USING The MX400 AS A
hARdWARe PLUG-IN
The MX400 comes with VST™ (PC only) and Audio Units (Mac only) software which
allows you to use the MX400 as a Hardware Plug-In. Now you have access to classic
Lexicon® reverbs and effects within your software recording projects, with full auto-
mation and total recall, without burdening your CPU! Using the MX400 with the VST
and Audio Units software works much like any other plug-in you’d use with a DAW,
except that the audio is routed through the MX400 for the signal processing.
