Unpacking and Inspection
After unpacking the unit, save all packing materials in case you ever need to re-ship. Thoroughly inspect the unit and packing materials for signs of damage.
Report any shipment damage to the carrier at once; report equipment malfunction to your dealer.
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been type tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in
Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designated to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee
thatinterferencewillnotoccurinaparticularinstallation.Ifthisequipmentdoescauseinterferencetoradioortelevisionreception,whichcanbedeterminedbyturningtheequipment
OFF and ON, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: reorient the receiving antenna; relocate the computer with respect
to the receiver; move the computer away from the receiver; plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver are on different branch circuits. If necessary,
the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission helpful: "How to identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems." This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office,

Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of Reflex,
Lexicon's Dynamic MIDI®Reverberator.
Reflexgivesyou8worldclassreverbera-
tion and effects algorithms to enhance any
audio performance. Sixteen preset effects
provide a wide range of superb sounds right
outofthebox,and a bank of 128registersis
available for storing your own customized
effects.—We'veloadedtheregisterswithan
additional 96 sounds to really get you going!
Reflex front panel operation is straight-
forward, with three adjustable parameters
which allow you to make subtle or dramatic
changes to each preset.
AnAdvancedProgrammingModeallows
you to access additional parameters within
each algorithm, providing fine control over
every aspect of the effects. This mode also
givesyoufrontpanelcontroloverUtilityfunc-
tions such as MIDI channel assignment and
register dumps.
Footswitch control allows you to bypass
theeffects,tostepthroughtheregisters,orto
set up register chains to suit your perfor-
mance needs
MIDI Program Change can be used to
access any register, or to bypass Reflex
processing. Beyond simple Program
Change,Reflexletsyou change parameters
in real-time, using MIDI Note Number or
continuous controllers. You can create as
many as 4 patches per effect, controlling
Predelaywith ModWheel,ReverbTimewith
MIDI Notes, etc. Dynamic MIDI™allows
exceptionally expressive performance and
sequencer control.
Two of the algorithms (Chorus and Multi
Taps)allow youtocontrolechorhythmswith
MIDI Clock, so you can synchronize delays
to drum machines and sequencers, vary the
echo repeat rate, and still maintain tempo.
Even deeper control is available through
fullMIDISysEximplementationwhichallows
bidirectional communication with a dedi-
cated controller, such as Lexicon's MRC, or
a personal computer with appropriate soft-
ware. In fact, Reflex is already compatible
withexistingeditorswhichwillrecognizeitas
a member of Lexicon's LXP series.

Setting Audio Levels
1. Turn Reflex INPUTand OUTPUT con-
trols all the way down (fully counter-
clockwise).
2. Connect Reflex inputs to an audio
source, and Reflex outputs to an ampli-
fier or mixer.
3. Apply an input signal at a level that you
typically use.
4. While sending audio to Reflex, gradually
turn up the INPUT control until the Input
Status LED* lights green. Continue to
advance INPUT until the LED lights red
on only the loudest peaks. If the LED is
continuously red, turn the INPUT control
down.
5. If Reflex is using a console's sends and
returns, set the MIX control fully clock-
wise (100% wet). If you are using an
instrument amplifier, start with MIX set
halfway up.
6. Gradually increase the setting of the
OUTPUT control until the audio level
from the amplifier or mixer is approxi-
mately the same as when Reflex is by-
passed.
* The Input Status LED is off when the incoming
signal is low; it lights to indicate acceptable levels
(6dB to 30dB below overload). The LED lights red
whenthesignalapproachesoverload.Acceptable
signals will trigger red flashes only on peaks.

FOOTSWITCH
Tip/Ring/Sleeve phone input, for momentary or
latching contact footswitches, allows footswitch
control of Register Step and Bypass functions.
OUPUT
Single-ended (unbalanced) stereo outputs provide
-2dBu nominal output level. Use the right output
connector for mono output. If no connection is made
attherightoutput, the leftoutputcan be usedtodrive
high-efficiency headphones at modest volume.
INPUT
Single-ended (unbalanced) inputs accept levels
as low as -30dBu. Input impedance is 50 kΩin
stereo, 25 kΩin mono. Use the right for mono
input.
POWER
Use Lexicon MSA power pack,
or 9VAC 1 amp equivalent.
MIDI
MIDI In and Out connectors are provided.
Switching an internal jumper allows selec-
tion of MIDI THRU instead of MIDI OUT.
