Compressor - Lexicon MPX 200 - REV 2 Manual

Program Descriptions

COMPRESSOR

The compressor in the MPX 200 is a stand-alone control
that modulates the level feeding the other active
effect(s). It has no effect on the dry signal coming out of
the Mix control (or the Bypass signal when the System
Mode parameter Bypass Mode is set to Dry).
Compression on a dry signal is obtained by using a
delay-echo algorithm with delay times set to 0. Thus,
the Mix parameter must be set to full wet (100%) for this
to work properly. This is the default setting when the
System Mode parameter Global Mix Mode is set to
Program (Pro).
Programs 107, 108, and 109 use a parallel reverb-delay
algorithm to obtain compression on both a dry and wet
signal. To use these programs, observe the following:
• Keep the Mix parameter set to full wet (100%), the
default setting when the System Mode parameter
Global Mix Mode is set to Program (Pro). The dry
signal will be obtained as a compressed "delayed"
echo with the delay time set to 0.
4-16
• Adjust the reverb level by changing the Balance
parameter between full left (0%) and about 40%.
(Typical values should be between 5% and 10%.)
