Unpacking and Inspection

After unpacking the unit, save all packing materials in case you ever need to re-ship. Thoroughly inspect the unit and packing materials for signs of damage.

Report any shipment damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer.

This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause

interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in

Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designated to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee

thatinterferencewillnotoccurinaparticularinstallation.Ifthisequipmentdoescauseinterferencetoradioortelevisionreception,whichcanbedeterminedbyturningtheequipment

OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; relocate the computer with respect

to the receiver; move the computer away from the receiver; plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver are on different branch circuits. If necessary,

the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal

Communications Commission helpful: "How to identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of Reflex,

Lexicon's Dynamic MIDI®Reverberator.

Reflexgivesyou8worldclassreverbera-

tion and effects algorithms to enhance any

audio performance. Sixteen preset effects

provide a wide range of superb sounds right

outofthebox,and a bank of 128registersis

available for storing your own customized

effects.—We'veloadedtheregisterswithan

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.

AnAdvancedProgrammingModeallows

you to access additional parameters within

each algorithm, providing fine control over

every aspect of the effects. This mode also

givesyoufrontpanelcontroloverUtilityfunc-

tions such as MIDI channel assignment and

Footswitch control allows you to bypass

theeffects,tostepthroughtheregisters,orto

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,Reflexletsyou change parameters

in real-time, using MIDI Note Number or

continuous controllers. You can create as

many as 4 patches per effect, controlling

Predelaywith ModWheel,ReverbTimewith

MIDI Notes, etc. Dynamic MIDI™allows

exceptionally expressive performance and

sequencer control.

Two of the algorithms (Chorus and Multi

Taps)allow youtocontrolechorhythmswith

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

fullMIDISysEximplementationwhichallows

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

withexistingeditorswhichwillrecognizeitas

signal.

MIX

Controls the proportion of processed

(wet) to unprocessed (dry) signals sent

to the outputs.

Button selects preset or register mode.

STORE (+)/CLEAR (–)

Toggles Store and Clear functions. When "+" is

displayed, holding stores the current effect to dis-

played register. When "–" is displayed, holding

designates effect to be skipped in a footswitch step

sequence.InAdvancedProgrammingMode,clears

Setting Audio Levels

1. Turn Reflex INPUTand OUTPUT con-

trols all the way down (fully counter-

clockwise).

2. Connect Reflex inputs to an audio

source, and Reflex outputs to an ampli-

fier or mixer.

3. Apply an input signal at a level that you

typically use.

4. While sending audio to Reflex, gradually

turn up the INPUT control until the Input

Status LED* lights green. Continue to

advance INPUT until the LED lights red

on only the loudest peaks. If the LED is

continuously red, turn the INPUT control

down.

5. If Reflex is using a console's sends and

returns, set the MIX control fully clock-

wise (100% wet). If you are using an

instrument amplifier, start with MIX set

halfway up.

6. Gradually increase the setting of the

OUTPUT control until the audio level

from the amplifier or mixer is approxi-

mately the same as when Reflex is by-

passed.

* The Input Status LED is off when the incoming

signal is low; it lights to indicate acceptable levels

(6dB to 30dB below overload). The LED lights red

whenthesignalapproachesoverload.Acceptable

signals will trigger red flashes only on peaks.

Rear Panel Connections

FOOTSWITCH

Tip/Ring/Sleeve phone input, for momentary or

latching contact footswitches, allows footswitch

control of Register Step and Bypass functions.

OUPUT

Single-ended (unbalanced) stereo outputs provide

-2dBu nominal output level. Use the right output

connector for mono output. If no connection is made

attherightoutput, the leftoutputcan be usedtodrive

high-efficiency headphones at modest volume.

INPUT

Single-ended (unbalanced) inputs accept levels

as low as -30dBu. Input impedance is 50 kΩin

stereo, 25 kΩin mono. Use the right for mono

input.

POWER

Use Lexicon MSA power pack,

or 9VAC 1 amp equivalent.

MIDI

MIDI In and Out connectors are provided.

Switching an internal jumper allows selec-

tion of MIDI THRU instead of MIDI OUT.
