  • Page 4: Overview

    Make Room for New Memories. LVX is what we’ve been dreaming of for many years. It is a Modular Delay System which breaks the paradigm of pre-set delay types in favor of freedom and flexibility. The architecture of LVX allows ultimate creative freedom to design a custom delay, exactly as you’ve dreamed of.

  • Page 5: Back Connections

    - PRESET PAGE (GRAPHIC VIEW) When you first power up LVX, you will enter the Preset Page. By default, LVX is shipped in “GRAPHIC VIEW”. In GRAPHIC VIEW, 3 knobs are your navigation controllers: C1, C2, C3. The Preset Page consists of a preset bubble that contain the name and num- are controlled by C1 and C2 (located directly above the controllers).
  • Page 6 - EDITING (EDIT PAGE IN GRAPHIC VIEW) EDIT PAGE From the PRESET PAGE, push C3 to enter EDIT PAGES. The EDIT PAGE is where you select categories and change parameters within each preset. The middle bubble is your category. Turn C3 to cycle through categories. Turn C1 knob to carousel through the parameters.
  • Page 7 UI MAP - (IN GRAPHIC VIEW) (home), push C3 to navigate into the EDIT PAGES (2nd level). The 2nd level, consists of EDIT PAGES, From the PRESET PAGE GLOBALS, SYSTEM INFO and TACTILE PAGE that wrap around when turning C3. Preset Page - (Home) From Preset Page, push C3 to go to Edit Page.
  • Page 8 GLOBALS Globals is located at the end of the Edit Page, after you cycle thru all categories. A shortcut to Globals is to start from Edit Page and turn C3 L. Globals is before System Info. Globals carousels the same way as the Edit Page but will be colorized in solid gold. - SAVING (SAVE AS PAGE IN GRAPHIC VIEW) SAVE AS PAGE Once edits are made within a preset, hold down C3 knob to enter SAVE AS PAGE.
  • Page 9 2 FAVORITE PARAMETERS (ASSIGNABLE TO EACH PRESET) 2 FAVORITE PARAMETERS can be assigned to each preset. They are located on each side of the preset bubble, directly above C1 and C2. In the SAVE AS PAGE, turn C3 to select either the L or R field. The field will highlight as an outlined box AND a dot will appear on either side of the preset bubble to indicate which side is selected.

  • Page 10: Save Preset Or Cancel

    SAVE PRESET OR CANCEL Hold down C3 knob again to save. Or QUICK SAVE. To CANCEL a save, press any of the four footswitches. This will exit the SAVE AS PAGE without writing over your preset. If you cancel, no edits are saved. COPYING A PRESET Anytime you assign a Preset to a different Preset Number + Press and Hold C3 to save, you will automatically duplicate the Preset.

  • Page 11: Favorites Bank

    - FAVORITES BANK We created what we call the FAVORITES bank. The purpose of the Favorites Bank is to have a shortcut access to your top 3 favorite presets without the need navigate thru banks. The Favorites Bank is located before bank 1. To jump to the Favorites Bank, HOLD 1 + 2 footswitches.

  • Page 12: Modifiers

    ASSIGN - Each modifier is a self contained module that can automatically adjust a parameter in the LVX. To link a modifier to a parameter, use the modifier’s ASSIGN parameter.
  • Page 13 To fine tune the range of the sweep, let’s change the Min and Max parameters of LFO A. For Min and Max, the percentage relates to the current parameter value, where 100% equates exactly to the current position. Since we have the Filter’s Frequency is set to the maximum value of 15000 Hz, 100% exactly corresponds to this value and 0% corresponds exactly to the minimum frequency value of 20Hz.
  • Page 14 This sum is automatically clipped at 100% when it gets too large. When looking at the Assign parameter for any of the modifiers, LVX will only show the parameters for Categories where a processing element has been selected. If the Type is set to None, then that Category will not appear in the list of Assign parameters.

  • Page 15: Expression

    - EXPRESSION The rear panel of LVX has an EXP jack which allows you to connect an expression pedal for on the fly changes of parameters. LVX lets you make 6 expression pedal assignments and for each assignment you can choose which parameter the expression pedal is controlling, and how much the parameter is changed at the minimum and maximum positions of the expression pedal.
  • Page 16 EXPRESSION PEDAL EXAMPLE - USING EXPRESSION SOURCE Let’s create a preset to see how to use the Expression Source parameter to compliment the Modifier section in LVX. Turn C3 to a BLANK preset. Before entering the Edit Pages, turn the front panel Mix knob to zero, doing this will let us listen to anything in the Pre+Dry category with no echoes present.

