Born to Revolve
There is something uniquely powerful about the sound of a vintage rotary speaker system. The organic chorusing as the treble horn and bass rotor start speeding up. The grit of the internal tube-driven amplifier, creating additional harmonics that spin around the room. Plug into Lex, close your eyes, and be transported by this classic sound, recreated with astonishing realism and depth for your pedalboard.

Features:

- Horn Level, Mic Distance, & Mic position parameters give unique tonal control
- Speed Knob works in tandem with Slow/Fast footswitch for seamless shifts of motion effects
- Hold Slow/Fast switch to mimic rotary brake ramps speed down to stop and ramps back up when you let go
- Preamp Drive adds some dirt & tasteful textures
- Bi-Amp Mode splits the output to send horn signal to the left output & the woofer signal to the right output
- Use Live Edit to allow for routing directly into an audio interface or FR speakers instead of a guitar amp
- High impedance ultra low-noise discrete Class A JFET TRS stereo input.
- Low impedance independent TS stereo outputs.
- Expression pedal input allows the connection of a TRS expression pedal, MiniSwitch, MultiSwitch Plus, or TRS MIDI connection.
- USB jack for controlling via MIDI from a computer or for performing firmware updates.
- Dedicated Slow/Fast rotary speed & On/Off footswitches
- Premium JFET analog front end
- Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters provide… read more uncompromising audio quality

The Complete Rotary Speaker System
Lex provides you with a complete, accurately reproduced rotary speaker system: the low-frequency bass rotor, the rotating treble horn, the tube-driven amplifier, finely tuned microphone placement, and all the complex sonic interactions between these elements. Powerful, intuitive controls mean you can quickly dial in just the customized sound you desire.

MIDI
Full MIDI implementation means you can control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Lex's EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection. Rotor speed can be synchronized via MIDI Clock Sync, and the sync setting can be saved for each preset. 300 MIDI preset locations are available for loading and saving your favorite settings.

Hardware Improvements
A premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness to your playing, and you can select mono or stereo input with the flick of a rear panel switch. All this, plus a powerful ARM DSP chip provides more processing power for every sonic nuance, with less energy consumption on your pedalboard.

User Interface
A more powerful and intuitive user interface gives you instant control over mic position and distance, dry level, acceleration speed, volume boost/cut, and easy customization of rotor speed. Everything you need for the full rotary speaker experience is at your fingertips.
