Page 9: Preset Descriptions
1 Large Hall Algorithm: Chamber A classic Lexicon reverb preset. The hall size is large, with a gentle bloom in the reverberation envelope. The first set of pre-echoes are set to 14 and 20 ms, but are turned off. Turn up the L RefLvl and R RefLvl to add early reflections. - Page 10 A mid-sized hall with most of its activity in the lower frequencies. A very deep and dark reverb. 18 Slap Hall Algorithm: Concert Hall This preset uses the relationships that the parameters have with one another to create a subtle delayed slap effect with no delay parameters! Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 11 A natural reverb for live settings. Smooth and subtle. Perfect for anything you put through it. 29 Slap Room Algorithm: Room A natural room with a subtle, yet unnatural slap back in the reverb tail. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 12 A large, ambient space. Very spacious and breathy on dialog. 40 Phone Booth Algorithm: Ambience A tight environment that is similar to the Iso Booth preset, but a bit more reflective since it’s made out of glass. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 13 Will create the wild sound of a flipped tape reverb! Your source will become 800 ms late so you may need to adjust the placement of the recorded track so that it lines up with your other tracks again. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...

Page 14: Bank2: Applications
Algorithm: Chamber Tuned to add just enough reverb to the snare punch within a mix. 8 Oil Drum Algorithm: Chamber Emulates the reverberant, metallic sound of an oil can. Try on kick drums and deep toms. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum... - Page 15 An enormous, well-tuned hall for all sorts of guitars. Try on acoustic guitars, both nylon and steel strings. Works well for wailing solo guitars as well. 19 Concerto Algorithm: Concert Hall Useful for string sections, quartets and string solos. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 16 A fairly large room with most of the low end taken out of the reverb. Useful on all types of guitars and it won’t muddy the original source. 30 Organ Room Algorithm: Room A nice reverb for rotary sounds. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 17 Adds exceptional depth to acoustic guitars, both nylon and steel strings. Also great on crunching electric guitar chords. 40 Keys Ambience Algorithm: Ambience An ambience subtle enough for acoustic piano, but brash enough for some of the wilder synth sounds. Nice on church organs too. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...
- Page 18 A gentle bloom gives the sensation that this is a hall. Only at the reverb tail does it show its true colors. A nice unnatural reverb for stringed instruments, horns, or even a full orchestra. Lexicon Studio User Guide Addendum...

This can be increased or decreased depending upon the job. The Memory per Channel setting recommended by Lexicon is 768 kB per channel.

5. Lastly, make sure the channel of the audio you wish to process is sending from AuxSend 1 into the PC-90. You now have created a cascade reverb within PC-90.
