LXP плагин ничего общего с LXP железом не имеет, как сами разработчики говорили.
It is not emulating the LXP15... The LXP "branding" is to identify it as their entry level product. Not because it is using those reverbs.
Michael Carnes говорит, что в PCM и LXP используется много общего кода.
Основное отличие отсутствие некоторых алгоритмов (Vintage Plate, Concert Hall, Random Hall) и более простые фильтры/eq. И тем не менее он сам признает, что по звуку LXP плагины очень хороши - по его мнению лучше чем железные PCM81/91, но только не такие гибкие как PCM бандл.
Well, I have to admit to being clean-shaven myself, but let's see what I can do. The PCM and LXP plugs do share quite a lot of common code. But there are a lot of features in the PCMs that aren't in the LXP.
First of all, note that the PCM Room algorithm, Vintage Plate, Concert Hall and Random Hall are not in the LXP bundle. We consider that vintage sound (and the new power of Room) as being some of our premium technology.
Second, if you look at the PCM presets, you'll see variants of every preset (Dark, Light, Band, Notch). That is the result of a more flexible EQ in the PCM plugins (introduced in the PCM96). You can't do variants like that in the LXPs.
So why would anyone want the LXPs? They're very good, that's why. The reverb quality is better than products like the PCM81/91 and the signal purity is much cleaner than the 480L or 300. They're powerful and flexible--just not as much as the PCMs. They're a little easier to program because they have fewer parameters. When we introduced the old LXP boxes, we liked to think they gave you a little chunk of the 480 (which they did). Think of these new plugs as a little chunk of the PCM.
If you're a professional in a commercial or high-end private studio, you're going to want the flexibility of the PCM plugs. If your budget is tighter, you'll still have a lot of high-end Lexicon sound and learn how to slot Lexicon reverbs into your mix.
So you might think that Tony Belmont and I have been saying different things. We really aren't--it's just a matter of emphasis.
ПС:
А вот eще Шон Кастелло признает, что три алгоритма LXP очень близки к PCM и отличаются лишь более простой эквализацией. И совет его: садите LXP на посыл, обрабатывайте вашим EQ и будет вам счастье.
It looks like 3 of the algorithms (Chamber, Hall, Plate) are VERY close to the PCM bundle, but with a much simpler EQ. This won't affect the damping of the reverb decay, just the overall equalization. If you are running your reverb as a send, your DAWs built-in EQs should do the job for you
