Lexicon MPX-1 reverb

[klwilbur]

I am trying to get only the processed reverb sound from my lexicon mpx-1 (you know, without the original signal attack... so it sounds like a reverberation comes from nothing). Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful.

The only place I know to change is the "mix" setting in the program. It can be set from 0 to 100%. At 0, I hear the original signal only. At 100, I hear the original signal plus the reverberation.

I am listening straight from the outputs with nothing else mixed in so I know the original signal is not coming from some unknown source... it is coming from the lexicon.

Is there some buried parameter that will allow me to eliminate the original signal.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I just browsed the manual in PDF from their website and the only thing I saw was the dry/wet parameter you referred to. I think I understand the sound you are trying to get, but I'll be damned if I know how to do that.

If you were trying to do this with a sharp percussive sound you might be able to edit out the attack but it would take some awfully careful editing to do that. What about trying to EQ the attack AFTER the reverb to notch out the body of the note? Again, that is gonna be a bitch of a job. Another way might be to reverse the signal, I know that's not what you are after, but maybe by experimenting you could put the reverb ahead of the note.

My only rack effect at this point is an old SDE1000. It has wet and dry outs, but I can't imagine how to get the effect you are describing. I think you are gonna be stuck with the note that triggers the reverb. I know you can get something similer with a spring reverb by knocking it around but that's fairly unpredictable.

Maybe bvaleria has some ideas on this, or sonusman...

The only thing that controls the blend between the dry and effect'd sound is the MIX control...

You could have it miswired - on some gear, if you mix up input and output connections, the signal simply passes thru. Check your wiring.
