Lexicon

2.5

Plate4 Horns

ADJUST: Impact

0–100

Bright and percussive for those horn tracks needing that certain edge. Use ADJUST to modify the attack and release characteristics.

2.6 Alley SlapADJUST: Pre Delay 0–100

Great for any punctuated sound source — vocals, guitars, anything. Use ADJUST to match the delay to the music.

2.7 Drum GateADJUST: Duration 0–70

This inverse gated preset is low on diffusion and high on attitude. Made for drums and other high impact sources. ADJUST controls the duration of the effect.

2.8

Slope Down

ADJUST: Duration

0–100

Very inverse sounding effect. ADJUST varies the length of the slope. The AR Envelope, triggered by mono level, cranks in a downward spiraling pitch shift. Unearthly on voices.

2.9

BigBoomRoom

ADJUST: BoomKnob

0–36

The Envelope followers glide the left and right post delays giving a strong modulation effect to the reverb tail. ADJUST adds more or less boom. Use on punchy low frequency sound sources.

3.0 Whammy HallADJUST: Decay0–30

If your guitar doesn’t have a whammy bar, it does now. The AR generator is triggered from the mono level source. The AR generator is then attached to the LFO depth which drives the two Post Delays after the reverb. The Release constant is set rather long so that the depth reaches full scale after 2.2 seconds. ADJUST sets the reverb time.

3.1 JetChamberADJUST: Jet Knob 0–127

A big chamber reverb with stereo flanging on the outputs. Use ADJUST to set the amount of “whoosh.” The rate of the flange is controlled by the LFO. You’ll find it in the Soft Row along with the essential reverb parameters.

3.2 EnvChamberADJUST: Jet Knob 0–127

Similar to JetChamber, but here flanging is controlled by input level. The flange effect is most prominent when the input level drops. This lets you process drums with little or no reverb flanging while they are active, but individual hits and fills will have pronounced flanging during the reverb tail. This also works well with a variety of sources including acoustic guitar and piano.

3.3

Wizz and Wazz

ADJUST: Decay

0–127

This tempo driven effect has delays that whiz from left to right. FX Mix is also linked to tempo, going slowly from delays to reverb, then abruptly back to delays. ADJUST controls reverb decay.

3.4

Sci Fi

ADJUST: Wiggle

0–127

This preset uses an LFO modulated reverb for its basic effect. ADJUST controls the depth of the modulation. It will put a big spacious halo around unpitched sources, like drums. Lower settings of ADJUST will work best with pitched sources, although higher settings can yield some interesting sound effects. (Listen to a high piano note with ADJUST at about 100 –definite science fiction material!)

3.5

Wobble Plate

ADJUST: Wobble

0–30

A different type of chorus plate. ADJUST controls glide response.
