Description
For many people Lexicon is the definitive brand of digital reverb. Along with EMT, Lexicon dominated the market in the 1980s with a range of devices from the PCM70 to the legendary 480L. Lexicon subsequently developed their own proprietary digital reverb processor, the Lexichip, which allowed them to build cheaper, more compact effects processors such as the LXP range
The MRC was launched along with the effects-oriented LXP-5 and LXP-1 Reverb processor. It includes patches to edit all programs in the two units. It speaks fluent Midi so will dump & receive patches via Sysex. It’s designed to allow easy editing of parameters and, as it uses Midi to communicate, it can live remotely from the units. The MRC can also be used with the Lexicon PCM 70 and the LXP-15
This auction is for an MRC and power supply. I have an LXP-1 and LXP-5 combination in another auction
MRC
Free-standing Midi Remote Controller with four programmable faders, four programmable pushbuttons and dedicated buttons for editing & storing programs. This MRC has Version 4 software which is the last version available. Version 4 directly supports the LXP-1 & 5 and the LXP-15. Vesrion 3 supports the LXP-1 & 5 and the PCM 70
LXP-1
The LXP-1 is primarily a reverb processor and has a great range of reverb, room, ambience and gated reverb programs. In addition it has two chorus and two delay programs – see listing below. It has full Midi implementation which allows control of virtually all parameters. Lexicon dubs this “Dynamic Midi”
LXP-5
The LXP-5 is not just a reverb processor but combines reverb and effects programs. It has a wide variety of programs (see listing below). It has full Midi implementation which allows control of virtually all parameters. Lexicon dubs this “Dynamic Midi”
Technical (LXP-1 & LXP-5)
Stereo inputs & outputs are unbalanced on jack sockets and the unit works at a nominal +4 dBu level. The input will accept signals down to -25 dBu and signal presence / overload are shown on signal LEDs. A footswitch jack socket allows remote control of effect bypass, register steps or any on/off parameter. Midi In and Out / 11Thru are provided on standard 5-pin DIN sockets with an Out / Thru switch on the back panel. Power input is via an external 9 VAC power unit (supplied) which plugs into a standard UK mains socket
