Using PC-90 within an MMIO Application
Routing an Audio Channel through the PC-90
Like traditional effects devices, the PC-90 can be used in two ways: as auxiliary effects or as line
effects.
Most effects processors are used as auxilliary effects . On a typical console, this is achieved by using
the aux send and returns to send specific channels to the effects devices, then back to the board where
the end result is mixed with the dry outputs of the board. Typically, the Mix ratio is kept at 100% wet,
since the signal is mixed with the board outputs. Most of the multi-channel applications available today
(such as Cubase VST, Logic Audio, Cakewalk Pro Audio) simulate this functionality with virtual aux
sends and returns. For an example on how to set up PC-90 within an application that supports VST
plug-in architecture, see the previous section: Using PC-90 within an ASIO Application .
Effects devices can also be used as line effectsby placing them in series with the signal chain.
Steinberg WaveLab is capable of doing this through its VST plug-in architecture, which does not
require additional routing. MMIO programs that do not support VST plug-ins must route audio to the
PC-90, where it is mixed into the entire signal. Typically, the Mix ratio for reverb in this situation should
be set at 50%, to have a mixture of direct and reverberated signal.
Routing MMIO audio to and from the PC-90 is done in the Reverb tab of LexPanel.exe. To route audio:
1. Boot LexPanel.exe by double-clicking on the Lexicon Studio icon at the bottom right corner of your
task bar.
2. Click the Reverb tab to view all MMIO routing and control options for the PC-90.
