blackle « A machine out of time .. »
Published on 08/28/11 at 06:31Compared PMK 70, the overhaul is complete, both orders, the display, even as the design of algorithms. The PCM 80 includes a bar graph rather basic but adequate, double as Stereo, jumped by 6 dB to -24 dB 0. The display as it has two line of twenty characters MATRICS points each. It's much more comfortable than the PCM 70 ..
You can get in and out in numrique the PCM 80 via a pair of RCA, SPDIF-standard, I always wonder why Lexicon has not opt for the AES, much more reliable. This gap will be filled on the PCM 81. This pos Lexicon allows you to mix a source numrique with an analog source. Speaking of dernires, they jack in symtrique, and above all they are two, both 80 PCM Stereo Fully which the diffrence in the PCM 70. The outputs are of the same ilk in symtrie active, so no transformer. L I also wonder why Lexicon has not opt for the XLR connectors, and much more professional .. lockable. The PCM 81 still fill the gap ..
It automatically DTECT the number of inputs and outputs connected to the outside world and acts consquence, as, for example, between using the two with a single output will in mono. A single inverter, located between the input jacks, allows attnuer signal 20 dB. The asymtrisation signals, if singing does not pose a problem.
The PCM 80 mule programs that made the success of the 70 (Tiled Room, Wave Concert, Concert Hall, Vox Plate, Chamber Ritch, Ritch Plate, Locker Room, etc..), But it is far from the 43 programs effects of previous version, the PCM 80 possde 200 prslections thanks Designed ten new algorithms, the first five (Concert Hall, Plate, Chamber, Inverse and Infinite ) bnficiant four basic effects, for example, a detune rverb, and five others, Glide / Hall, Chorus + Reverb, M-Band + Beverb, Res1/Plate and res2 / Plate, which has six basic voice effects from overlap or follow the main effect, patches, either SERIES or by parallle, which offers many opportunities to do carrment not mean they are unlimited. These five algorithms are in fact multi-effect combinations ..
UTILIZATION
ACCs are user number to three, as the PCM 90/91, two machines since trs diffrent ACCS rverbrations 100%. The PCM 80 adapts to the needs and knowledge of its user, it can be, for those who do not remain only try each prselections (which would be a shame), which is the first dj level of use, a move deuxime level, more complex than prcdant and more INTERESTED. For even if the presets are still absolutely fantastic to be able to fully exploit it is necessary to customize and edit them so.
The troisime level is much more complex about him, can he used to act directly in the heart of the algorithms and the many internal patches (as in Eventide), which Confre machine flexibility use still quite rare .. a can be scary, but yet there is nothing really complicated in these manipulations on algorithms which indeed have names that lean, contradiction, image abstraction, simply a little time to get the maximum reach of this machine.
Lexicon Jam littralement the rack trs many possibilities, including the LFO prsence who benefitted from a waveform as varied as the sine, cosine, the square of sawtooth, pulse and triangle. Effects can also vary in level thanks a gnrateur envelope with as they should attack and relchement SETTING THE indpendamment 0 10 seconds. The list of possibilities is too long delay here in the dtails. Yet there is nothing really complex operation of this machine. We must give him time ..
SOUND QUALITY
The trs rverbes are good, but what is the most spectacular and really seizing this machine is the diversity and especially the effectiveness of other effects Submitted in it, including the Doppler even in Eventide is not as beautiful is to say .. Another highlight of the PMK 80, the Audio Morphing, which passes gradually from such a small room simulation stro an impressive simulation of sources in space perptuelles motion to pass anything to the auditor before the listener latralement, and out of a tunnel, a basement, by combining cohrente and settings of intensity modulations of time / phase, various filtering and Varis and altration height!
The auto panning and other tremolos are just as spectacular, the splendid chorus, and the effects of rsonance are always a power rarely gals today ..
OVERALL OPINION
A multi-effect still in the race despite his 16 years of so sound, and feel the effects several levels have remarkably Labors t! 3 years ago we sold our 81 PCM wrongly believing that it overlapped with our other machines effects, and a few months ago we bought the PCM 80, and it is clear that it remains a unique machine, countless opportunities to use and finally not so complex, even if the effects are rich in parameter.
The cot of this abundance of positive paramtres ditables is the total flexibility of the device. There always comes a laborer for an effect need prcis. However the cot ngatif is the difficulty sometimes feel the algorithm, and know how to act in a goal paramtre Determines. So, with the PCM 80, we may tend to fall back on the same, the easiest to understand, which is under-exploit the machine (as with the PCM 70).
Fortunately for the Premire uses the concept of advelopp Lexicon Soft Row, as in a CSTA PCM90/91 that provides fast ten Settings, which provides a way to go immediately essential. allows a tter of bte so to speak before a vertiginous plunge into the bowels of algorithms ..
Notice of a musician:
Beautiful! This device is essentially dvolu my keyboard, and replace my small small MPX 1 that does not compare, it is now and dj about to replace and most DEFINITIONS delight of my husband, my old Zoom 9010 that it is true, the PCM 80 cot, looks more like a Chinese head rchauffe-plat/casse that a multi-effect REALLY functional.
As my husband is a unique machine. Also I just bought the card Dual Fx, which enriched the PCM 80 algorithms from 25 made of two effect blocks Stereo, rverbration one of five, and one of five multi-effects also. With the added 250 presets all over gniaux and useful than others. Actually there are plenty that a good harmonizer, but no matter because even on the PCM 81 I did not use these effects.
As for using it is much simpler than one MPX despite possibility later in life. It is also simpler than our 70 PCM that I love for her, but I'm not far from the dtest in handling, I understand nothing! If you've read my opinion on the MPX 1 .. remember? I'm blonde! and I'm running out of "Cogitum".
As the PCM 91 I can even Defines me my own template and add shipping and paramtres Prior to that I chose and assign modulation sources to Midi and internal. In short, I amuse myself as a little crazy! Well we must say that even when I navigate in familiar territory, otherwise I would not fire me, because the use of a push Lexicon PCM wonder when even a healthy dose of patience. Having said that, in addition to the functions explained by my husband and FOR to approach the PCM 80 more comfortable, the manual contains all dj dtails important, including each algorithm corresponding diagrams, and descriptions of all programs, a wealth of information Whereas a swallow!
But it ncessaire ttonner under penalty of Russia and never get what you want. I became a real pro charts so the documentation is well done, thank you Mr. Lexicon!
Finally, you can not do without this fabulous palace of illusions that contributes so much life to my compositions, because as for the PCM 91 arrived this point of freedom of programming, the PCM 80 is more than gnrateur effect, has become a musical instrument from Entire!
