Lexicon's latest hardware reverb is designed to be as easy to control from your computer as a plug-in.
For years now we've become used to software plug-ins that look like hardware, but the Lexicon MX200 turns this idea on its head by being a hardware effects box that tries to look like a plug-in. What this means in practice is that the front-panel controls of the machine can be accessed via a plug-in window, and settings can be saved as part of your DAW song as with any other plug-in. This happens courtesy of a direct USB connection that functions as a MIDI port, though the audio still has to be connected to your audio interface in the usual way — it would have been neat if the audio could also have gone via USB, but no luck there.
The MX200 features the classic Lexicon reverb sound as well as providing additional effects (32 effect types in all), where two effects can run at the same time under one of four routing options. These may be accessed through very simple front-panel controls or using the MX-Editeditor/librarian software that works within VST or Audio Unit hosts. This way the MX200 is seen by the host software as a plug-in, even though it is really externally connected hardware. However, you can only open one instance of the plug-in at a time, of course, because there's only one MX200. In addition to being able to control the effect parameters in the same way you would with a plug-in, you can also automate the control settings and save or load patches. MX-Edit is included with the MX200 and runs on both Apple Mac or Windows XP systems.
The 1U rack processor is powered from an included AC power adaptor. It has stereo balanced inputs and outputs on TRS jacks and can also handle S/PDIF I/O. Alongside the USB link are conventional MIDI In and Out/Thru ports. When an external digital input is connected to the unit, the MX200 expects the external device to be the clock master.
