Lexicon PCM80 #4078 (Used)

The Lexicon PCM 80 contains a built-in library of 200 preset programs that provide a comprehensive array of effects ranging from beautiful and lush to completely wild. The presets are organized into 4 Banks of 50, and functionally grouped for a wide range of applications. Every preset has one or more of its parameters patched to the front panel ADJUST knob, giving you instant control over the primary aspect of the effect - without going into Edit mode.

The PCM 80 uses 10 stereo algorithms to create different types of effects. Each
algorithm includes an uncompromised stereo reverb effect, as well as several
voices of additional stereo effects. All PCM 80 algorithms include several parameters that make it possible to create dynamic spatialization effects for 2-channel or surround applications.

The PCM 80 gives you a unique set of tempo controls.Tempos can be tapped
in with the front panel Tap button (or an assigned controller) or “dialed-in”, in
BPM (beats per minute) on the display. The PCM 80 also lets you generate MIDI
clock from your tempo, as well as receive MIDI tempo from an external
sequencer or drum machine. In the PCM 80, tempo can control LFO speeds and
Time Switch controls, as well as all delay parameters, ensuring that all of your
modulations are in tempo with your music. You can even set independent
rhythmic values for different parameters within a single program.

An enormous range of editing control is provided for each algorithm, with
parameters organized in an edit matrix of as many as 100 main controls. The PCM 80 also allows you to customize these controls, or to use a subset of controls specially designed for each preset.

A unique Patching and Modulation system provides unprecedented control over your effects, with a versatile set of internal modulators: LFO, AR Envelope,
Envelope Follower, Latch and Time Switches. These allow you to create
modulation sweeps which move in time with music, or wildly animated effects.
You can create as many as 10 patches per effect, each with as many as 8 pivot
points. You can patch multiple parameters to a single controller, or patch
multiple sources to a single destination.

The front panel memory slot will accept industry standard PCMCIA SRAM cards
(up to 1Meg). Use these cards to store effects (as many as 2350 on a 1 Meg
card), system setups, MIDI program maps, and more.

PCM 80 internal audio memory can be expanded from a maximum stereo delay
time of 2.6 seconds to more than 42 seconds by installing 4Meg memory
modules (SIMMs).
