Intuitive, customizable layout for all
You don’t have to be a professional audio engineer to reap the benefits of the Rev LX-24 — its user-friendly interface is ideal for all! It offers an impressive aesthetic that honors the original unit, with the option to switch to Advanced View for a more modern control layout. One of Advanced View’s more valuable features is a visualizer that provides feedback and click-and-drag editing of your reverb sounds, all in real time! And while we’re on the topic of old school vs. new school, Arturia allows you to operate with both Vintage 12- and 24-bit converter emulation and modern converters, affording you the choice between darker and brighter sound response, respectively. Even keep track of your transformations with a dedicated A/B comparison!
