Getting Started

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of Reflex,

Lexicon's Dynamic MIDI

®

 Reverberator.

Reflex gives you 8 world class reverbera-

tion and effects algorithms to enhance any
audio performance. Sixteen preset effects
provide a wide range of superb sounds right
out of the box , and a bank of 128 registers is
available for storing your own customized
effects. — We've loaded the registers with an
additional 96 sounds to really get you going!

Reflex front panel operation is straight-

forward, with three adjustable parameters
which allow you to make subtle or dramatic
changes to each preset.

An Advanced Programming Mode allows

you to access additional parameters within
each algorithm, providing fine control over
every aspect of the effects. This mode also
gives you front panel control over Utility func-
tions such as MIDI channel assignment and
register dumps.

Footswitch control allows you to bypass

the effects, to step through the registers, or to
set up register chains to suit your perfor-
mance needs

MIDI Program Change can be used to

access any register, or to bypass Reflex
processing. Beyond simple Program
Change, Reflex lets you change parameters
in real-time, using MIDI Note Number or
continuous controllers. You can create as
many as 4 patches per effect, controlling
Predelay with  Mod Wheel, Reverb Time with
MIDI Notes, etc. Dynamic MIDI™ allows
exceptionally expressive performance and
sequencer control.

Two of the algorithms (Chorus and Multi

Taps) allow you to control echo rhythms with
MIDI Clock, so you can synchronize delays
to drum machines and sequencers, vary the
echo repeat rate, and still maintain tempo.

Even deeper control is available through

full MIDI SysEx implementation which allows
bidirectional communication with a dedi-
cated controller, such as Lexicon's MRC, or
a personal computer with appropriate soft-
ware. In fact, Reflex is already compatible
with existing editors which will recognize it as
a member of Lexicon's LXP series.
