Lexicon has announced the release of software update version 3.0.0.7 for the PCM96 (Mac Only).

Featuring a wide array of rich, complex reverb algorithms with related delays and effects, the single rack-space PCM96 integrates seamlessly into the modern studio as a control-only DAW insert or FireWire streaming hardware plug-in. Included in the software update is a new set of pitch shift algorithms. They support both practical shifting and shifting for special effects. The new VSO Pitch algorithm can be used to help bring a choir up to pitch or to correct the pitch shift created by common video conversions, all while maintaining a solid stereo image. It offers the user enhanced control through the ability to raise or lower the pitch of a voiceover or dialog track. New Multivoice Pitch algorithms combine multiple shifters with Lexicon's powerful delay architecture to create climbing pitch ladders, shifted echoes, voice doublers, along with many other effects. Additionally, the software update provides plug-in compatibility for Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo.
