Program Descriptions
The programs in the Wild Spaces bank can best be
described as reverberation effects. They produce rev-
erberation, but their sounds bear little resemblance to
anything found in nature. These programs are specifi-
cally intended for use in popular music production, and
have no known applications in traditional or classical
music.
1 Brick Wall
Brick Wall, as in running into, rather than sounding
similar to. This program can best be described as a
subtle gated inverse room, but it's really much more.
Unlike most gated reverb effects, this one's usefulness
extends well beyond drum sounds. Try it on a wide
variety of material.
2 Buckram
Buckram is a variation of Brick Wall. The difference is
that Buckram doesn't sound as dense as the Brick Wall,
and has a longer reverb tail.
3 Big Bottom
Big Bottom has a relatively short RT MID and a much
longer bass reverb time. This produces a big boom
from low-frequency material, while leaving the high end
more or less untouched. This is useful for adding a big
bass and tom drum sound to an existing mix, or to a
drum machine with premixed stereo outputs.
4 10W-40
10W-40 emulates the sound of an oil drum. If your
facility lacks an oil drum wired for sound, you will be
pleased to discover that Lexicon has supplied one—
before you even knew you needed it.

5 20W-50
A more aggressive oil drum.
6 Metallica
Metallica produces dense, metallic reverberation
with lots of hard echoes. Designed for heavy metal.
7 Silica Beads
Put a small monitor upside down on top of a snare
drum, pour a few thousand beads on top of the
drum, and hit the monitor with a couple hundred
watts. The result? Not nearly as interesting as the
Silica Beads program.
8 Inside Out
Inside Out produces a big echo with a big difference—
it's turned inside out. Listen closely to percussive
material.
9 Ricochet
Ricochet emulates a fairly large space with a dan-
gerous slapback echo.
0Varoom
Varoom is a room with no resemblance to any
known acoustic space; the sound accelerates as it
goes by.
