  moosers's review

  Characteristics

  The Lexicon MX200 is a multi effects processor that is capable of being hooked up to your computer via USB and used as a plug-in as well as a piece of outboard gear. It has MIDI ins and outs and two 1/4 inch inputs and outputs as well. It also has a S/PDIF input and output and is powered by the power supply that is sold separately. It is a rackable unit and it will take up a single rack space.

  Utilization

  The use of the unit is easy to figure out as a piece of outboard gear, but can get somewhat confusing when using it as a plug-in. The parameters are pretty easy to follow and it is easy to scroll between all the different types of effects that this piece of gear has. I must note that the plug-in section of this unit can only be used as a VST plug-in and is not compatible with Pro Tools without the VST to RTAS adapter. However, if you have a compatible system you should be able to use all aspects of this unit pretty easily. The manual for this is pretty thorough and is useful when using this.

  Sound Quality

  The effects on the Lexicon MX200 are usable and it is pretty versatile overall as it has a lot of different types of effects including reverbs, delays, chorus, flanger, vibrato, pitch shift, and tremolo, among a few other types of effects. Each effect has its own useful parameters that allow for a good deal of control over your sound. The overall sound quality is clean and the effects sound good for a unit this cheap. I have only used this effects processor with guitar, but it is suitable with any electronic instrument you want to plug into this. The hardware and plug-in sounds are similar in terms of sound quality.

  Overall Opinion

  I've been using the Lexicon MX200 for about three years and I have come to like it for its convenience of having so many different effects in one hardware unit and plug-in combined. The price of this is really inexpensive and makes it a great deal. Lexicon makes some great effect processors, and even though this is somewhat low end model, it is great for the price tag. If you are looking for a hardware multi-effects processor that can also be used as a plug-in, this is absolutely worth a look as it is a great deal.

  Utilization

  Using a relatively simple ... The publisher is still welcome ...
  
  Who does the head regularly on the effects, the manual is obsolete, except for "routing" comprehensive but confusing (no summary diagram based on the number called ...).

  Sound Quality

  The effects are pretty uneven ... There are some nice reverbs, a time that sounds good ... The dynamic effects are, how shall I say, entry level, too late in adjusting to achieve a specific result ... But hey, when you take a Lexicon multi effects, we look mainly reverbs, compressors not ...
  
  The sound is generally correct, some reverbs are very good. Heat large processor brand is a bit lacking, but it's not as cold as what some would have us believe, and in terms of reflection, some Japanese fashion effects sound much more "metal" and chemical. And we must adapt the presets that it is ....

  Overall Opinion

  This is an entry-level effect, so do not expect this little MX200 with the sound of a 960L ... I was looking for a little reverb to listen to the recorded catches hot, give them a small spatial, not to lead me to give color to customers. This small multi-purpose fulfilled its function perfectly, some reworked presets can even get into the final mix ... A good little machine troubleshooting, which will fill his role very well live, the sound is good, but did not reach the heights of the brand, PCM70, 480, 960, and many others who shaped the image Lexicon.
  
  
  
  I do not agree with those who say that this device does not ring, reverb presets are correct, and acceptable delay ... For the rest ... In any case, a perspective reverb is better than 01V96 ... Stay in the reverb time compatible with the type of preset selected, the rooms of 4.5 s, it may not sound ... Or with a NonLin2 (but the check is not the same ...)
  
  
  
  This effect is dedicated to those who do not stretch the budget, which are ready to go in the presets to suit their needs, and know tastefully dose levels of effects to give the feeling of third dimension to their mix ....
  
  
  
  There are better, but so much more ....

  Cerrydan's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See more advice for the technology, etc..
  
  
  
  For me and my wife, it's useless 99 effects, a dozen would have sufficed but good !!!!!
  
  
  
  The reverbs are the style of my toilets and corridors of the metro, the beautiful long reverbs that put voices in value do not exist or when running in the tails of socks ..... It's more of the "resonance" as the reverb .....
  
  
  
  There are 2 or 3 delay not too bad, but that's it!
  
  
  
  Lexicon not worthy of all this ..... we are very disappointed !!!!!
  
  
  
  As I put a note because there is not 0.1 .....

  Utilization

  Not so easy especially since the manual is in English and the CD is useless !!!!!

  Sound Quality

  Effects? see above :-(((
  
  
  
  I use a table soundcraft, the APG 15 and PS 12, Crown amplifiers, microphones AKG HT4000

  Overall Opinion

  I try since 3 days
  
  
  
  I love the most: not the least: almost everything
  
  
  
  The reverb mix my desk is much higher
  
  
  
  value for money: for the price as I said above, to good effect 12 and that's it!
  
  
  
  I do not do it again over this choice and I recommend even for beginners.

