P8 Constant
Density Plate A
In naturally occurring reverb, new reflections are continuously added to the
decaying sound over time. This sonic build-up increases density and colora-
tion in the reverb tail. P8 Constant Density Plate A has high initial density and
coloration (giving a “plate” type of sound), however the density does not in-
crease over time and remains inherently constant. This can result in less
“swoosh” in the reverb tail and provides another creative option. Decay Op-
timization and true stereo input are unavailable in this program (inputs are al-
ways summed to mono, even in stereo-in/stereo-out configurations).
P9 Chorus A The Chorus A program is an eight-voice chorus with four voices on each ste-
reo channel. Each voice has a time delay which varies randomly and inde-
pendently, resulting in a thick, rich sound.
When Chorus is active, each of the first four sliders controls the gain level for
a stereo pair of voices. The sliders are linear faders, not log faders, so the de-
fault positions of all four sliders (about 1/2 way up) correspond to gains 6 dB
below maximum.
The first two voice pairs have overlapping delay ranges. Phasing/flanging ef-
fects can be achieved by setting their gains to similar levels. Phasing/flanging
can also be achieved (with a mono or centered input) when the left and right
channels are mixed together, such as when used in a mono-in/mono-out con-
figuration.
The Diffusion control is active in this program. Diffusion acts upon the third
and fourth pair of stereo voices, producing a cluster of tightly spaced echoes
whose shape is governed by the Diffusion control. The Lexicon 224 is one of
the few processors that has diffusion on chorus voices; this feature is a pri-
mary factor in its distinctive character.
Note: The Bass, Mid, Crossover, and Treble Decay behaviors are unavail-
able in P9 Chorus A. Instead, each of these sliders controls the level of a ste-
reo voice pair.
MIMO Program
Outputs
When Lexicon 224 is used in a mono-in/mono-out (“MIMO”) configuration,
the hardware outputs that are used for the plug-in are listed in T
able 17 on
page 204. These software assignments are per the guidelines in the original
hardware manual and cannot be modified.
