Getting Started; Introduction - Lexicon Vortex Mode D'emploi

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of Vor-
tex, the world's first Audio Morphing™ pro-
cessor! You are about to discover that Vortex
sets new standards for sound processing —
for both the type and variety of effects it
produces, and for the musical way in which it
lets you control effects.
Unique effects and exciting performance
capabilities provide lots of room for individual
expression and experimentation. More like a
musical instrument than a passive effects
"black box," Vortex will change the way you
make music.
English
Vortex effects are organized into sixteen
pairs of presets. Each consists of multiple
modulation and delay functions, and each
has its own distinctive sonic signature. Some
are based on combinations of classic effects,
such as echo, rotary speaker, autopan, and
chorus, while others defy verbal description.
All 32 effects share a common set of
sixteen parameters. Changing settings to
customize an effect is fast and easy, and 32
user registers are provided for storing your
own Vortex creations.
Audio Morphing™ allows you to control
dynamic transformations between any two
effects. While this can produce truly mind-
boggling effects, it couldn't be easier to con-
trol — requiring only a single button push.
