The PCM 70 Ver 2 & Ver 3 have completely different Preset Registers. Many upgraded to Ver 3 to gain the Inverse Room algorithm but lost the coveted Ver 2 Preset Registers in the process.
These are the SysEx register dumps from both Ver 2 & 3 for all to enjoy.

Use a SysEx utilty to send them to the PCM 70 Registers.
Great! Now everyone can have the best out of their Pcm-70 (Y)

@Neil: Right-click on the link and click “Save link as” in Firefox, or look for an equivalent for your browser.
Question: So am I to understand it is possible to have both groups of presets at the same time in the same unit? or do I have to overwrite presets every time I want to change versions?
Even if that’s the case, thanks a lot for publishing the dumps !!

Yes. These just update the user registers.
please could someone explain exactly how to make the pcm 70 with version 3 get the version 2 registers in detail using these sysex?
Open the sysex file in a standard sysex sending application, (if you’re on a Mac try “Sysex librarian”), then simply play the sysex file thru midi into the PCM-70. The PCM-70 display will flash and say “recieving registers” or something like that, and when the transfer is done the version 2 presets will be in the user register.
Hi.Trying to download the v2 registers to my v3 PCM 70.
I’ve got this all set up according to the instructions, but can’t get the PCM 70 to respond the midi message being sent. Is there a particular way the PCM 70 must be set up to receive the new registers?
What are you using to send the sysex file?
Thanks for the reply.
Sending it via Mac Pro Tower with the Sysex Librarian. I have the v2 registers loaded up in the Librarian.
Im using an M Audio USB to Midi connection I just bought as a midi cable. When I hit “play” in Sysex librarian, it seems to send the register correctly because a progress bar rolls across the screen for 10 seconds or so. Also, there is a module hub in the middle of the midi cord and a light starts blinking after I hit “play” in Sysex Librarian. However, I never get any response from the PCM 70.
need to make sure that the mem protect is turned off & it’s set to receive sysex. http://www.lexiconpro.com/legacy_product_list.php?category=10#131
How do I set up the PCM 70 to receive sysex? I can’t find it in the manual or missed it…
Okay, I muscled my way thru the manual again and got it figured out this time. Easy as pie once I found the right instructions.
Tiled room is the shit. Thanks for your replies!
Hi, excuse me for my rusty english but I’m Italian and I need your help:
I have a PCM 70 ver2 by the previous owner upgraded to ver3 with three EPROM 3.0.
Now I would like to reset register to ver2 and I’d like to know step by step procedure to use to return to version 2 without having to replace the eprom again.
I’m a bit ‘worried because I would not miss any step and do some damage.
I use window pc but if it needs I can try to do it on a mac of my friend.
Thank you already now anyone who wants to help
