Thanks for purchasing the Lexicon LXP Native Reverb bundle. The LXP Native Reverb Bundle offers four algorithm based plug-ins along with over 220 of the most versatile and finely-crafted studio presets that are sure to change the way that you color your mix.
In this video, we will be going over the interface and parameters of this plugin bundle. The bundle offers four algorithm-based plugins: Chamber, Hall, Plate, and Room. While there are 4 separate plugins to choose from, the interface remains identical.
Let’s take a look at the LXP Chamber plugin.
Starting at the top, we have the category and preset selectors. Presets for the algorithms are grouped into categories to make them easier to find. Each of these categories will feature different presets shown in the preset selector.
The level meters display the input and output levels of any signal going through the LXP plugins.
To the right of the level meters are the control buttons. The Store button will store the current parameters as a preset. The compare button will let you compare any changes you’ve made against the original settings of the preset. The reload button will let you immediately reload the original parameter settings of the preset.
Next, is the Realtime display. Clicking through the Realtime display, you will notice three different visual ways to see your reverb. A multiband of five frequency bands, a traditional RTA image with lows on the left, and the signal as an impulse response.
Below this, we have the Parameter knobs. This row can show up to 6 parameters at a time. You can adjust their values by click-and-drag, mousewheel scrolling, or double-clicking the number above the knob and typing.
At the bottom of the plugin window, we have the navigation buttons. Click on a Navigation Button to bring up a different set of parameter knobs. Every set of navigation buttons starts with the soft row.
The Soft Row is a set of parameters that are considered to be the most useful parameters for a particular preset. For most people, the Soft Row parameters are all that’s needed to achieve a great reverb sound.
The soft row assignments can be changed and even saved to user presets. If you would like to change the parameters that are assigned to the soft row, then you can use the soft row assignment buttons. To do this - click the Soft Row Assignment Button for the parameter you’d like to change. And then from the list, choose the new parameter you want to appear in the Soft Row.