  • Page 17: Looper

    LVX has an always available 60 second stereo looper. (Note: looper audio does not save during power down.) The looper is available at the same time as the delays, so you have full access to all of your LVX presets when using the looper.
  • Page 18 - DELAY STRUCTURES The heart of LVX are the stereo delay lines. The first two delay parameters are Structure and Type. Structure reorganizes the delay lines to add delay taps and filters, reverse the direction, and twist the delays into a dual poly structure adapted from our Polymoon.
  • Page 19 This parameter has three settings: “USE GLOBAL”, “FORCE LISTEN’, and ‘FORCE IGNORE’. ‘USE GLOBAL’ sets the preset to follow whatever the Global MIDI Clock parameter is set to, all of the factory presets in LVX default to this setting. ‘FORCE LISTEN’ lets you set this preset00 to always listen to MIDI Beat Clock and ‘FORCE IGNORE’...
  • Page 20 Important: the Modulation Category is separate from the front panel Mod knob which directly controls the modulations built into the delays. All the processing elements in LVX, with the exception of Poly Chroma, are stereo and can process the left and right audio signal completely independently.
  • Page 21 Also shown in the visual diagram is the Mixer for LVX. The Mixer is directly connected to the front panel mix knob. To adjust the Dry and Wet Trim levels, use C3 to enter Edit View and page over to the MIX section. The following is a breakdown of each...
  • Page 22 Parameters: Depth (milliseconds), Resonance, Level, Spread PARAMETRIC - LVX’s Parametric Filter is a single band parametric EQ. The Parametric Filter is especially useful in the Post Loca- tion to balance the overall frequency response of your delay. The Parametric Filter is a shelving filter, and the Gain ranges from -10dB to 10dB which allows for precise boosts and cuts.
  • Page 23 MODULATION CATEGORY (MODULATE) CHORUS - adapted from the multimode modulation block in the Polymoon, this element provides true stereo chorus. Try setting the local Mix parameter to 100% for Vibrato. Parameters: Speed, Depth, Mix FLANGER - also adapted from the Polymoon, this element is great for adding slow and cyclical peaking notches to the output of your delay structures Parameters: Speed, Depth, Feedback, Mix DYNAMIC FLANGER - envelope driven flanging from the Polymoon, this element can provide a wide range of creative effects from...

    - TUNER To engage TUNER, HOLD 3 + TAP footswitches. Notes are automatically detected and turn green when accurately tuned. Tuner reference frequency can be adjusted if desired. HOLD 3 + TAP footswitches to engage TUNER. - GLOBALS GLOBALS is located at the end of the EDIT PAGES. To reach the end, continue to turn C3 knob (clock-wise) and cycle through all categories until you reach GLOBALS.
  • Page 32 INPUT LEVEL: Instrument or Line/Synth, if clipping occurs in Instrument mode, choose Line/Synth • KILL DRY: When kill dry is enabled, the LVX only passes audio when active. In bypass, the LVX is muted. This is useful when working with an external mix control used in some amplifiers, processors, and mixing boards.

  • Page 33: Text View (Alternative View Of Edit Page)

    - FACTORY RESET To put your LVX back to factory fresh condition, press and hold C3 when powering up the LVX to enter the Factory Reset View. From the Factory Reset View, press C1 to start the Factory Reset which resets all presets and globals, or press C2 to cancel the reset and start the LVX normally.

  • Page 34: Firmware Update

    To enter firmware update mode, press and hold footswitch 1 and 3 while powering up LVX. The screen will show a Copy File graphic screen. Connect to your computer via the rear USB C jack. LVX will appear on your computer as a USB drive.

  • Page 35: Glossary

    - GLOSSARY ATTACK [Compressor]: The amount of time it takes for the compressor to turn down any input audio that crosses the compressor’s threshold. Fast Attack creates a consistent, controlled volume. Long Attack leads to a punchier sound. ATTACK SPEED [Dynamic Flanger]: The speed at which the Flanger’s Envelope responds to your input signal. ATTACK TIME [Swell]: The length of time for a swell to reach full volume.
  • Page 36 GAIN [Swell, Tube, Transistor, Op-Amp, Drive, Bit Crusher]: Adjustment for volume before the Preamp effect. GLIDE [Harmony, Mono Chroma]: When activated, glide provides smoothing to any assigned control signal (either from the Modifiers or Expression pedals) to create a smooth transition between pitches. With Glide On, you can use the expres- sion pedal or modifier to smoothly sweep between pitches, similar to a whammy-eque experience.
  • Page 37 SAMPLE RATE [Bit Crusher]: Changes the sample rate from 20 Hz to 48 kHz, lower sample rates introduce a unique ailsing effect. SCALE [Harmony]: Alters the harmony intervals based on which scale you chose (ie. major 3rds or minor 3rds). SIZE [Granulize]: Length of repeat grains from 1 millisecond to 600 milliseconds.
