PSPaudioware – Lexicon PSP42 v.1.1.0 VST, VST3, AAX x64

Lexicon PSP42 is a high-quality digital stereo module for sampling delays and phrases, based on the legendary Lexicon PCM42 processor, known for its unique concept and characteristic sound.

Add the legendary sound of the Lexicon PCM 42 Digital Delay to your DAW and enjoy one of the most iconic delay processors.
In version 2, the original design of the Lexicon PSP42 has been refined in both sonic accuracy and functional flexibility. In addition to the powerful tape saturation algorithm and variable-sample-rate delay line emulation that made the original PCM42 so unique, version 2 adds even more accurate hardware audio channel modeling, allowing the user to quickly decide how much of the original sound character to preserve. In addition to the legacy processing mode of the previous version, the Lexicon PSP42 now offers three alternative modes:

Pure: Untouched signal path without emulations

Lims: Enables two original equipment optical limiters, one at the input and one just before the A/D – the first affects both dry and wet signals, the second affects both wet and feedback signals.

Full: Includes emulation of not only the limiters, but also the original A/D converters in the PCM 42 hardware, whose non-linear behavior added a unique sonic twist.

Peculiarities

High-quality signal processing algorithms

Latency up to 28800 ms (depending on internal sampling frequency)

Continuous delay time control

Carefully synchronized with the tempo of the main device

Emulation of tape saturation based on the algorithm used in PSP mastering processors

Emulation of an analog limiter

Emulation of ADC and DAC converter

Four user-defined limiter/saturation modes

Low-pass filter for simulating high-frequency absorption with adjustable cutoff frequency

Modulation section with three different modulation signal sources (sine, square, envelope detector), mixed in any proportion

The LFO can operate in free-running (Hz) and tempo-synced (rhythm/beat) modes.

Four recording/playback direction modes

Side chain for envelope detector

Phrase sampling capability

On-the-fly parameter filtering and transitions for smooth, click-free operation

Supports sampling rates up to 384 kHz

Extensive library of presets
