Audio Deluxe has Nomad Factory _ 80's Spaces @ $39. and NF Site has free demo download.

I searched a lot and purchased MPX Native. Waaay early for me to critique for you, but so far I'm quite pleased. It also has a Demo to try.
iLok seems to vary with products, but you should load the iLok License Mgr to check if Lexicon MPX can be Activated on your PC vs iLok Dongle. Some products work well this way.
Good luck!

What's the difference between this version of the reverb (MPX) and the version included in the Native Reverb Bundle? thx

This is whats putting me off too tbh. Another USB port sacrificed... another piece of software hanging around in the background (iLok manager).
Unless I find out that the MPX Native is too immense to pass up for $29 that is. Hence this thread.

fwiw why don't you just get VVV again? It's a great reverb, from a wonderful developer.
I don't have MPX but from my understanding it's limited, most users rave about PCM I don't hear people raving about MPX like we hear about VVV.
I have VVV and imo it's a bargain for $50.

~~ $270. …..
{ The MPX Native Reverb Plug-in delivers that legendary “Lexicon sound” through a single polymorphic plug-in with seven different reverb types:
Small Plate, Large Plate, Small Hall, Large Hall, Small Chamber, Large Chamber, Room } 100 Presets tho.
-----------------------------------------------------
@ goalie composer
( or Demo VRoom ). I picked up MPX instead due to cost difference _ got down to ~$23. at JRRShop. )
Have VPlate and very comfortable with Valhalla verbs.

Funnily enough I was pondering re-buying it.
I sold VVV because I thought I hadn't used it much. Then I opened some old projects and got a lot more "VVV is missing" warnings. So I used it more than I reckoned. Strange thing though - I never fell in love with it. Perhaps I should try V-Room or something else? I think VVV is their latest though.
I posted a thread and even emailed Valh' support before buying it asking, "which one of your verbs is best for cinematic-orchestral?" and they recommended VVV. I could probably pick it back up for $35 used somewhere, thats the going price. At the moment I'm not sure about it tbh.

For Cinematic /Orchestral I don't know if VVV would actually be my choice.
I'm a bit of a Reverb junkie.........
I have & love Liquidsonics Seventh Heaven is amazing it sells for $69,it will probably sell for $49 Black Friday or during the Holiday's,it's simply stunning!
It's different price range have you ever checked out Breeze 2? I suspect there will be a sale soon. During the summer it was on sale for $75,it's great!!
fwiw many times when Lexicon has had sales I've noticed many people who bought MPX or LPX wished they had spent more and gotten PCM native, granted it's way more $$$$ ($237 at Audio deluxe) but it's a great bundle.
I went with Exponential reverbs for the Lexicon sound again pricey not in the $29 or $50 range but very Lexicon inspired(the developer was the creator of many of the Lexicon reverbs before he left and started his own company)I have PhoenixVerb, R2, Nimbus and Excalibur they're great but pricey.
IMO for Cinematic/Orchestral I recommend Seventh Heaven or Breeze 2 during a sale
Good luck

4/7 Reverb algorithms (e.g. Random Hall is missing), less tweakability?

Dont own that much software and the ones with ilok dont need a dongle just online licensing

When it comes to reverbs I'm a novice. I don't actually know what "makes a good reverb". I know that a stereo convolution reverb is better than a mono one, I know that the ability to EQ off the muddy low end is essential, but pretty much all reverbs have that facility. What makes one better than the other?
I read that convolution reverbs are better for orchestral stuff, and algorithmic ones better for EDM genre. VVV is algorithmic.
That is the extent of my knowledge basically.
Seventh Heaven is iLok, and I think you have to buy the iLok separately.

Then there is the feeling. How you receive the reverb sound how it makes you vibrate and how it makes you understand the space and the atmosphere. It's a story of taste and personal choice. It's up to you to create your own sound universe. You can also, with it, place the instruments in front, behind, in old or famous sound spaces with pleasant acoustics or in unknown spaces to explore, to create. It must highlight the timbre of your instruments without distorting them and make them tell a story or participate in the construction of new tones.
Which one do you prefer below :

thanks - hard to know the "feeling" of a plugin before you buy it though - most of these don't have demos. And feeling probably grows on you.

Yes, but Lexicon, Waves (IR1), EW Spaces II and Valhalla .. have demo versions of their effect modules.
