You want the rich, luscious sound that’s defined studio reverb for  three decades: a genuine Lexicon hardware processor. But you also  want the flexibility of programming high-quality effects right inside  your DAW program…without bogging down your  CPU or resorting to expensive processing cards.  Have it all with the MX400.

All parameters  of every reverb, delay and dynamic effect in this  powerhouse quad processor are available inside any  VST® or AU compatible DAW program. Just link  your computer to the MX400 with a USB cable  and control all automation and recall parameters  exactly as you would with any software plug-in  — while enjoying the sonic benefits only Lexicon  hardware can provide.

Along with our unique “hardware plug-ins”  for PC and Mac®, we’ve also included MX-Edit™  Librarian software so you can store and recall  custom programs or pull up your choice of 223  genuine Lexicon settings including 25 dedicated  Surround Programs.

At its heart, the MX400 is everything you would  expect from the company that invented digital  reverberation. Seventeen Lexicon reverbs, delays  and modulation effects plus dbx® compression and  de-essing. A generous LCD display and big comfy  knobs you can get  your hands around.

Lexicon MX400

Rating: 9/10


The first unit I got was malfunctioning but I had great support from Dolphin music and Lexicon and they shipped me a new one that works fine.
I do computer based music so I will focus more on that.

I\'ve used a few software verb plug-in, like UAD 2 Realverb, ableton reverbs, reverbs included in protools etc. but nothing I\'ve tried sounds as good as this. It is not an obvious difference in creative FX but in natural sounding reverbs, it does make a difference. Reverb is a complex and CPU demanding effect so it’s probably the first effect you would want to go \"hardware\" with.

The Lexicon MX400 has two processors (A and B) so you can have two different effects running at the same time. I usually use a natural verb on a return track for mixing purposes, without plug-in, and free the other processor to use in creative effects, like chorus or delays. The plug-in allows for quick loading of presets (factory and user).
I use SPDIF connections an XLR and I get excellent sound quality, zero noise. The plug-in and standalone is great, you can quickly jump between presets and save your own presets. It’s possible to automate parameters from the DAW. This means full hardware/software integration. The USB connection is stable and the plug-in doesn’t load the CPU.
