Now the PCM96 Surround unit is identified by the selected base channel,
and virtual machines 1, 2, 3, and 4 within the PCM96 Surround are identi-

Channel Usage Description
Base
Channel
System Level Use for loading System presets. This is the PCM96 unit’s base channel. The next four
channels apply to this PCM96 unit’s virtual machines.
Base + 1 Virtual machine 1 Changes parameters in one virtual machine in a System preset on the PCM96 unit
with base channel 0. Use for loading machine presets and changing parameters for
machine #1.
Base + 2 Virtual machine 2 Changes parameters in one virtual machine in a System preset on the PCM96 unit
with base channel 0. Use for loading machine presets and changing parameters for
machine #2.
Base + 3 Virtual machine 3 Changes parameters in one virtual machine in a System preset on the PCM96 unit
with base channel 0. Use for loading machine presets and changing parameters for
machine #3.
Base + 4 Virtual machine 4 Changes parameters in one virtual machine in a System preset on the PCM96 unit
with base channel 0. Use for loading machine presets and changing parameters for
machine #4.
bANK dUMP
The Bank Dump feature lets you copy all the presets in a User bank from
one PCM96 Surround to another (or to another MIDI device). Refer to the
MIDI Control section on page 24 for information about Bank Dump.
ReVeRSe bANK dUMP (bANK “LoAd”)
You can perform a “reverse bank dump” by recording a bank dump to your
MIDI sequencer, then playing that sysex back to the PCM96 Surround to
restore the bank.

All PCM96 Surround soft row parameters can be controlled with single,
7-bit controllers. Each parameter is controlled with the full controller range,
regardless of the parameter range. For example, if the controller is at the
midpoint of its range (64), the parameter will also be at the midpoint of its
range no matter what the actual number.
Continuous Controllers range from 0 to 127. If the parameter range is less
than 127, then a small controller change might not result in a parameter
update. But the entire range of the parameter can still be accurately con-
trolled. In addition, if the actual range of the parameter is greater than 127,
MIDI control might be somewhat coarse. This is most noticeable with large
delays.
When MIDI is enabled, the PCM96 Surround automatically sends MIDI
messages through the MIDI Out port for soft row parameters and preset
