from a selection of Sources as shown
	for each Destination. A list of the available Sources is shown on the following
	page.
The Patch Row	Each PCM 80 effect has an identical Patch row at the end of its Edit matrix where
	you can make as many as 10 patches.
	To make a patch, use SELECT and the Down button to move down through the
	Edit matrix to the Patch row. A display such as the following will appear.
