  blackle's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A huge reservoir of creativity but a design could be improved."

  Characteristics

  Brand renowned multi-effects can be chained to individual desires and needs a large number of effects (maximum five) from the six simultaneously up the MPX 1. Transposition tone, chorus, EQ, modulation, delay and reverb, finally. Lexicon in its wisdom provides an interactive front (they call it that). It is true that all the buttons that light up to indicate all available functions is a useful thing, unfortunately in practice this device it becomes a trap when it is handled. The implementation noon (vital for me) is very comprehensive and allows all the internal sources of control are re-issued as a message of control system continues. A built-in arpeggiator driver of sound generators noon and generates sound effects synchronized on this point it is a wonder!

  Utilization

  A (very) long period of adaptation and understanding is needed to make the best use of its possibilities. The first days I used it and despite the manual which was on my lap I found myself as a real idiot in front of the screen, eyes wide and tongue hanging out and my brain boil (a big thank you to the Efferalgan passage). I could not see where I was made so the combinations of actions are huge and decked unfortunately ergonomics at least partially confusing and logic. Now and after having swallowed the whole flaquons "Cogitum" (plus I'm blonde) I feel better, but what a headache and I felt nunuche early! In fact I would say two words to those who have laid this woe interface that looks more like a torture for execice neurons as a real interface for normal users, ie humans. That day they had to have a grudge against the musicians is not possible otherwise!
  
  In short, once the drugs have Cogitum acts on the metabolism of my brain, I became a real caver editing because in fact this unit we discover always a lot of editable parameters, whether temporal or frequency, and within and outside options more or less easy to associate with the already large library of parameters related to an effect in particular.

  Sound Quality

  Side the sound quality is really good job against the MPX 1 in spite of all my efforts I never managed to get reflections approaching a little bit of another model that I like many, LXP 15. The reverberations are much drier, less oily, I do not know how to say. The fact is that multi-mode program there is a good camera, the effects of transpositions in height and corrections are really good, and delays are all great.

  Overall Opinion

  A multi-effect that is great! But why Lexicon's use flanged ergonomics so perfectible? I bought some on a whim, thinking back, and better, all the qualities that made all the fame of the LXP series with musicians. So much for the quality of its effects I'm not disappointed, as I remain in use on my hunger. This is clearly not a device designed for live, but I like it anyway, it is a huge reservoir of creativity because I found it no limit combination and programming. Finally I read in previous opinions that it was more or less compared to the M Tc electronic 2000 home, with this model also has its use is certainly simpler, but artistically the Lexicon is much more interesting, cons for s 'accountable do not give up and go through with its logic.
  
  
  
  
  
  Sarah, a musician who has not hurt his head and not so silly it after all. Thank you to "Cogitum")

  ric49's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Multi-state effects are. Reverb, chorus, delay's, etc. ..
  
  For all the rest has already been said ..

  Utilization

  The general configuration is simple?
  
  A bit confusing at the start .. But once we realized it was good
  
  
  
  Editing sounds and effects is easy?
  
  ... Same as for general configuration.
  
  
  
  The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
  
  The manual is well done asser, but Lexicon is better.

  Sound Quality

  By using multi-effects, we come to "out" some very interesting and frankly sometimes quite surprising!
  
  the pitches are of good bills, the modulations are very good, nice delays, reverbs on the other hand do not sound very lexicon .. We do not even far enough to say .. How .. Just above the TC Electronic M2000. Cons by mixing the reverb with other effects, I think (personal opinion any) that it is much better than the M2000 tc.
  
  Anyway the goal is precisely LEXICON by using multi-effects, and to use only the MPX 1 reverb and many are operating under the machine to the other .. LEXICON reverbs products ..

  Overall Opinion

  I use the MPX 1 in the studio for quite some years now (it came out in doing), I also have a home EVENTIDE DSP 4000, I have a clear preference for it, but I own both MPX love this one, which constantly monitors what I want for nothing, and then to his side "tying". To summarize:
  
  -The reverbs are not alone is strong, just for reverbs and stay in the same price range I would much prefer the LXP 15 II yet older.
  
  By-cons in using multi-effect is perfect.
  
  In conclusion I would do is choosing without hesitation.

  Relatively, however, it remains in the minds Lexicon.
  
  
  
  - Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
  
  
  
  It's going. It's a bit more complex than the PCM 70 (but bug-free!) Without also taking the lead PCM80
  
  
  
  - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
  
  
  
  Yes, but heavy enough.

  Sound Quality

  Overall, the effects are absolutely gorgeous, detailed, accurate, with good heat.
  
  
  
  - Which instruments do you use?
  
  
  
  In the studio.
  
  
  
  - Which ones you prefer, you hate?
  
  
  
  The delays can be improved because it is too basic, the modulations are seen, the reverbs sound lexipouet ..... amazing, right?

  Overall Opinion

  - How long have you use it?
  
  
  
  3 years.
  
  
  
  - What is so special that you like most and least?

  Yes

  Yes, but I will graft a piece of brain lexiconnien engineering to understand their logic .....
  
  
  
  Warning: this is only my opinion and that is a reflection of my personal or professional experience that I want objective, but which is necessarily subjective. I am not forcing anyone to share it, to take it at face value. So for the brave who think invested I do not know what mission on condition of anonymity to their email, it is useless to send me messages of insults because you do not share my point of view: your mail automatically end his life in the trash, with no other alternative. In a sense, you can consider it a return to sender;)

  voicetrack's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Chain of six simultaneous effects that may have as we want to route, stereo, channel by channel, Stereo mix effect from the two inputs to mono for the use of two departures from auxiliary console for example, and a little extra that is the insertion of an effects (pitch, distortion, equa, tremolo, wah ... etc) in the feedback delay, dub, and vintage effect guaranteed!
  
  
  
  the machine is very complete and goes far enough in certain settings to the choice of grain Vox or Crybaby Wah for her (you can assign the cut-off of the wah filter or resonant, the infield dal, envlop generator, an LFO, or MIDI controller with notes etc ... is unfortunately, a remainder of the emulation)
  
  
  
  can control the settings via midi and there is even an arpeggiator (which can assign a sound generator and a distortion and resonant filter, for example, enough to make a synth solo tres original!)
  
  
  
  The list of possibilities is too long ...

  Utilization

  It has something for nothing and contrairemen TCelectronic machines, it is difficult to cope without the user manual but a faith we understand, it's not making too much a head twisted at times may . The tap tempo is set and can even take the average of blows taps.

  Sound Quality

  The Lexicon reverbs sound good, more "demonstrative" but often heavier and less natural than a cel TCelectronic M-2000 for example, setting parameters are indeed quite different and the two complement each other really well nothing that at the level of reverb.
  
  
  
  For other effects, the MPX-1 is rather forbids well especially at the possibilities of delay. The latance the Flanger difficilemen makes use of a fader to post that gives the impression of having a second flanger fix in addition to its flange.
  
  
  
  The machine has a sound quite dynamic and well presented. This is a multi effect that alie character and quality which is remarkable for a camera in this class.

  Overall Opinion

  I lay for a week and I do not regret, I have already used on stage, and no bad surprises, everything went well. View the current rating, it's a great value for money.
