Lexicon PCM 80 manual Rhythmic Echo and Delay Effects, P1 0.0 – P1 3.6 contd

The Presets

0.7 Sliding EkoADJUST: Slide It! 0–100

This stereo delay effect lets you dial in the perfect “feel” to match the moment. Two echoes are produced. One is fixed on the beat. The other can be slid in musical time anywhere in front of or behind the beat by turning ADJUST. 0-49 = in front of the beat, 50 = on the beat, 51–100 = behind the beat. Of course, the Soft Row contains additional controls for fine tuning the effect.

Rhythmic Echo and Delay Effects

(P1 0.0 – P1 3.6) cont'd.

0.8 Six Trips ADJUST: EchoSlope 0–127

Rhythmic delay voices produce a six note triplet pattern. Each repeat gets progressively louder. ADJUST controls the slope of the first six repeats. 0 = loud to soft (normal echoes), 64 = six repeats of equal loudness, 127 = soft to loud (reversed echoes).

0.9 6 StrokeRollADJUST: Attack 0–127

Turn a single drum hit into a six-stroke roll with this effect. ADJUST controls the attack of the first five repeats. 0 = loud to soft (normal echoes), 64 = five repeats of equal loudness, 127 = soft to loud (reversed echoes).

1.0 TapGated Rvb ADJUST: Gate dB 0–85

This effect uses a tempo-controlled LFO as a rhythmic gate to the inputs of a large stereo chamber. The gate is opened every other beat for a duration of one eighth-note. Use this to add reverb to selected beats of a stereo source. (Try this one synchronized to MIDI with a drum machine as a source.) ADJUST controls the input levels in dB to the reverb when the gate is closed. 0 = always open (0dB), 85 = fully closed (-85dB). The Soft Row includes the LFO parameters so you can adjust the overall timing of the gate.

1.1 TapEkoGate 1ADJUST: GateWidth 0–127

This effect uses a tempo-controlled LFO as a rhythmic gate to the inputs of a delay and reverb combination. The gate is opened once every four beats for a duration of one eighth- note. ADJUST determines the portion of the four beats in which the gate is open. 0 = open for all four beats, 127 = open for only the first 16th note of four beats. The Soft Row includes the LFO parameters so you can adjust the overall timing of the gate.

1.2 TapEkoGate 2 ADJUST: GateWidth 0–127

This is a variation of TapEkoGate 1 with different echo rhythms. ADJUST determines the portion of the four beats in which the gate is open. 0 = open four all four beats, 127 = open for only the first 16th note of four beats. The Soft Row includes the LFO parameters so you can adjust the overall timing of the gate.

1.3 TapEkoClearADJUST: GateWidth 0–127

This preset is similar to the two TapEkoGate presets, except that the rhythmic gate is also patched to clear the delay voices when it opens. This allows very high delay feedback values to be used without creating long echo trails. ADJUST determines the portion of the four beats in which the gate is open. 0 = open for all four beats, 127 = open for only the first 16th note of four beats. The Soft Row includes the LFO parameters so you can adjust the overall timing of the gate.

1.4 Tap Chamber1ADJUST: Width0–90

This preset is a tempo controlled variation of SnareChamber. The effect is a tight chamber with liveness that is constantly changing. The change is tempo controlled. Press Tap to synchronize it to the beat. ADJUST controls the width of the reverb within the overall stereo image of the effect (0 = mono, 45 = stereo, 90 = surround). Use this to open up sampled drum mixes.

1.5 Tap Chamber2 ADJUST: Decay 0–127

This is a version of Vox Chamber with a rhythmic twist. The width of the reverb, within the overall stereo image of the effect, is changed rhythmically by Sw 1. This change is tempo controlled. Press Tap twice to synchronize to the beat. ADJUST controls reverb decay.
