LEXICON LXP-1 DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR

LEXICON LXP-5 DIGITAL EFFECTS PROCESSOR

The LXP-1 and LXP-5 are LexiconUs most cost-effective digital effects processors. Each one has a distinct personality and magnificent sound. When combined, they fill a single rack space with a spectacular array of sonic capabilities and tremendous MIDI effects control.

Lexicon was the first company to bring digital audio technology

to musicians, engineers, and producers more than 20 years ago. Since then, we have developed a world-wide reputation for excellence in digital audio technology. ItUs called the Lexicon Sound, and today it is

recognized as the best in the world. YouUll find the Lexicon Sound in abundance in the LXP-1 and LXP-5.

LXP-l: Simply Sophisticated

The front panel of the LXP-1 does not reveal its sophisticated nature. From this simple array of controls you have access to 16 different effects programs, each with two variable parameters for a total of 256 variations per effect.

Ten of the programs are blends of reverberation and delay, and six provide effects combinations, including reverse and gated reverb, flanging, chromatic resonance, multi-tap delay, and a mixture of delay and chorusing. The LXP-1 provides more than 4,000 different effectsQall available from three simple controls, without the need for MIDI.

By adding any MIDI control device such as a keyboard or sequencer, the LXP-1 gives you two more ways to control its effects. First, you can store and access your custom sounds in 128 non-volatile memories by associating them with a MIDI Program Change command.

WhatUs more, you can exploit LexiconUs Dynamic MIDI, which lets you modulate processing parameters in real time by patching them to MIDI controls such as Note Number, Modulation Wheel, and Pitch Bender.

Even more control is available with MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages and LexiconUs MRC MIDI Remote Controller or a personal computer and software. SysEx transforms the LXP-1 into a powerhouse that lets you create thousands of variations of each type of effect. In addition, SysEx lets you access up to six additional program parameters in the LXP-1 that are not available from the front panel.

Simple, but extremely sophisticated. ThatUs the LXP-1.

LXP-5: Creative Flexibility

The LXP-5Us algorithms allow you to combine mono delay, three octaves of pitch shifting, stereo delay, EQ, and reverb to create wonderfully complex effects up to five layers deep. Its 128 presets give you a sampling of some of the possibilitiesQpanoramic stereo delays with dense ambience, thick flowing choruses that echo into the distance, and washes of arpeggiated notes, bouncing into reverb.

The LXP-5 lets you access and edit every one of its effects parameters from the front panel in real time without an external controller. You can also store up to 128 of your own effects in the LXP-5Us user memories for instant access to custom sounds.

Complex layered effects and immense creative flexibility make the LXP-5 an essential component of any production or performance. ItUs the perfect complement to the LXP-1.

A True Multi-Effects System

When you link the LXP-1 and LXP-5 via MIDI with LexiconUs MRC MIDI Remote Controller, you have a true networked multi-effects environment. We call it the Lexicon LXP Series Effects System. They provide two independent processors with separate inputs and outputs that can be assigned to anything you want, along with comprehensive MIDI remote control and effects programming of up to 16 LXP Series Processors or other MIDI devices.

There is simply no other networked effects system that delivers true multi-effects performance, a full spectrum of superb sounds, and such flexible MIDI control in this price rangeQ or anywhere near it.
