At winter Namm 2005 Lexicon Pro announced the launch of the MX200 dual reverb/effects processor. This single rack-space, two-channel unit combines an intuitive front-panel design with an USB connection and VST interface for use with software recording platforms.
In the studio, engineers, producers and musicians no longer have to compromise between the instant control they enjoy with plug-in effects and the warm, complex depth of a dedicated hardware-based processor. The USB plug-in feature allows MX200 users to easily add legendary Lexicon effects to their computer-based recordings within the graphical interface that appears in the recording application like a plug-in, with full automation and recall features.
In live performance settings, the tactile senses will be satisfied as well, with the MX200's intuitive front panel design that indicates which two effects are active and provides independent control areas for each 24-bit processor. Three control knobs for each processor offer instant, precise and meaningful control over the most critical parameters for each effect. Users can choose two effects simultaneously in one of four routing modes: Mono Parallel; Mono Sum-to-Stereo; Stereo Serial; or Stereo Parallel. Other front panel controls include Input Level, Effects Mix, Balance, Audition (preview mode), Tap Tempo and Configuration. The unit provides ninety-nine factory presets and an additional 99 programmable slots that allow the user to make custom effects from dozens of effects types including halls, chambers, plates, slap and tape-type delays, dbx dynamics algorithms, and special effects like chorus, flange, tremolo and rotary.
