But the idea of being able to control it from the screen and edit and load like a plugin, sounds great to me. I use my unit with a console, and because it lacks an LCD, I just use it for one or two basic effects most of the time. I found that the high end unit really had the edge only with the huge reverbs with really long tails (and I can't say I need that sound that often anyway). And for the money I have been quite impressed with the quality of the low end Lexicons compared to the high end. I am also quite fond of their chorus effects. You do need to get in there and tweak a bit with a Lexicon, but I did that I have a couple of basic reverbs that I use regularly.
And I also used to own an Alesis Quadraverb (which like you say has some fun delays and stuff), but I could never stand the sound of it again once I got my first Lexicon. Even the low end Lexicons sound better than almost any reverb plugin. I just love the sound of Lexicon reverbs, and I have never heard any reverb plugin that I like as much (with the exception of perhaps some convolution reverbs like Altiverb). And I have also owned a high end Lexicon unit (300).įor me, I it's all about sound quality. I also have Lexicon reverbs build into my digital console. I don't own the MX200, but I do own a Lexicon MPX-100 that I use all the time. My Powerbook could use a hand and not a CPU hit. I feel that the Lexicon as an AU will come in handy, especially when tracking singers remotely (reverb in phones).
I'm also gun-shy about running it outside of the box due to latency etc, although I know that in the case of reverb that I'm just increasing pre-delay. I've hesitated selling it on eBay because it looks like it was through a war. I'm not fond of the reverb sounds in this unit but loved it's delays when I was not using a computer to record. I have an old Alesis Quadraverb 2.0 that's been sitting around unused. Wondering how this unit compares to other Lexicon reverbs. I am a bit skeptical concerning how this unit sounds, although I personally liked the way that the Lexicon MPX550 sounded when I used it a few yrs back. Obviously a good sounding hardware reverb for $199 or less that can be configured as a plug-in is attractive. This is the unit that enables you to use it as an AU plug-in for out of the box processing power.
