From Lexicon
The Lexicon PCM 70 has become something of a legend of late, with good examples selling for the same money or more, than what they sold for when new. It is ironic really...when the Lexicon PCM 70 was released everyone said it was not a 'real' Lexicon. While it may not be a 224X, released the same year, it does offer a taste of the Lexicon sound.
The Lexicon PCM 70 Digital Effects Processor gives you access to the same astonishing digital effects used by the world's top artists and studios - all in a compact single-space rack mount unit.
The Lexicon PCM 70 offers more than 40 digital effects and reverb programs, including chorus and echo, resonant chords, multiband delays, rich chamber, rich plate, and concert hall. Add to these the 50 programs you can create and store in user registers, and you have instant access to more than 90 programs.
If creative control is what you are after, more than 70 different parameter types can be edited to produce just the sound you need. Everything from delay times to feedback, filters, panning, and early reflections.
Great sounds are only half the story. The Lexicon PCM 70 introduces revolutionary MIDI capabilities that will change forever the way the world uses effects. Lexicon's Dynamic MIDI gives you real-time remote control over up to ten different parameters at the same time from a MIDI keyboard or sequencer.
You can patch any effects or reverb parameter to any variable MIDI controller on your synthesiser-modulation wheel, pitch wheel, data entry slider, sustain switch, and others. You can also patch parameters to vary with MIDI events like key velocity, pressure, or aftertouch.

If you have a sequencer, control changes sent to the Lexicon PCM 70 from your keyboard or controller can be recorded and repeated perfectly-every time. A corresponding register feature lets you choose effects or reverb programs remotely, from sequencers, synthesisers, and other MIDI devices. To top it all off, an innovative and uncomplicated user interface ensures that you can access all of this power quickly and easily.
These features give the Lexicon PCM 70 capabilities far beyond any other effects processor available, at the time. However, the Yamaha SPX90 was hot on its heels for less money, but the Lexicon PCM70 did find it's place in the studio's of musicians with deeper pockets.
