What am I doing wrong? I bought the Lexicon MX200, connected it to Roland Quad Capture Interface using SP/DIF cables. I am seeing the MX200 as a plug-in. The problem is, when I click on MX-Edit, I am

Do you mean the Roland E-09 or another Roland product? You need a MIDI to USB In/Out converter. Make sure that the converter is supported by the manufacturer with your OS version. One example is https://www.amazon.com/Converter-LiDiVi-Professional-Keyboard-Adapter/dp/B071KLC884 . This is a USB 2.0 device that works with Windows XP through Windows 10 and Mac OS X. A few others are reviewed here: https://www.musicrepo.com/best-selling-midi-interfaces-the-ultimate-top-10/ . You may need to be connected to the internet and allow your computer to obtain drivers for other devices. Connect the cable appropriately. Turn on the Roland device and make sure that your OS sees the USB device before launching your software. Note: Audacity can only import a MIDI file as a Note Track, https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Midi . You'll need additional software to capture the MIDI from the device. Some options are listed at the bottom of the Wiki page above. You may need to try several options to find a program that you like.
I hope this helps. I'm not familiar with FL Studio's menu. I haven't used Audacity's MIDI features. I use the software to digitize audio from Line In and microphone.
If unt was dropped, look for broken PC board in the vicinity of the rotary encoder. Also look at solder connections to make sure they are sound. A little contact cleaner applied to encoder through an opening so the spray gets inside will help clean contacts. If the knob itself is hard to turn, the shaft is likely bent, and there may be damage to the encoder itself.
Make sure you are using BALANCED cables either XLR or TRS. Make sure ALL interconnected equipment is powered from the same receptacle. Make sure the level to the Lexicon is line level as using excessive gain at its input will admit noise.
Check that: You are using BALANCED interconnection lines (TRS or XLR) everywhere. Low quality cables can cause or let in noise and hiss.
Check that ALL, and I mean ALL interconnected equipment is powered from the SAME receptacle or power conditioner.
Check that you are not using a noisy source or recording system like the internal audio of a PC for instance.
Short the inputs to ground and see if the output noise goes away. Some effects are noisy because the inut signal after effects gets added back into the output.
You haven't described your setup and without that information there is not much more I can add. Ferreting out noise is one of my specialties. In general your input level should NOT be too small as this leads to less signal to noise ratio due to digitizing noise. Look at the Lexicon specs to find what the levels should be. Without the description of your setup I can add no more...
hello I have the same problem, I'm told that updating the firmware of the Lexicon MX200 is solved but it turns out that my pc does not recognize the device via USB to update, any solution? thank you very much
DO NOT use universal adapters to run these devices. Accidents are too easy and often the universal devices do no have adequate filtering. You are off on the wrong foot to start with as this unit does NOT have a polarity since it REQUIRES an AC adpter, not a DC one. What you have WILL NOT WORK. If you have connected it, it should NOT have caused damage, you just won't get any audio out, even if the unit lights up on one polarity. The unit generates both polarities inside using the AC input.
Sorry but... Very simply, you CANNOT use a condenser mic with the Alpha since it does not supply the required Phantom power for the mic. You must step up to another interface to use condenser mics. You can use dynamic mics with the Alpha or other audio sources. I use a Roland/Cakewalk UA25E interface with condenser mics and also the Lexicon Omega which does have Phantom power for the mics..
