Lexicon Lambda Desktop Recording Studio - Manual (Page 8)

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lexicon ® Lambda Desktop Recording
Studio™. The Lexicon Lambda Studio is a complete package of hardware and soft-
ware that turns your USB-equipped computer into a professional multitrack recording
workstation. Whether you use it for high-quality stereo location recording with a laptop
computer, or for multitrack overdubbing and mixing in a home studio desktop system
with MIDI synthesizers, the Lambda Studio hardware provides the professional-quality
inputs and outputs, metering, and level controls that computer sound cards or built-in
audio connections lack.
So you can make full use of the Lambda Studio right away, we’ve included the popular
Steinberg
® Cubase ® LE production suite software for PC and Mac computers. Cubase
LE offers integrated multi-track recording, editing and mixing of up to 48 audio tracks,
64 MIDI tracks, VST
® Instruments support, VST plug-in effects support, and an array
of additional features. Lexicon’s Pantheon™ VST reverb plug-in is a major feature of
the Lambda Studio package, providing the lush Lexicon reverbs that have been used on
professional recordings for over thirty years. Alternatively, the Lexicon Lambda Studio
may be used as an interface with almost any other major audio recording software
you may have, such as Steinberg Nuendo
® , Cubase SX ® , MOTU ® Digital Performer ® ,
Garage Band ® , Cakewalk ® Sonar™, and many others.
