I'd interpret that as generalisation of all FX/units. Same as for example "Virtual analogs like Virus can produce good leads"... This is niggling.

Yes...but we are good at it here :)

Ok, I have an MPX-550. It's NOT that great. Better than what's onboard the Virus, but it's still not that great. For the same price, check out the TC-Electronic M-ONE XL. Much better sounding algorithms...

id save some more $$$ and get the next lexicon up - the MPX-1.
dual dsp processing allows for one chip dedicated to reverb (and lexicon can do reverb) and the other chip dedicated to delay and modulation fx.

Hehehe, just had to pop in and say tooshay. I should also add, I have no idea how to spell tooshay.

Now a little on topic....

I do like the Virus verb, but in places that I wouldn't use a dedicated reverb unit. For example the bass in my track "Ugliop" is the Virus. The tail sound in that bass is a delayed Virus reverb controled with a knob.

Dedicated verb units shine with sweet reverb to create space over a whole part, but I really like using the Virus reverb in a creative way more than anything.

i totally agree that the virus verb can be used creatively, with some interesting outcomes.
but dedicated lexicon reverb.... a whole other ball game with scope for even more interesting outcomes :wink:

I think its spelt touche'. Derived from French, and used in fencing terms.

'cept the little dash thingy goes over the top of the last e - just to be anal :wink:

KC Owner,

Apologies for being a day late - that RMX really is incredible!

Anyway you can find some recordings of the sounds you provided me with here

They are mp3 recordings at 192 KHz. I used the key arrangement from Airwave - Rank1 for Sound 1 and the pad arrangement from the same track for Sound 2.

I removed all FX from the sounds first as there was chorus and distortion on the ones you gave me.

I then recorded through the Lexicon, first dry and then on 5 different default effects. I did not alter the effects, not even the wet / dryness so they are factory defaults.

I didn't have enough webspace to put the 48KHz wav recordings but if you want any particular recording in Wav format let me know.

Hope this helps you make your decision...

Thank you very much! Hmmm... I think I agree what Panopticon said. Good but not that great :wink:
