PSP Lexicon PSP42x - Next Generation Lexicon Pcm 42 Stereo Delay Emulation.
The Lexicon PSP42 is a powerful digital stereo delay and phrase sampler, inspired by the legendary Lexicon PCM42 processor. This plugin captures the essence of the original hardware, while offering enhanced features and flexibility for the modern producer.
Building on a Legacy:
The PSP42 v2 takes the core concept and sound of the PCM42 to new heights. It meticulously replicates the original's lush tape saturation and unique variable sampling rate delay, while adding even more precise modeling of the hardware's audio path. This allows you to dial in the exact amount of vintage character you desire.
More Than Just Vintage:
Move beyond emulation with PSP42 v2's expanded feature set:
-
Pristine, clean processing mode for modern delays.
- "Lims" mode engages the original hardware's dual opto-limiters for a touch of vintage grit.
-
"Full" mode captures the complete hardware experience, including the PCM42's A/D and D/A converters for a unique sonic fingerprint.
-
Up to 28,800 milliseconds of delay time for extended creative possibilities.
- Adjustable high-cut filter for precise tonal shaping.
- LFO tempo sync and waveform phase adjustment for intricate rhythmic delays.
- Simulate different operating levels with adjustable input sensitivity.
- Invert or sidechain control the envelope controller for advanced modulation sculpting.
-
Four direction modes for various repeat effects, from standard forward delays to complex backward echoes.
- Bypass with retained input limiter adds subtle analog warmth to unprocessed signals.
These powerful new features are presented in an intuitive interface, making them easy to integrate into your workflow.
Unleash Your Creativity:
The PSP42 v2 excels at a wide range of delay effects, from tight, tempo-synced echoes to evolving, modulated textures like flanging and chorus. Its unique modulation capabilities, using the original's technique of manipulating sampling rate, allow you to create everything from subtle movement to otherworldly soundscapes.
Developed with Lexicon's Approval:
Lexicon has officially approved the functionality and sound of the PSP42 v2. While PSP is solely responsible for development, manufacturing, and customer support, you can be confident that this plugin captures the true essence of the legendary PCM42.
