Lexicon PSP42 is a high-quality digital stereo delay and phrase sampler, created on the basis of the legendary Lexicon PCM42 processor, known for its unique concept and characteristic sound.
Version 2 enhances the original Lexicon PSP42 concept in both sonic fidelity and functional flexibility. In addition to the tape saturation algorithm and variable sample rate delay line emulation that made the original PCM42 sound so unique, version 2 adds even more accurate modeling of the hardware’s audio path, allowing the user to quickly decide how much original character should be used. In addition to the previous version’s Legacy processing mode, the Lexicon PSP42 now offers three alternative modes:
- Clean: clean signal path without emulations.
- Lims: uses two original hardware optolimiters, one at the input, the other just before the ADC – the first acts on the Dry and Wet signals, the second on the Wet and Feedback signals.
- Full: Enables emulation of not only limiters, but also the original ADCs and DACs in hardware PCM 42, whose non-linear behavior adds a unique sonic twist.
- High-quality signal processing algorithms.
- Latency up to 28800 ms (depending on internal sampling rate).
- Continuous control of delay time.
- strict synchronization with the tempo of the carrier.
- Tape saturation emulation using the algorithm used in PSP mastering processors.
- Analog limiter emulation.
- Emulation of A/D and D/A converters.
- Four custom limiter/saturation modes.
- Low pass filter to simulate high frequency absorption with adjustable cutoff frequency.
- Modulation section with three different modulating signal sources (sine, square, envelope detector), mixed in any proportion.
- The LFO can operate in freewheel (Hz) and tempo (beats/bars) modes.
- Four recording/playback direction modes.
FIX:
- Infinity mode allows you to set the delay by pressing the up/down buttons – fixed.
- Glitches or sound crashes at sampling rates greater than 96 kHz – fixed.
- Different wet sound signal levels at sampling rates greater than 48 kHz – fixed.
- Different signal levels after switching to DLYx2 mode – fixed.
- ‘Manual’ parameter with too low filtering – fixed.
- Floating loop point for reverse and bounce directions – fixed.
- Logic Pro (macOS only) pink screen when editing values - fixed.
