Congratulations and thank you
for purchasing the PCM Native Effects Plug-in Bundle, an artful blend of seven Lexicon® multi
effects plug-ins including: Chorus, Dual Delay, MultiVoice Pitch, Pitch Shift, Random Delay,
Resonant Chords and Stringbox. With decades of legacy products to pull from, the PCM Native
Effects Bundle includes the finest collection of factory presets available. Designed to bring the
highest level of sonic quality and functionality to all of your audio applications, the PCM Native
Effects Bundle will take center stage in your DAW.
Quick Start
• Choose one of the seven Lexicon plug-ins. Each plug-in contains a different algorithm:
It can be as simple or as in-depth as you’d like. The hundreds of included presets work well for
most situations, but you can easily adjust any parameter and save any preset. See the “Factory
Presets” section for more information on editing, loading and saving presets.
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The Installer should start automatically.
If the Installer doesn’t start automatically, you can start it manually by opening the appropriate
file on the CD:
Mac®: Use the “.dmg” installation file
Windows®: Use the “32-bit.exe” or “64-bit.exe” installation file
Once the Installer is open, follow the on-screen instructions to install the software you wish to
use.
iLok License
You must download the license to your 2nd Generation iLok USB smart key before running any
program that might use these plug-ins. If a valid iLok license is not present, the initial plug-in
validation scan will fail and you may not be able to run the plug-ins without digging into your
system. For more information go to www.iLok.com.
Important! Your PCM Native Effects Bundle will not work without
!
an authorized 2nd Generation iLok USB smart key inserted in your
computer’s USB port!

First Look—The User Interface
Overview
When the plug-in is instantiated, you will see a window that looks something like this:
Algorithm Name
Level Meters
Preset
Category
Preset
Selector
Realtime
Display
Control Buttons
Stereo/Phase
Analyzers
Fader
Area
2
Level Meters
Shows the input, output and feedback levels. The Feedback meters measure the energy level
being fed back into the beginning of the delay line.
Algorithm Name
Displays the name of the currently selected algorithm.
Preset Category
Presets for the algorithm are grouped into categories to make them easier to find. Clicking
in this area will show the list of categories. Selecting a category will load the presets for that
category in the Preset Selector.
Preset Selector
Displays the list of presets within the selected category. Selecting a preset from the list will
cause the preset to be loaded into the plug-in.
Realtime Display
Three unique visualizations help you to see inside the effect. See the “Realtime Display” section
for more detailed information.
Control Buttons
These buttons are used to compare, edit, reload and store presets. This is explained in more
detail in the “Control Buttons” section of this manual.
Stereo/Phase Analyzers
These tools provide a visual of the phase response and perceived stereo image of the
processed signal. See the “Stereo/Phase Analyzers” section for more detailed information.
Fader Area
Parameter values are shown and controlled in this area. This is explained in more depth in the
“Fader Area” section of this manual.
3
The Realtime Display
The realtime display window allows you to visualize the effect in three ways. While your ears will
always be the primary tool in choosing and adjusting presets, the displays provide a direct way to
see what’s going on. Click anywhere in the realtime display window to change the view.
4
Off
This display mode shows only the algorithm name.
It is the default view for the plug-in and requires the
least amount of CPU cycles.
3-D Voice View
This display shows a 3-D view of each individual
voice. Each voice (feedback or output) is displayed
on screen using a vertical hollow frame. The frame
is filled by the measured real-time level in the voice,
and therefore, acts as a meter (0dB = full scale). The
depth represents logarithmic delay time and the x
axis represents pan.
Frequency
This display shows the frequency levels of the left
and right output signals.
Live Impulse Response
This display shows a live impulse response of the
left and right output signals.
5
The Stereo/Phase Analyzers
These analysis tools provide visualizations of the output signal’s stereo image and phase
response.
Lissajous Figure
Window
Stereo Width Meter
Lissajous Figure Window
This window displays the signal’s stereo width and phase response, represented using a
Lissajous figure as would be seen on an Oscilloscope. The width of the stereo image is
displayed by how far out, from center, the lines spread. The phase response is displayed by the
slant of the overall graph, where a thin vertical line represents mono/in-phase content and a thin
horizontal line represents completely uncorrelated/out of-phase-content.
Stereo Width Meter
This meter shows the perceived width of the stereo image in a different way. A mono signal
will show very little level, a true stereo signal will display a moderately wide level, and out-ofphase signals will display a very wide level. The widest signals may exhibit problems with mono
compatibility, so they should be monitored. The left and right side of this meter will always show
identical level. The greater (wider) the meter level, the wider the stereo image will be perceived.
6
The Fader Area
The fader area may be populated by up to nine faders. This illustration shows what may be
found for each fader.
Parameter

Button
Fader
Parameter Name
Shows the parameter being adjusted.
Parameter Value
Shows the current value of the parameter. This field may be directly edited.
Modifier Button
This button only appears for certain types of parameters. It controls aspects of the parameter.
Fader
Changes the value of the parameter. May be dragged, control-dragged (for higher resolution)
or may be controlled by the mouse wheel.
7
The Control Buttons
These buttons let you access all of a preset’s parameters, manage presets, and compare
changes you’ve made to the original settings.
Compare
The Compare button temporarily resets all parameters to the original preset value. It is used to
get back to the original preset and quickly audition your edits verses the original preset. When
compare is on, all parameters are frozen and cannot be changed. Turning compare off returns
you to your edits. Choosing a different preset cancels compare mode.
Edit
Clicking the Edit button enters “Pro” mode. Here you can adjust all parameters and configure
the soft row. See the “Edit Navigation and Full Edit Mode” section for more detailed
information.
Reload
Clicking the Reload button reloads the current preset, overriding all user edits.
Store
The Store button allows you to create and manage user presets. See the “Storing and
Managing Presets” section for more information.
8
Edit Navigation and Full Edit Mode
When the Edit button is clicked, an additional row of buttons appear along the lower portion
of the plug-in. The names and number of buttons vary among algorithms. Clicking one of
the buttons will bring up an edit page holding parameters related to the button name. Those
parameters may be edited until the desired sound is achieved.

The Soft Row
When the plug-in is first instantiated, a number of parameters appear. This page of parameters
is called the “Soft Row”. These parameters were chosen as being the most useful parameters
for a particular preset. In most cases, we’ve tried to make a consistent set of choices, but many
presets call for different parameters. For most people, the soft row is all that’s needed.
Customizing the Soft Row
The soft row assignments are part of the preset. You can change the soft row assignments and
store the preset as a User Preset. To do this, press the Edit button to go into edit mode then
press the button for Soft Row. The plug-in will look something like this:
2. Click
Soft Row
In the modifier button area, just above the fader, you will see the name of the parameter that is
assigned to that position in the soft row. Clicking on any of these parameter buttons reveals a
list of all the algorithm’s parameters. Select a parameter (or “no selection”) from the list, and
that parameter is then assigned to the soft row. The assigned parameter is still available on its
original edit page, but now it appears in the soft row as well.
You can assign any parameter to the soft row. You can even assign the same parameter more
than once. When you’re done, store it as a User Preset and you’ll always be able to recall the
preset with your customized soft row.
