So when Lexicon launched their PCM Native Reverb bundle earlier this year, it represented a major change of policy, and one that was widely welcomed by studio owners. Many of the established manufacturers of digital effects and processing hardware have been cautious about making their algorithms available in plug‑in format and even when they have made the switch, the likes of Eventide have often stuck to the high‑end Pro Tools TDM protocol rather than create native VST or RTAS plug‑ins.
The cut‑down LXP Native Reverb offers a more affordable, yet still powerful, alternative. Lexicon's flagship PCM Native Reverb bundle is highly desirable, but also costly. Two of the real‑time display options in action: the Plate plug‑in, left, is showing the simple frequency plot, while the Chamber at right displays a scrolling 3D 'waterfall'.
