Summary

The Lexicon PSP 42 is a high-quality digital stereo delay and phrase sampler plugin, emulating the legendary Lexicon PCM42 hardware processor. It offers a unique delay sound characterized by tape saturation, variable sampling rate delay, and accurate modeling of original hardware components.

Features

• High-quality signal processing with up to 28,800 ms delay time depending on sampling frequency
• Three processing modes combining clean, limiter, and ADC/DAC emulations
• Tape saturation emulation based on PSP's mastering algorithms
• Variable delay time with tight host tempo synchronization
• Modulation section with multiple waveform sources (sine, square, envelope detector) and LFO tempo sync options
• Four directional modes simulating different play and record behaviors
• Adjustable Hi Cut filter to model high-frequency absorption
• Sidechain input for envelope control, adjustable input level sensitivity (-10 dBV or +4 dBu)
• Phrase sampler capability for capturing and processing audio loops in real time without artifacts
• Bypass mode option retaining input limiter for subtle coloration
• Supports sample rates up to 384 kHz
• Extensive preset library for varied delay and modulation effects

Application

The plugin excels in delay-based effects for vocals, solo instruments, and rhythmic loops. It allows vintage-style delay, flanging, chorus, lo-fi effects via sampling rate modulation, and phrase sampling/test looping. Its modulation and saturation features provide vibrant and warm sound character.

Compatibility and Licensing

Available as AudioUnit, AAX, VST, and VST3 formats for Windows 7 and later (64-bit) and macOS 10.14 and later on Intel and Apple Silicon. Requires free iLok License Manager and iLok user ID for activation, with up to three license locations supported.
