very cool..wonder how the famous lexicon reverb sounds on that system!

[Syn-Fi]

Hi
this thing sounds amazing, in fact it got me hooked on to Lexicon whose reverbs work a treat on dense sounds like synths, guitars etc.    I first installed it in a G4 MDD but it didn't work and finally had joy with a G3 Beige but i can't get it to work standalone and without Cubase VST.  I have tried a VST host but i couldn't quite get it to work, maybe i should try again.  Right now its in a windows 98 machine because it can work standalone but its not massively stable.  It would be great to try it with a external PCI magma chassis and with a G4 Mini but Magma's cost a lot even now.

There is another Lexicon card called the NuVerb and you need NuBus for that.

I'm a sucker for obsolete tech that i couldn't afford when i was a kid but is now available for peanuts.

from the article it looks like it was initially launched solely for the win98 platform
the article mentions lack of drivers for win95 + mac os..

http://web.archive.org/web/19990224203717/http://www.lexicon.com/studio/homeframe.htm

drivers were launched for mac os some 6mths-1 year following its initial release

January 4, 1999: NOW AVAILABLE: DOWNLOAD the Lexicon Studio V4.10 drivers, now with support for the Macintosh as well as the PC!!!

The Core-32 System Card, a full-size PCI card for both PC and Macintosh computers is capable of supporting 32 audio streams simultaneously.
The Core-32 has the capability be used as a time code master or slave, or a clock master or slave and has an on-board variable rate oscillator, for lock to time code from external sources.
The PC-90 Digital Reverb daughterboard clips on conveniently to the Core-32 System Card, providing 2 discrete stereo reverbs. The PC-90 uses the exact DSP architecture from our award-winning PCM 90.
The LDI-12T interfaces with Lexicon Studio, providing up to 12 channels of simultaneous I/O supporting analog (+4 XLR and -10 RCA), s/pdif, and ADAT. The LDI-12T also provides a balanced XLR longitudinal time code input.
Lexicon Studio directly supports Steinberg Cubase VST, and also will interface with any application that supports the Multimedia I/O driver standard for the PC. Companies added to the Lexicon partnership program will be announced as information is made available.

so yes the macs current at the time would be what the drivers are tweaked for.. which would be
mac os 8.x on a 1998 mac http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_year/macs-released-in-1998.html
which would be the beige g3 tower

they probably tested it with macs from 1997 too http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_year/macs-released-in-1997.html
which would also include the
7600
8600
9600
