The MX200 comes with VST™ and Audio

Units software which allows you to use the

MX200 as a Hardware Plug-In. Now you

have access to classic Lexicon

®

reverbs

and effects within your software recording

projects, with full automation and total

recall, without burdening your CPU! Using

the MX200 with the VST and Audio Units

software works much like any other plug-in

you’d use with a DAW, except that the

audio is routed through the MX200 for the

signal processing.

Installing the MX-Edit VST

Hardware Plug-In

Note: If you have already installed the

MX-Edit

TM

software for Mac or WinXP, you

have already installed the VST and/or

Audio Units software. Simply skip this sec-

tion.

For Windows XP users

To install the software in Windows, insert

the disc into your CD-ROM drive and fol-

low the on-screen prompts. (If the Autorun

feature is disabled, browse to the CD and

double-click on the setup.exe file.)

For Mac users

To install on a Mac, insert the disc into

your CD-ROM drive and double-click on

the disc icon when it appears. Double-click

on the MX200.dmg.hqx file to extract and

run the installer. Follow the on-screen

prompts to install the software.

Connecting the MX200

USB Connection

Make sure the MX200 is powered up and

connected to your computer with a stan-

dard USB cable. (For Windows XP users,

make sure the MX200 is plugged into the

same USB port as when the software was

loaded.)

Audio Connections

To use the MX200 as a hardware plug-in,

your computer needs audio hardware with

multiple audio inputs and outputs available,

at least enough to send and return two

channels from the MX200 plus two addi-

tional outputs to monitor with.

For lower latencies and the best audio per-

formance, it is recommended that you con-

nect the MX200 to your computer’s audio

I/O device using the S/PDIF Inputs and

outputs. If your I/O device does not have a

S/PDIF connection, or if it already connect-

ed to another device, you may use the

analog connections from your computer’s

I/O device to the 1/4” analog inputs and

outputs on the MX200.

Important: The MX200 accepts digital

audio at 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates.

Do not connect any digital device to the

MX200’s S/PDIF Input that transmits at any

other sample rate (such as 96kHz). Doing

so can cause unpredictable performance.

Make sure your recording project is set to
