What LX480 Dual-Engine Reverb V4 does
The LX480 complete package contains faithful recreations of reverb algorithms from the Lexicon 480L, and the developer lists several functions that were not found in the original unit. Its algorithms are described as higher in density than any other reverb of that original design. Four routing configurations let the two engines run different algorithms, which the developer says produces an extremely wide reverberation. The LX480 Dual-Engine Reverb V4 is also a multi-effect unit, able to create one-of-a-kind sounds with delays and stereo wideners alongside the reverb engines.
Two of the plugin’s built-in algorithms can run at the same time, so the LX480 offers four distinct engine configurations. An ultra-modern 32-bit high definition reverb algorithm with stereo processing is included as well. The plugin is available as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native support for Apple Silicon listed.
Key features
- Lexicon 480L recreations. The LX480 complete package includes faithful recreations of reverb algorithms from the Lexicon 480L, which the developer presents as the basis of the plugin.
- Dual-Engine routing. Two independent effect engines can run different algorithms, and four routing configurations set how the engines are connected to each other.
- Improved density. The improved algorithms are described by the developer as having higher density than any other reverb of the original design.
- Exclusive additional functions. Functions not found in the original unit are included, and the developer lists them as exclusive to this plugin.
- Quick controls. A set of quick controls can be customized, and the display can be arranged around them.
- 32-bit HD algorithm and multi-effect use. An ultra-modern high definition 32-bit reverb algorithm with stereo processing is included, and delays and stereo wideners can be combined with the reverb in one unit.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed.
Who it is for
The plugin is aimed at mix engineers and producers who want recreations of classic Lexicon reverb algorithms alongside dual-engine routing and the additional functions the developer includes. Sound designers building one-of-a-kind effects with reverb, delays and stereo widening are the other group the developer addresses.
