Effect Mix/Routing; Stereo And Dual Stereo Configurations - Lexicon MX500 Owner's Manual

Using the MX500

effect mIX/routIng

Each of the MX500 programs offers programmable effect routing and a wet/dry mix
parameter for each effect. These different routings and mix controls give you many
options for your effect signal path and precise control over balance between the two
effects. In Dual Stereo Configuration programs, Effects 1 and 2 are used by Program A
(the program shown in the top half of the Program Display), while Effects 3 and 4 are
used by Program B (the program shown in the bottom half of the Program Display).
Routings for all configurations are as follows:

Stereo and dual Stereo confIguratIonS

The Stereo configuration can load either a single effect or a dual effect from the User
or Factory bank. Each bank contains 99 presets for this configuration.
The Dual Stereo configuration can load a single effect or dual effect into Processor A
and a single effect or dual effect into Processor B. The User and Factory banks each
contain 99 presets for this configuration.
1. Dual Mono
This routing option sends the Left and Right input signals through Effect 1/3 and
Effect 2/4 respectively. Each signal is then routed to its respective output, completely
independent from the other.
2. Cascade
Left and Right input signals are sent first through Effect 1/3, then through Effect 2/4,
then routed as a stereo signal to their respective outputs.
3. Parallel (Dual Stereo)
Left and Right input signals are sent through both effects independently. The output
signals of both Effects are then mixed together, and routed to both the outputs as a
single stereo signal.
