Optimization
Decay Optimization improves the Lexicon 224 reverb clarity and naturalness
by dynamically reducing reverb diffusion and coloration in response to input
signal levels. However, if set too high, it can make the decay less even. Decay
Optimization has two control elements: Enable and Amount.
Decay Optimization is factory-optimized for each program and should not re-
quire adjustment in typical use. For this reason, it was deliberately made dif-
ficult to access in the original hardware. However, creative use of the param-
eter is encouraged by making it easier to access in the plug-in.
Decay Optimize
Enable
This button enables Decay Optimization for the active program. De-
cay Optimization is active when the button LED is lit. The default
state is ON.
Note:
Decay Optimization is unavailable for P8 Constant Density
Plate A and P9 Chorus.
Decay Optimize
Amount
These two adjacent buttons control the amount of Decay
Optimization. Click the left (“<“) button to decrement
the value; click the right (“>”) button to increment the
value. The available range is 1 through 16. As in the
original hardware, lower values make the result more
prominent.
Note:
The Decay Optimization Amount controls have no effect unless the De-
cay Optimization Enable control is active.
Mix Controls
The Dry, Wet, and Solo parameters control the effect
mix in the plug-in. These controls are not available in
the original hardware.
Note:
The Mix controls are global parameters; their
state does not change when different programs are se-
lected.
