The MPX 1 DataBase function can sort the 200 presets into numerical or alphabetical order, show you only those programs that are tagged for specific audio
sources (guitars, vocals, etc.), or only those which use specific effects (pitch, chorus, etc.).To select the sorting criteria you want, press Program, then press
Options. (The Options LED will blink.) Use either the knob or the < and > buttons to select the sorting option you want. Press Options again to return to Program
mode and to re-sort the DataBase. When you return to Program mode, the knob will scroll through the programs that match your sorting criteria. The < and >
buttons will jump to the next sorting category.
In Program mode, press Value to access Soft Row parameters for each program. Use the < and > buttons to select parameters, and the knob to modify values.
Press Value again to exit the Soft Row.
If the front panel Tempo LED lights, the program you have loaded can be synchronized to tempo. To set the tempo, press the front panel Tap button twice in
time with the beat. (Tempo can also be dialed in as a parameter value, or it can be determined by MIDI Clock.) Be sure to try these effects synchronized with
MIDI sequence and drum patterns. If the front panel A or B LED lights, the program you have loaded has parameters patched to the A/B Gide controller. Press
the front panel A/B button to glide between the A and B versions of the program.
