The Alex Digital Effects Processor and Reflex
Dynamic MIDI
® Reverberator put Lexicon’s leg-
endary digital reverb and effects processing into
two remarkably affordable packages. Both are full
rack devices with a multi-character LED display,
and full remote control of program change and
bypass via standard footswitches. In addition,
Reflex features Lexicon’s incredible Dynamic
MIDI
® control. Alex and Reflex have 16 phe-
nomenal presets, 3 adjustable parameters (giving
you over 4,000 effects combinations), plus another
16 user registers (128 in Reflex) for storing your
own unique sounds. Like our classic LXP family
of processors, Alex and Reflex have stereo in and
out
1 ⁄
4
in jacks., and can create real stereo effects,
such as panned echoes, even from a mono source.
The Effects
Alex and Reflex offer 16 presets which cover a
wide range of musically useful effects. Among
these presets are a wide range of fantastic reverbs
including: halls, rooms, plates, gates, and inverse
room. Both feature rich multi-voice chorusing,
flanging, straight echoes, and stereo multi-tap
delays. In addition, Reflex offers a unique res-
onator algorithm, and its reverb algorithms fea-
ture a randomizer to reduce coloration and
improve the character of long reverb tails, plus
early reflection effects.
Editing and customizing effects is a breeze.
Three adjustable parameters are available for
each preset. These are labeled decay, delay and fx
lvl. To edit the effects, simply press the parameter
button to indicate which one you wish to change,
and turn the Value knob until you’ve found the
setting that works best for you.
Reflex incorporates a special Advanced
Programming mode, which provides editing
capabilities for additional parameters within the
Reflex effects – all from the front panel. A para-
meter chart is included with Reflex to make edit-
ing simple and straightforward. This allows you
to access the deeper portions of the algorithm,
and tailor the sounds to your specific needs. You
can also edit Reflex effects with an external MIDI
device, such as the Lexicon MRC (MIDI Remote
Controller). Reflex is compatible with existing
LXP-1 MIDI editing systems like Mark of the
Unicorn’s Unisyn
™ and TB Systems’ Soft MC ™ .
We’ve given you plenty of user registers for
storing your customized sounds – 16 in Alex and
128 in Reflex. These registers can be arranged in
any order you like, so you can arrange your effects
sequentially to match your set list.
Remote Control
Having all of these great sounds at such a low
price is wonderful. But you also need to be able to
access the sounds quickly and easily to make a
processor useful on stage. So with Alex and
Reflex, we decided to make the remote control as
simple as could be.
Using standard footswitches, you can bypass
the unit for those moments when you want to
