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.

  3. @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.

  4. 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.
