Program Descriptions

P1 Small Concert

Hall B

This program emulates the sound of a small concert hall, with moderate initial
density and moderately non-uniform decay. It is optimized for reverb times of
1.5 to 5 seconds (for longer decay times, P3 Large Concert Hall B is recom-
mended instead). The most natural sound is obtained when Bass and Mid are
relatively close to the same setting. This program uses the exact same algo-
rithm as P3 Large Concert Hall B.

P2 Vocal Plate

This is a plate reverb emulation optimized for voice. It has low initial density
and coloration, resulting in a clear, bright sound. This program uses the exact
same algorithm as P5 Percussion Plate A, but with slightly different inherent
diffusion.

P3 Large Concert

Hall B

This program emulates the sound of a large concert hall, with low density and
minimal coloration. It is optimized for long reverb times. With percussive
sounds, increasing the diffusion value is recommended. This program uses the
exact same algorithm as P1 Small Concert Hall B.

P4 Acoustic

Chamber

This program sounds like a chamber, but with less initial density. It tends to
sound best with shorter reverb times (2 to 5 seconds). The most chamber-like
sound is obtained with

Depth

at a value of zero. Diffusion is preset in this pro-

gram and cannot be modified. Unlike all other Lexicon 224 programs, this al-
gorithm has monophonic input.

P5 Percussion

Plate A

This is a plate reverb emulation optimized for percussive sounds. It has high
initial density and coloration, and sounds best with shorter reverb times. This
program uses the exact same algorithm as P2 Vocal Plate, but with slightly dif-
ferent inherent diffusion.

P6 Small Concert

Hall A

This program is similar to P1 Small Concert Hall B, except it is brighter overall
and the

Treble Decay

control is more gentle. The original hardware manual

recommends equalizing this reverb return about +3 dB below 200 Hz to
“add to the richness and naturalness of the reverb.”

P7 Room A

Program 7 is a room simulator with moderate to high initial density and low
to moderate coloration. It sounds great on speech and many types of music.
This program presents an especially wide output when used with a stereo in-
put source.
