USE

Very well on this for me
super easy editing
I used the VST plug associated with a momment departure and return effect on my card
Today I do utise more plug I edited while still in facçade departure and return affect my sound card ....

SOUND QUALITY

Super good reverbs
I use most often on synth sounds sometimes with a slight compression
or pitch shifter or a slight detune
Chorus not really convincing

Insertion in a very good hardware \ software configuration

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have since December 2005
I love editing parameters and internal routing completely memorized
I try some multi-fx in this price range
quality / price more than correct
I would do this choice without hesitation ... to see in a few months ....

Rack multi effects (reverb, delay, compressor etc ...)
analog and digital connectors

USE

Pretty simple set
and the manual is clear enough to see the machine

SOUND QUALITY

The really I said yes, I was waiting a basic product, but i t tonn of the quality of reverb s that are clear and natural enough to RALIS the right mix. the delay are not bad either is pleased my best for this price.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for 2 months now and I strongly advice to those looking rack of this type has good price, ideal for the stage and studio. view my setup this tool really makes me service, so if I Devai ratchet I do it again without hesit. lexicon thank you! for the price

Purchased unit 1 week ago, I put the notice after several requests on this site (including myself there are still days qq!)
The technology is digital, the camera, which can be used in series or in parallel, has 2 effects processors 100% independent - which is really a plus - and that can handle four different ways via a small button routing (single-double, cascade, dual stereo, mono-split)

Each processor has three knobs, one function "tap-tempo" button and a "bypass".

Quick list of effects:
- 16 reflections,
- 6 Delay / Echo,
- 2 compressors
- 8 effects known as "modulation".

Added to that 99 preset "users" + 99 factory presets

Input / Output:
- Midi (in, out, through)
- 1 x Pedal
- A standard USB port
- S. PDIF digital jack (?)
- And finally, 2 inputs and 2 analog outputs

UTILIZATION

The interface is very simple, almost perfect.

Editing is extremely simple: you turn the dial and you click to confirm the effect. It is even possible to make the simple rotation gives direct access to the effects (minor adjustments to the two small buttons above the wheel)

This recalls the principle of TC-300, due to two processors and their control via knobs. Obviously, the advantage of CT is that the two processors here are 100% independent, you can mix a chorus with delay, reverb reverb with another, etc ... - Which is not possible with the TC 300!

Everything breathes the utility and the evidence on this unit.
-> One minor complaint, the button "hearing". I clicked two times, I almost blow my amp 2 times (in fact this is music meant to test the effects, if there is no instrument at hand - if any, as is the cata said just before!).

SOUND QUALITY

No or very little wind.

Reverb: the choice is vast (hall, flat, room ,...). The reverbs "flat" or "spring" are the driest, the reverb "arena" provides a long-acting and broad. The sound is just right. The settings are fine, but not very powerful.

Delays: - for my taste - perfect for digital delays.

Compressor: not bad, breath much less than the M-300

Modulation effects: important choice. There are the classic chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, but also a "detune" (next to the chorus), vibrato, pitch: the three are interesting. The settings are slightly less powerful than the TC, but they seem less souflent they are "cleaner".
-> Note: be careful about the choice of routing, it affects the power of the easy effect, especially when it comes to reverb. By default, a position it seems to me, the reverb seemed to me at the very beginning, very "pale" low. In fact, it is best to choose routing cascade, and there one finds much more honorable reverbs.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this camera a week ago and the picture is more positive: the overall sound is very correct, very clean (blows almost non-existent), the range of reverbs and delays is complete, the effects of "modulation" are well complete.

For a guitar is the perfect tool I expected (in lieu of a TC M-300 very similar but have some gaps in my opinion). By mixing a chorus or phaser with reverb, delay, we arrive easily to a good combination that brings out the harmonics of your acoustic instrument, giving it depth and breadth also.
The settings are fine, perhaps they lack, however, a little power to create more effects out of the norm. But it was not what I expected either. There are other purchase options for that.
I would say that the philosophy of the MX200 is a serious, comprehensive and functional, not excess.

In short, buy a very very good!

(Hope this helps others. If you have comments or questions, please. Ciao!)

Multi but not really multi-purpose. I mean, there are mainly delay and reverb effects complemented by some other classics like flanger, chorus etc. ....
Two completely independent effects processors that can route in 4 different ways depending on use.
USB interface (that's pretty damn good) comes with editor / bibiothécaire and ability to use VST instruments, but note: The sound is not carried by the USB connection.
The two effects processors are not complementary, but all offer the same two effects. In fact it is two same machines that can be set inépendamment.

UTILIZATION

Config simple, some subtleties to know (is therefore still read the instructions!)
Edit sound archi-simple.
The manual is just enough, there is really the minimum.
Some gaps even there the paramétarges unexplained. Example: Setup for use in stereo send / return for a console, you must change it seems the default config ca change this parameter assignments for the knobs dry / wet, but what settings? mystery ....

SOUND QUALITY

This is where the fish a little machine by comparing with the competition (in this case the TC Electronic M300, including the MX200 Lexicon is the response of this model).
Slightly pronounced effects (especially reverb). They lack scale, if you want to put "a lot" of reverb, well it's not possible. In addition, despite having tried all the routing, I found the reverbs are far from what a lexicon used to go out (in the more upscale). They "spoil" really sound, and the effect of characterization knob (clear or matte) is very low.
In addition it generates the blowing this machine! Much more than the TC Electronic M300. Here though everyone says there's no picture! (Used to send / return on console)
Here I break the note as simply not worthy of Lexicon.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been one week that I have, but if it again, I do not buy it.
Perhaps it is not suitable for my config or what I do as zic (I put a lot of reverb in my components)?
So for me price / quality ratio, to choose, I prefer the TC Electronic M300, it has less ability, but what he does, he does it better than the MX200.

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.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration
The edition is necessarily sound as each preset ais RSDLP paramtres manage only three ...
The manual is quite clear, it goes straight to the point.

SOUND QUALITY

I find the sound extremely good reverbs. It's Lexicon and means.
The grain is very rich, with enough reverb tail soft and dense. Too bad we can not control more of the parameters, there Contents for this ... but must be sought in a high-end Euro 3000 ...
I put a 10 for sound quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for four days and I think I've been around enough compltement ...
What I like most is the grain of reverbs, ttonnament good, it's silky, dense and it sounds professional, no doubt.
The argument "liveliness" that we can have an effect on the spectrum of the reverb (matte or glossy, high or low), and its effectiveness is formidable. Trs good!
What I like least is the fact that we can not edit more, a lack of mchament paramtres ...
Certainly it is a reverb of the range of from Lexicon, but for a product for professional use (that is described in the site) it should be a little more sculpted sound his own way ...
The ratio Q / P is average, because, as I understand it, we sell a Lexicon sound ... to be able to change it's more expensive
Maybe if you plug a multi-effect its release ... but no, I joke! = 0) though ...
I still think even that may well use this product if you follow the logic of the manufacturer ...
Example: If we want a lot of reverb with very long decay time, do not try to edit a preset like "small hall": this will be impossible ... The most logical route is to the preset "Arena" or "Large Hall" and we did ... the sound dja
The fact that we can combine the two processors, is also a good way to try to interact with the sounds ... and the routing makes sense!
Other effects are correct.
In short, this is not a tool for sound-designer, is on ...
I'll have to make the same choice, until I have not won the lottery!

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!

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.

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

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.

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 ....

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.
