AES: Lexicon’s New Mid-Price FX Unit

Up to eight adjustable parameters (four program and four compressor) are available in each program. The digital compressor is available in all 240 programs, including the dual programs — simultaneously providing two effects and compression. A full range of MIDI control includes Program Change, MIDI bulk dump, and an easy Learn mode that allows MIDI patching of the front panel controls. In addition, tempo-controlled delays and modulation rates lock to Tap or MIDI Clock. Tap tempos are controllable by audio input, the front panel Tap button, dual footswitch, external MIDI controller or MIDI Program Change.

The MPX 200’s front panel features all key function controls including Input level, program Load, program Edit, Compressor, Store, multi-function Adjust, Bypass and tempo Tap. In addition, easy to read LED displays indicate Compression gain, Input level (L&R channels), Effects and Routing, Edit Parameters, program Load, MIDI, Store and tempo Tap.

Other features include 3-stage headroom indicators, 4-stage compressor indicators, inputs capable of accommodating musical instruments, headphone output, software-selectable MIDI OUT/THRU port, Cue program mode, pushbutton or footswitch selection of dry or muted audio output, assignable Bypass mode, Global Mix, Tempo and Compressor modes and a 20Hz-20kHz + 1dB frequency response. In addition, the MPX 200 has a built in power supply, eliminating the need for external power supplies.
