Arturia has introduced the Rev LX-24, a reverb plugin that faithfully recreates the iconic Lexicon 244 Digital Reverb. This software emulation is not just about paying homage; it provides a versatile range of reverb sounds that suit various modern production needs. The Rev LX-24 plugin features eight classic algorithms, including Small Hall A, Small Hall B, Room A, Constant Plate, Vocal Plate, Large Hall B, Chamber, and Perc Plate, each meticulously modeled to capture the essence of the original hardware.
The plugin’s interface offers a faithful recreation of the Lexicon 244’s look and feel. Users can access all the classic parameters such as delay, bass offset, crossover point, damping, pre-delay time, distance, and mix control. This allows for precise tweaking and customization of the reverb effect to fit different mix contexts.
For those seeking a deeper dive into sound design, Arturia’s Rev LX-24 includes an Advanced view that features a modern graphical interface. This updated view not only provides a contemporary visual approach but also incorporates new features that expand upon the original unit’s capabilities. The Advanced view includes an interactive visualizer display, which offers a click-and-drag editing interface, moving beyond the emulated hardware layout. Additionally, dynamic effects such as ducking, gating, and tremolo are available, adding new dimensions to the reverb sound design.
The Rev LX-24 plugin also provides three emulated converter options: the original 12-bit and 24-bit variants, plus a new Modern option. The Modern converter delivers a cleaner sound with extended high-frequency response, offering an enhanced clarity that meets contemporary production standards.
To assist users in achieving the perfect reverb settings, Arturia has included a comprehensive preset library with the Rev LX-24. This library contains 100 presets designed for various sources, including vocals, drums, synthesizers, and guitars, along with more experimental settings aimed at sound designers.
In terms of compatibility, the Rev LX-24 supports both Windows and macOS platforms. It is available in VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats, and features NKS support for advanced integration with Native Instruments’ hardware controllers.
The Rev LX-24 plugin is currently available at an introductory price of €69, reduced from its full price of €99. This offer is valid until April 23, 2023. With its blend of classic emulation and modern features, the Rev LX-24 plugin promises to be a valuable tool for any producer looking to harness the legendary sound of the Lexicon 244 in their digital audio workstation.
