Has anyone tried any of these newer Lexicon boxes (MX500 &
MX400) that have USB or FW interfaces that allow them to be used
as VST plugins? If so, whaddya think? Do they sound good AND
work properly in that application?

The MX 300 sounds very good. I was trying to interface it with a PTLE system
using the FXpansion RTAS/VST wrapper and it didn't work. Never tried it on
my Cubase rig. All the software does is allow you to tweak parameters
onscreen for that one instance. This would save you a physical I/O in your
rig and make it easier to tweak. What needs to happen is to have one of
these where you can instantiate a number of instances of the unit, tweak the
parameters, freeze them and then open up another one, do the same, etc. I
would think you could somehow pull this off but I never tried.

I was just thinking of using it as a group send/return-
type 'verb; I wouldn't need a bunch of instances of it, just one
or two. It says these are dual-engine units; does the USB
interface allow you to access two separate instances or sets of
i/o's?

I don't know. I used the MX 300 and it's just a stereo unit.

;o)
