Re: vortex
When Lexicon first introduced them, they went for something like $399,
and bombed. It was only after Guitar Center blew them out at like
$129 that they really caught on. Four bills for something that
wouldn't do "the basics" (basic chorus/reverb/delay) and had no MIDI
didn't sit well with the market at the time, and the morphing thing
was too esoteric to go over with the masses.
I remember mine being too sensitive on input headroom, i.e. it didn't
seem to have any. Plus, a fair amount of hiss on several patches and
a crap UI. There were some great sounds in it though.
