Lexicon® FX PROCESSOR OVERVIEW
The effects within the console have been designed with both live sound reinforcement and home recording in mind. Featuring the deep, rich reverb algorithms that Lexicon® are renowned for the effects processor offers increased versatility and high quality effects, all instantly accessible via the extremely intuitive front panel controls. The effects processor has 32 programs which are held in two banks of 16 programs which can be stored to allow you to create your own custom effect settings.
Front panel controls include a Program Select knob, Tempo and Store buttons, and three independent Parameter knobs that provide instant access and control over the most critical parameters for the selected effect. The table on page 32 lists the functions of the Parameter knobs for each fx program.
Note: When the console is powered up the program recalled will always be the selected program in BANK A.

2.Set the FX send on the input channel to the 12 o’clock position.
3.Set the FX Master level to the 12 o’clock position. Set the EFFECTS Fader on the FX section to the fully down position.
4.Provide source signal (by speaking or singing into the microphone, playing guitar, keyboard, etc.) on the selected channel.
