So... you wanted great rack sounds with its way better U.I. than any pedal, with outstanding parameters modulation and MIDI implementation.
And you wanted it cheap! :rock:

This is what the legendary Lexicon MPX-1 can do. :rawk:

:thumbsup: Delays with ANY other effects inserted in their feedback loops you can't do with anything else, unless you are going for top Gs units.
:thumbsup: Spectacular modulation fx crafted on classic tones made of panning & delay modulation working together.
:worship: Classic PCM "PanDly" and "Circular Dly"... with more colors here as filters and chorusing are available.
:shocked: Legendary Lexicon PrimeTime delays! If you don't know what a PrimeTime is... you don't know delay!
:cheers: Rigs! 3 to 4 high quality effects rigged in a single preset, with pro-systems routing and total control.
:shocked: H3000 "Undulator" ... a legend!
:worship: Amazing textures based on complex interwaving of different effects, creating pads of ethereal beauty you can use on any and every instrument.
:shocked: Reverbs you can't find on the floor! Listen to the M300 versions of this milestone unit.
And a lot more...

High quality audioclips deserve an educated listening. Avoid computer speakers and ears-torture devices alike.
Treat yourself to nice speakers or headphones and download the high resolution audio files rather than "survive" on streaming mp3s...

to enjoy...
 
Post for later. I'll be in touch !!! I have an MPX-1, MPX-G2, PCM 70, PCM 80, and a PCM 41, as well as an H3000
 
I run a wet/dry/wet setup and the MPX-1 is one of the best sounding effect, in it's price range I've found. It is really an awesome unit. Then only thing I would say is I wish it had more processing power. I can't run de-tune (pitch shift) and delay/reverb at the same time and also is slow to load a preset.
 
Yep!
The 2 DSPs work on different task: an ADSP2100 chip takes care of the fx while the custom made Lexichip2 is dedicated to classic Lexicon reverbs. No matter what you use as fx, a reverb will always be available if you need it.

The fx engine is somehow underpowered and you can't really insert several fx at the same time. Pitch and Chorus fx can't be used together as an example. The later MPX-G2 solved the problem with a more powerful chip for the fx section. Nevertheless the MPX1 can calculate some very interesting effects, often with an analog-like texture in the modulation dept.. Thanks to the neat trick of delays feedback path insertion, any effect can be placed within the delays feedback; something only available on extremely expensive products. This feature is the most desired way to create spectacular processed delays, inserting chorus or filters or detuners or a combination of them. The fx have their own sound and structures while the reverbs come from the legendary PCM80, even though in a reduced parameters allowance, avoiding competition with the higher end PCM line.
 
I got mine in 1998 I think... I'm sure it was around before that.. I haven't really played it in a while, but plugged it in today. It does some cool things. The pitch effects are a bit sibilant, and the tone of the box in general is a bit thin, but can be compensated for.. It's also bit complicated to navigate. It took me a few minutes to relearn it today even tho I've owned it for years.. My Quadraverb is way easier to navigate.

I like Lexicon stuff tho. I also have 2-MPX 500's that I've used for recording, and they sound great as they are newer with 24 bit converters. But they are meant more for studio I think because you don't have the control you get with the MPX 1. I don't need a ton of effects. I like Reverb and Delay mostly. Then a Chorus and Phaser for every once and a while. I'll have to put it ( MPX 500) in the loop of my MV and work with it on fresh ears.

I'm starting to get into Analog effects now. I have an analog Univibe that's great.
 
Awesome stuff...as usual. :thumbsup:

I REALLY need to purchase your TC2290 and Korg DL8000R presets.

Oh, I have an MPX-G2...this may help me?

Unfortunately the 2 machines have different MIDI SysEx codes because the G2 has more fx modules in it.
The modules I have used are common to the G2 and could be programmed by hand on your machine... which is a pain.
My presets are in MIDI SysEx files so they may not be compatible. Maybe one day I'll find a way to port them over to the G2.

sorry....
:cry:
 
Isn't there a free online editor package for the G2 so you /we could do it via a computer or tablet ?

Not really the way I would ever work.
You need the actual machines and work the magic in a real way!
 
What I'm saying is you develop the programs on the actual machine and then load it into the online editor then ?

THEN... you may mess everything up because the machines are different!
IF you load the preset tweaked "online" and your G2 locks or sounds like shit... you'll know why!
 
So if YOU had a G2 and you developed programs for it SPECIFFICALLY there is no way to sell them ? If I sent you my G2 for example, you can't develop presets for it ? The R1 remote functions with both G2 and MPX1 by the way, so some of the MIDI has to be the same. The R1 comes with an overlay for the buttons if you use it with an MPX1 instead of a G2... Not arguing, just trying to understand

The G2 has more FX modules and algorithms so the SysEx code has been extended to accomodate the old part common with the MPX1 and the new fx. You neven know how the SysEx has been implemented.
The R1 very likely has a sensing function for the control of both units WHICH is completely different from programming a structure on a machine and loading it on the other.
If I had a G2 I could build anything on it and even re_program what I have done on the MPX1... and sell it, of course.
:thumbsup:

I'd be HAPPY to send mine in for development work...

Shipping costs (to and back) are insane... you could buy 2 MPX1s for that kind of money....
I'm not in the US...
But you could get an MPX1, get my presets and re_program them on the G2 too.
