Lexicon MX200

Anyone got one of these?? Im having trouble using it as a VST. Ive installed the drivers and selected the midi bits within my sequencer and still get the message saying it is not found or used by another instance

What sequencer software are you using?

FL7 mate

It is possible that FL7 has no facilities to allow the use of the MX200 as a Hardware VST plugin. For several sequencer packages you have to set the VST plugin up in a special way to get it to function that way. From the maunal:

Steinberg� Cubase SX� users: see information
on �External FX� connections
Logic� Audio users: see information about
�I/O Insert Plug-Ins.�
Cakewalk� Sonar� users: see information
about �Adding Send / Return Effects to a
Bus�

There is no information in the maunal about FL7, so it may not be possible with that software package. You can try the alternate solution below:

To set up a send and return path:

1. Create a Stereo Bus (or two audio busses) that are different from your Main Mix (Master) Bus.

2. Route these busses to the outputs on your audio I/O hardware that you have connected to the MX200 (Either the S/PDIF output, or two analog outputs).

3. In your VST or Audio Units Send Effects Routing options, send the MX200�s effect sends to the Stereo Busses (or Bus Pair) you created in Step 1.

4. Create two audio tracks whose inputs correspond to those you connected to the MX200 (Either the S/PDIF input, or two analog inputs).

5. Route these tracks to the Main Mix (Master) Bus. If you have followed these steps correctly, when you open an instance of the MX200 plug-in, its audio path will lead it to the bus pair you created, which will send the audio to the MX200. The processed audio is then sent from the MX200 through your audio hardware�s inputs to the two audio tracks you created in Step 4, and monitored through the Main Mix Bus, just as you would any audio or plug-in effect.

If none of this works, your only other option is to use it for your hardware synths in the traditional way on your mixer's AUX buses. You will not be able to use is as a VST.
