INTROdUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lexicon Omega
studio. The Lexicon Omega is a complete package of hardware and software that turns
your USB-connected computer into a professional multitrack recording workstation.
Whether you use it for high-quality stereo location recording with a laptop computer,
or for multitrack overdubbing and mixing in a home studio desktop system with MIDI
synthesizers, the Omega Studio hardware provides the professional-quality inputs and
outputs, metering, and level controls that computer sound cards or built-in audio
connections lack.
So you can make full use of the Omega Studio's analog, MIDI, and digital I/O right
away, we've included Steinberg's Cubase LE
offers integrated multi-track recording, editing and mixing of up to 48 audio tracks,
64 MIDI tracks, VST Instruments support, VST plug-in effects support, and an array
of additional features. Lexicon's Pantheon
the Omega package, providing the lush Lexicon reverbs that have been used on profes-
sional recordings for over thirty years. Alternatively, the Lexicon Omega may be used as
an interface with almost any other major audio recording software you may have, such
as Steinberg's Nuendo
