The Presets; About The Presets - Lexicon LXP-15 Owner's Manual

The LXP-15 is factory-loaded with 128 preset effects. These can be used as is
or modified to create new sounds. (128 User registers are provided for you to
store your own sounds.) The presets themselves are permanently installed in
your unit; they can be modified, then stored to a User register, but they cannot
be overwritten. When shipped, the LXP-15 has a duplicate set of the preset
effects stored in Registers 1-128.
To make this assortment of effects more useful, we have grouped them into
several categories: 1-78 general purpose; 79-86 guitar or bass; 87-102 guitar or
keyboards; 103-117 keyboards; 118-128 special effects. This chapter will
provide the information necessary to identify the characteristics of these groups
so that you can quickly find a preset which matches your needs, or one close
enough to use as a starting point for a new sound.
A simple chart of the Preset names is given in Chapter 2, and on the Quick
Reference Guide. Some of the names themselves give clues as to the charac-
teristics of the effect. In general:
Env means that the signal input level will alter the effect;
"Env<" means that a stronger signal will produce a deeper effect
"Env>" means that a weaker signal will produce a deeper effect
Oct indicates a pitch shift of one octave up.
Cascade indicates a patch which uses feedback through any pitch change
interval other than unison
Foot A foot pedal is used as a controller. In the presets, a volume pedal
was used which may have different resistance characteristics
than yours. If this causes unpleasant effects (such as runaway
feedback), you will want to modify these presets to suit your
controller.
LoopFoot This indicates an infinite loop patch where Foot1 controls the
amount of signal added to the loop, and Foot2 stops the loop.
With the pedal we used, with Foot1 all the way back, no signal is
added.
Aft indicates that Aftertouch controls the effect.
Mod indicates that a modulation wheel controls the effect.
LoopMIDI This is an infinite loop patch where a mod wheel controls the
signal added, and a sustain pedal stops the loop.
^
indicates an upward pitch shift
MAT (MIDI Auto Tempo) indicates MIDI Clock is used as a
control source — when no MIDI Clock is present, delays default
to 0ms.
The chart on the following pages provides additional comments on each of the
presets provided with your unit. The parameters of each preset, and their values,
can be seen on the LXP-15 display whenever a preset is loaded.
