| I have it here for testing too. I played with it for some time. The simplicity of controls and user interface are amazing comparing to PCM-91 (which is quite horrible in this sense). It has few very cool control parameters for each preset: like modulation and density. Increasing "modulation" values, the reverb gets more "lush", coming closer to a "Lexicon mood".
I tried it on few of my solo instruments (flute, monochord, viola and also full power ethnic drums) and compared directly to PCM-91. For longer halls (I used Large Hall and few of the church presets), Bricasti seems to have clearer sound and more obvious depth, while Lexicon has a bit more "space" or "poetry" (being a bit less deep and dense). Of course, the presets are not identical, but for the little I tried, I felt I slightly prefer Lexicon sound for the "spheric" solo instruments, Bricasti halls reminded me somehow the TC type of nice, clean reverbs.
Then I tried few plates on full power ethnic drums. Here again, Bricasti sounded a bit denser and cleaner (it was obvious when listening just to 100% wet reverb sound), Lexicon plates were tiny bit less focused, but overall bringing slightly different type of sound (more spacy ?). But again - the presets are not identical on both, so the comparison is just approximate. For drums I would probably prefer Bricasti.
I will try more today.
There is however one drawback for me: quite audible fan noise. On recommendation, I put it out from the transport rack it arrived in, now it is just put free on the top of rack, the fan started less, but after some time, it went on again full power and did not stop ... A bit disturbing for me.
Led, do you hear it too ?l |
