Overview
The Lexicon PCM 80 is a complex device with an involved MIDI System Exclusive implementation. This
document describes the Version 1.10 PCM 80 MIDI implementation, and assumes familiarity with the
functions and operations of the PCM 80. MIDI Implementation information relevant to PCM 80 algorithm
cards, or to Version 1.00 software, is available in separate documents
The most substantial changes to MIDI implementation between Versions 1.00 and 1.10 are in the area
of effects and bank dumps. Although the data compression used in Verson 1.00 has been eliminated,
Version 1.10 will accept dumps in that format. The software version of any PCM 80 can be determined
using the MIDI Inquiry Message, described in Appendix C of this document.
Autoconfiguration
To aid development of editors and librarians which will remain useful through the lifetime of the PCM 80,
regardless of the addition of new algorithms, we have provided a number of new System Exclusive
messages that allow a librarian to autoconfigure when it encounters new algorithms. Messages which are
particularly useful in autoconfiguration are:
System Configuration Response
Parameter Specific Response
Parameter Display Response
Effect Information Response
Patch Display Response
Matrix Mapping Response
Soft Row Display Response
Data Request
Direction of Data Transfer
Types of System Exclusive Messages
There are several types of System Exclusive messages: Data Requests, Messages, Responses and Data
Dumps.
Data Requests A request is initiated by a remote device (never by a PCM 80). A request usually results
in a dump. A request for data causes no change in the state of the PCM 80.
Messages A message is sent by a remote device to a PCM 80. It is a command for which there is
no response, such as a knob message. It may cause a change in the state of the PCM
80.
Responses A response is a data packet that is sent from the PCM 80 to another device, always as
the result of a request by that device A response is never sent to the PCM 80 (It may
be harmlessly transmitted to a PCM 80, but results in no change in the PCM 80).

LexiconPCM 80 Version 1.10 MIDI Implementation Details
Data Dumps A dump contains information about some aspect of the PCM 80’s internal state. A dump
is transmitted by a PCM 80, eitheron request to another device, or to another PCM 80
(via front panel dump commands or SysEx Automation). When a dump is transmitted
to a PCM 80, it will normally cause a change in the internal state of the PCM 80. A dump
can also be purely informational, containing version information, etc. This sort of dump
may be received by a PCM 80 but results in no change. It is initiated only as the result
of an external request and may be considered as unidirectional.
Enabling System Exclusive Messages
The PCM 80 must be enabled via the front panel controls for receipt of System Exclusive messages. If
System Exclusive message receipt is not enabled, all System Exclusive messages are ignored. The
status of both the PCM 80 Memory Protect function and PCM 80 Pro and Go Edit modes are ignored when
System Exclusive is enabled.
ASCII Character Data
Many of the System Exclusive messages include ASCII character data. This refers to the values between
0x20 (space) and 0x7E (tilde). No other values should be used. Character fields should be padded with
spaces — the C NULL-terminator should not be used. When the PCM 80 receives an out-of-range value,
it will convert that value to a space. The small block character on the PCM 80 display (used to indicate
patch source/destination) is transmitted as a tilde. It is not possible to transmit this character to the PCM
80 via System Exclusive messages. The ASCII backslash character (0x5c) maps to the yen character
(¥)on the PCM 80 display.
Numeric Values
Any numeric values greater than one byte are transmitted from least-significant to most-significant.
Nibble-ized data
Some data (most importantly effect data) is transmitted in a nibble-ized format, i.e. each byte of data is
transmitted as a pair of bytes, with 4 bits of data in each byte. As in all other cases in the PCM 80, the lesssignificant portion of the byte is transmitted first.
Data Errors
The PCM 80 will display System Exclusive errors when it encounters any of a number of problems,
including checksum errors and early termination of a System Exclusive message (too few characters).
It will also report back to the sender of a System Exclusive message if it cannot fulfill a legally formatted
request. This covers situations such as bank-not-present, etc.
Timing Considerations
As some messages require significant time to process, System Exclusive information should not be sent
to the PCM 80 in bursts of more than 3 messages every 20ms. The individual message descriptions
presented later in this document note any specific time out requirements.

PCM 80 Version 1.10 MIDI Implementation Details
SysEx Automation
SysEx Automation is intended primarily for facilities using multiple PCM 80s in identical modes of
operation. This mode, which is enabled from the PCM 80 front panel, asumes that all units have the same
effects in the same locations and the same algorithm cards loaded, and that a single master unit front panel
is controlling all slaved units. (Only front panel operations are transmitted as SysEx automation
commands.) Ideally, the master’s Target ID (Control 3.4) should be set to All. The MIDI inputs of all slave
units must be connected directly to the master MIDI OUT. This requires a MIDI THRU box if there is more
than one slave. This is not an appropriate mode for effect editing.
The displays of the slaves do not necessarily track the display of the master, although the internal states
do. Although knob turns and button pushes are not transmitted, the actual parameter values are. This
guarantees that the slave units will be locked directly to the master values. The only exceptions to this are
the Tap, Compare and Bypass buttons, whose states are transmitted to the slaves because they change
the internal state of the device. The others are visual only.
Not all system parameters are transmitted by SysEx Automation. Those which are transmitted are listed
in Appendix E.
Other MIDI Implementation notes
MIDI Controller 32 is used for Bank Select. MIDI Controller 0 (normally the most significant bits of Bank
Select) is ignored.
Program Change messages may be lost if they are sent to the PCM 80 before previous Program Change
messages are completed. Controller Data may be sent at full MIDI speed, with no loss of data.

Note that as it is possible for a bank to be sparsely populated (for example, when a user has only a small
number of effects saved in bank 4 or 5) it is important to check the Flags byte for each effect. (See Single
Effect Data for a description of the Flags byte.)
Note also that for any effect to be successfully transmitted or received by the PCM 80, the supporting
algorithm must be present (not necessarily running) in the unit. Internal algorithms are always present,
whereas Card algorithms are only present if the card has been loaded. If an effects packet is transmitted
without the algorithm present, an error message is displayed on the screen. Such cases also cause
special formatting of the effects packet. See Single Effect Data for details.When an effects packet is
received without the algorithm present, an error message is displayed and the destination remains
unchanged.

0x0C Button Dump
This is bidirectional. Those buttons which are transmitted in SysEx automation mode are: Compare, Tap
and Bypass.

Button messages may be sent in quick succession (faster than 40ms) to mimic holds. For example,
sending Program Banks every 20ms for 1 second will cause the Help message for the key to be
displayed, just as if the key on the front panel were held down. Multiple key combinations can also be
sent by sending button messages in quick succession. For example, sending an Up message
immediately followed by a Down message causes the user interface to go to position 0.0 in the current
matrix, just as if the two buttons were pressed simultaneously.

The number of rows and columns is dependent on the current algorithm.
