The MPX R1 is capable of simultaneously outputting multiple MIDI Program
Change messages (called Setups) on as many as eight different MIDI channels.
It can access any MIDI channel and transmit Program Change messages in real
time. Each of these applications is described in this section.
A Setup consists of as many as eight MIDI Program Change messages and one
relay state. The MPX R1 can be programmed with as many as 100 Setups.
To activate Setups or Direct Device Control from Program mode you must select
4, 5 or 6 as a setting for the PL (Program Load) parameter in Edit mode. This
parameter allows you to select one of the following six options as a master mode
for program load behavior:
1
Banks
2
Direct Access
3
Banks/Direct Access
4
Banks/Direct Device
5
Setups/Direct Access
6
Setups/Direct Device
4 Banks/Direct Device uses the standard bank loading scheme on a single
MIDI channel selected in Edit Program Mode. Pressing and holding the FX
button (from either Program or FX Mode) until the LED blinks and d-d flashes
on the MPX R1 display activates Direct Device Control. Pressing FX again
reverts to the standard bank loading scheme.
5 Setups/Direct Access activates Setup Mode. In this mode, all MIDI Program
Changes are transmitted within Setups. Pressing and holding the FX button
takes you into a version of Direct Access Mode which gives you direct access
only to Setup load. Pressing FX again reverts to Setup Mode.
6 Setups/Direct Device activates Setup Mode. In this mode, all MIDI Program
Changes are transmitted within Setups. Pressing and holding the FX button
(from either Program or FX Mode) until the LED blinks and d-d flashes on the
R1 display activates Direct Device Mode. Pressing FX again reverts to Setup
Mode.
To build a Setup, first set the rear panel EDIT/RUN switch to Edit Mode, then
press and hold the FX button for approximately 2 seconds, until the FX LED
blinks.
The 1/PITCH LED should light up in red and the display should show SEt to
indicate you are in Setup programming mode.
