The MX200 comes with VST™ and Audio
Units software which allows you to use the
MX200 as a Hardware Plug-In. Now you
have access to classic Lexicon
and effects within your software recording
projects, with full automation and total
recall, without burdening your CPU! Using
the MX200 with the VST and Audio Units
software works much like any other plug-in
you'd use with a DAW, except that the
audio is routed through the MX200 for the
signal processing.
Minimum System Requirements
Audio
I/O hardware with a minimum of two
inputs and four audio outputs.
Windows
P-III, 500MHz or better, WinXP Service
Pack 2 or higher plus a VST-compatible

Units compatible Software Recording
Package
Installing the MX-Edit VST
Hardware Plug-In
Note: If you have already installed the
MX-Edit
software for Mac or WinXP, you
TM
have already installed the VST and/or
Audio Units software. Simply skip this sec-
tion.
For Windows XP users
To install the software in Windows, insert
the disc into your CD-ROM drive and fol-
low the on-screen prompts. (If the Autorun
feature is disabled, browse to the CD and
double-click on the setup.exe file.)
For Mac users

reverbs
the disc icon when it appears. Double-click
®

Connecting the MX200
USB Connection
Make sure the MX200 is powered up and
connected to your computer with a stan-
dard USB cable. (For Windows XP users,
make sure the MX200 is plugged into the
same USB port as when the software was
loaded.)
Audio Connections
To use the MX200 as a hardware plug-in,
your computer needs audio hardware with
multiple audio inputs and outputs available,
at least enough to send and return two
channels from the MX200 plus two addi-
tional outputs to monitor with.
or Audio
TM
For lower latencies and the best audio per-
formance, it is recommended that you con-
nect the MX200 to your computer's audio
I/O device using the S/PDIF Inputs and
outputs. If your I/O device does not have a
S/PDIF connection, or if it already connect-
ed to another device, you may use the
analog connections from your computer's
I/O device to the 1/4" analog inputs and
outputs on the MX200.
Important: The MX200 accepts digital
audio at 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates.
Do not connect any digital device to the
MX200's S/PDIF Input that transmits at any
other sample rate (such as 96kHz). Doing
so can cause unpredictable performance.
Make sure your recording project is set to
