Chapter 18: Lexicon 224

If

Display Hold

is set to 1.5 (the default value), after parameters are edited,

the value displayed here reverts after 1.5 seconds to a reverb time which is
related to the combined Bass and Mid slider values. This relationship is based
on approximations designed by the original Lexicon engineers; the actual de-
cay times may not match the displayed value.

Value LED

The Value LED shows the units of the numerical value being displayed for a
particular control. For parameters in the time domain, the “sec” (seconds) or
“ms” (milliseconds) LED is lit. For parameters in the frequency domain, the
“Hz” (Hertz) or “kHz” (kilohertz) LED is lit. For parameters that have no units
value (e.g., Dry/Wet Mix), the value LED does not illuminate.

LED Meters

The six-segment LED meters display the left and right signal input levels at the
Lexicon 224 analog-to-digital converters, which are fully modeled. The Meter
LEDs indicate levels at –24 dB, –18 dB, –12 dB, –6 dB, and 0 dB. When the
0 dB LED illuminates, input clipping has occurred.

Overflow LED

The Overflow LED illuminates when an arithmetic processor overflow has oc-
curred. Overflows can happen when loud signals are present at the input,
when reverb decay times are long, and/or when self-oscillation occurs. Un-
expected sonic artifacts and/or ringing can occur when the processor over-
flows.

Overflow behavior in the hardware is fully modeled in the plug-in. If proces-
sor overflows are causing undesirable sounds, overflow can usually be elim-
inated by reducing the levels with the Input controls, or by reducing the value
of the Bass, Mid, and/or Treble Decay controls.
