Can you be more specific or elaborate on your observations a bit for us? Also, you mentioned above that:
"the algorithm developer has been developing reverbs at Lexicon for the better part of a few decades " who are you referring to?
When I listen to these I do not find these two versions of the same algo all that similar...
Listen to the stereo spread. What accounts for the narrow phasey tail in the PCM96?
As for the actual algo design, I find that the ringing in the PCM-70 is much more benign and shows better eigentone distribution than the PCM96. The PCM96 actually changes the chord voicing of the piano! This characteristic is present in ALL of the PCM96 algos, btw.
Why do we modulate taps and FB in the first place? To tame the runaways! The chorusing in the PCM-70 (and the 224) is magical and lovely. The PCM96 is cyclic, grindy and not very pretty. Combine the wooley ringy algos and unsatisfying modulation and we have... a commercial release from a major brand name?
Is there no 'there' there anymore?
