welcome to the unofficial Peavey PC1600™ & PC1600x™ user page

this site serves as a repository for patches, tips and techniques for these excellent machines...

pc1600 & pc1600x editors, librarians, etc...
PvC, the pc1600 and pc1600x virtual controller (PC) The original website is no longer active - this link is to an archived version of the site from March 2007. Also, the author of PvC, Kris Rhen, has given permission for a copy of his software to be distributed for free - see this archived forum post, and this one too. Also here's the software to download.
PC1600x editor by pete kvitek (PC)
PC1600v editor and emulator (Mac OS X)
JSynthLib librarian (other device support too, Multi-platform).The original website linked to above seems to have been hijacked. But the Internet Archive WayBackMachine seems to have an archive from the late 2000's with a link to the download, to screenshots, to documentation, and to devices supported). I also now see that there's a SourceForge page for it.
