  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the PCM 90 Dual Rvb Algorithm Card. Dual Rvb processing adds powerful split reverb control to the control capabilities of the PCM 90. The Dual Rvb algorithms offer superb dual reverb and cascade configured stereo effects.
  • Page 5 The Presets The PCM 90 Dual Rvb card contains a built-in library of 200 preset programs that provide a completely new assortment of exciting and useful sounds. As in the PCM 90, the presets are organized into banks of 50, and functionally grouped Dual Rvb Card Banks for a wide range of applications.

  • Page 6: Dual Rvb Card Operation

    Handling the The Dual Rvb Algorithm Card is a standard PC card designed to be used with the Lexicon PCM 90 (Version 1.01 or higher). Care and handling of the card, as Algorithm Card well as some routine precautions are noted here. Please review these before using the card to avoid damage to the card, as well as error states in the PCM 90.
  • Page 7 PCM 90 Dual Rvb User Guide Lexicon MIDI SysEx register dumps require that the algorithm card used to create the effect(s) be loaded. Be aware that, if you create a bank of registers with effects created from both internal algorithms and the algorithm card, you will need to perform separate SysEx dumps for the card registers and the internal registers.

  • Page 8: Loading The Dual Rvb Algorithms

    Dual Rvb Card Operation Loading the Dual Rvb In order to run the Dual Rvb algorithms, the software must be loaded into the Algorithms PCM 90’s “extension” memory. To do this: If the PCM 90 is turned off: Insert the Dual Rvb algorithm card into the PC card slot. Power up the PCM 90.

  • Page 9: Loading The Dual Rvb Presets

    PCM 90 Dual Rvb User Guide Lexicon Loading the Dual Rvb Presets Once the software is loaded, the PCM 90 will have access to the additional program banks available on the algorithm card. These extension memory banks are labeled with an X.

  • Page 10: New Parameters

    The Algorithms and Their Parameters The Algorithms and The PCM 90 Dual Reverb Card uses four reverb algorithms to produce six Dual Mono, and four Cascade effects. Each of the algorithms and its associated Their Parameters parameter matrix is presented in this section. New Parameters The parameters for the Dual Rvb algorithms are identical to those in the PCM 90 with the following additions and exceptions:...

  • Page 11: The Reverb Blocks

    PCM 90 Dual Rvb User Guide Lexicon The Reverb Blocks Chamber This algorithm is identical to the Chamber algorithm in the PCM 90. It produces an even, relatively dimensionless reverberation, with little change in color as the sound decays. The initial diffusion is similar to the PCM 90 Concert Hall algorithm, but the sense of size and space is much less obvious.

  • Page 12: Room2

    The Algorithms and Their Parameters This algorithm is a variation of the Room algorithm in the PCM 90 with different Room2 Shape and Spread characteristics, and an overall higher gain. This algorithm provides an excellent simulation of a very small room which is useful for dialog and voiceover applications, but which may be too colored for some sustained musical tones.
