LEXICON DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR
V3.0

The PCM70 is one of Lexicon's finest and most enduring digital effects processors with a
distinct personality and magnificent sound. The PCM70 is an industry
standard found in all the best studios and often specified as first choice
on equipment riders. The PCM70 features
a spectacular depth of sonic capabilities and tremendous MIDI effects
control, although its presets offer classic Lexicon effects with a few
easy button pushes.
Simply Sophisticated
The front panel of the PCM70 does not reveal its sophisticated nature. From this simple
array of controls you have access to over 40 preset effects, 50 user
registers and 70 variable parameters.
The programs include reverberation, delay, effects combinations including reverse and gated reverb, flanging,
chorus, multi-tap
delay, spin, circular, pan, filters and a mixture of delay and chorusing.
By adding any MIDI control device such as a keyboard or sequencer, the PCM70 gives you two
more ways to control its effects. First, you can store and access your custom sounds in
50 non-volatile registers by associating them with a MIDI Program Change command.
What's more, you can exploit Lexicon's Dynamic MIDI, which lets you modulate
up to 10 parameters in real time by patching them to MIDI controls such as Note Number, Modulation
Wheel, and Pitch Bender.
"Some
things in life go on and on and on and
on and… (including me, I hear you
mutter…). One such piece of audio kit is
the ubiquitous Lexicon PCM70. There
isn’t a top engineer in the world who
doesn’t know these little beauties
backwards, and most own at least one.
From rich vocal reverbs to phased
keyboard washes to echoes and delays,
the PCM70 is in truth a versatile
multieffect rather than merely a reverb,
although the algorithms are awesome, as
is the sound (hardly surprising as it
used the same converters as the classic
480L).
The PCM70 was discontinued because it
was too expensive to make rather than
because demand dropped. It is of the
generation of Lexicons that become a
part of the sound rather than flirting
around the edges, and as such can be
used on almost any signal that need
short to medium reverbs (and by medium,
I mean a darn site longer than many so
called mainframes offer). It’s a little
gem, and one that will never go out of
fashion. If you’ve got one, you know
where I’m coming from. If not, you have
a rare treat in store".