  Characteristics

  Already seen ............

  Utilization

  Simple Config via software front usb +
  
  Editing is very simple

  Sound Quality

  See below

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a short week and the choice was not easy to choose the model that I could not try before
  
  not easy because the opinions of my classmates were mixed before but for my part I agree well MX200 dual processor combined and a very nice grain for this type of model (- € 200)
  
  I already have a MicroVerb 4 (very average) and tried the behringer 2024 (medium)
  
  the only competitor is the M350 TC
  
  I use it to catch my voice and mix of all kinds
  
  very satisfied

  Nikos47's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Ben really disappointed with this machine .. to be honest I bought it yesterday, I tried 2 hours and have recovered quickly in the bag .. product unworthy of lexicon! The stew! it is intended as a plug hardware but can not insert the plugins in Nuendo, you can only use it on your insert I / O VST! The USB connection is only used to edit the settings and I have not understood the value given that access to different patches is easier and direct front, except perhaps to give a name to its preset ... pfff buy directly as a reverb unit ... fucking money out the window ..

  Utilization

  it is easy to be simple! we quickly made the rounds .. Lexicon on that side was strong.

  Sound Quality

  Ben not really good .. some sounds are downright disgusting and overrated, as a sham that machine .. we are left with a signal more than the sound of pourrave orgine .. mouep, awesome! . If I can give good advice to all who read my mind: above all, do not like me, do not be stupid to buy a MX200! I put 1 / 10 and yet I'm being generous here, that's not to 0!

  Overall Opinion

  Machine beautiful, simple, ergonomic and attractive, but disappointing in practice by the sound quality it offers.

  TinNikonen's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Multi purpose "classic", with reverb, chorus, flanger, tremolo, and tt the shebang ... What changes is the management software plugin ... it does not touch the facade, all done on your own ...
  
  Very cool system.
  
  Behind it came out + stereo + SPDIF in and out. Simplex maximus

  Utilization

  does it work alone ... my house is connected to spdif on my motu 828 mk2, I do the routing in the software (Live5.0) and roll youth ... Being able to set everything from the interface software is great.

  Sound Quality

  Well, it sure is not a multi euros in 4000, so obviously sounds are not amazing. Live is great!
  
  The reverb is clean and routing plays a lot, so be careful.

  Overall Opinion

  If I had to redo the choice, I would still ... suits me very well (for live)
  
  
  
  Comment 19/07/07: It is the app is available in MacIntel ... It took time. Oh, I forgot, it works!

  Utilization

  Plant Ca 2 once when I want to open it in Plugin! And yet I am under XP SP2
  
  
  
  Otherwise, the ergonomics of the front is correct

  Sound Quality

  Bof ... For the live, OK, to relieve your CPU why not, but if you have good reverb plug (IK Classic Studio Reverb, Ambience Smartelectronix ...) or better in convolution reverbs (IR1 Waves, Altiverb, Wizooverb ... ) it's not worth it, the sound of the MX200 does not compete! It is somewhat reminiscent of the Waves TrueVerb! Not bad, but it is cold and metallic!
  
  
  
  As for other effects: blah!

  Overall Opinion

  I thought that Lexicon would compete with the best plugs, but this model is an entry-level, so no secret!

  sk1t's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  See the reviews below.

  Utilization

  In terms of ergonomics, the machine is great, the selection matrix effects is very well done, we see the first look at what effects are active.
  
  
  
  The publication of three settings effects is relatively sufficient to achieve what you want. on the other hand, impossible to program without the doc, the parameters are not identified by their value, but by numbers 1,2,3, etc. on the display. That said, any money I do not ask an LCD screen ...
  
  
  
  Another problem in my config is that I hard a sequence MPC2000XL, so I do not VST architecture to control the MX200. Except that the MX200 does not send anything in midi out, which means that to create an automation, I have to create by hand all CC from my MPC. It's painful.
  
  
  
  Moreover it is not possible to use the same time MIDI and USB, for example using a MIDI sync delays for disables the USB port, then it would have been convenient to synchronize noon monitor settings via the editing software MXedit.

  Sound Quality

  This is where the machine hit, there is no picture, the sound value / price is really good. I love the delays, very well made, the reverbs are effective, although I never use the MX for the reverb only, I use qeuleument in addition to another effect. It's not a reverb 6000 (but it does not cost the same price either).
  
  
  
  Dbx dynamics is a little gadget in my opinion, although it may help. The remaining effects flange / rotary / chorus, etc., is rather effective.

  Overall Opinion

  I've had two months, and I'm happy for the sound quality.
  
  For cons, the MX is definitely focused VST, using twelve o'clock noon is taken over almost unusable.
  
  It is still a very good machine value for money.
