Using the MPX R1
with Other MIDI
Devices
The MPX R1 can be used as a stand-alone controller for any standard MIDI
device. When used this way, the MPX R1 transmits MIDI Program Change and
Control Change messages, and controls the built-in 4-state relay.
Connect a 5-pin DIN MIDI cable between the MPX R1 rear panel OUT/REMOTE
jack and MIDI IN jack of the device you wish to control. Connect the Lexicon MSA
Adapter between the POWER jack on the MPX R1 and a wall outlet.
To control multiple devices, connect MIDI cables between the MIDI IN ports of
each new device and the THRU ports of each preceding device.
When the MPX 1 powers up, it will default to Program Mode. The MPX R1 should
also power up in Program Mode. (FX button LED should be off.) In this mode,
the MPX R1 sends MIDI Program Change and Bank Select messages to load
MPX 1 programs.
These four switches transmit information regardless of the mode of operation.
They can be programmed to output an of the sources listed in Edit: FX Mode.
The first two digits on the display indicate the bank number. The third digit
indicates the program number. The BANK
buttons select banks, and switches
0-9 select programs within the displayed bank. Programs are loaded whenever
one of the numbered switches is pressed.
To load a new program within the same bank, press any of the numbered
switches (0-9).
To select a program in a different bank, press the BANK
buttons to step to the
bank you want, or hold down either button to scroll through the numbers. The
rightmost digit, which is reserved for program numbers, will turn off during bank
selection. Once you have selected the bank you want, press the numbered
switch to load the desired program within that bank.
