ABOUT THE MPX 110
Thank you for purchasing the MPX 110 Dual Channel Processor, featuring Lexicon’s proprietary Lexichip®.
The MPX 110 is a true stereo, dual-channel processor with 24-bit internal processing, analog-to-digital conversion, and digital-to-analog conversion. It offers 240 presets with classic Lexicon reverbs, including Plate, Chamber, Ambience, Tremolo, Rotary, Chorus, Flange, Pitch, Detune, 5.7 second Delay, Echo, and Inverse. Dual-channel processing creates two independent effects in combinations such as Dual Stereo (Parallel), Cascade, Mono Split, and Dual Mono.
The front panel Adjust knob allows instant manipulation of critical preset parameters, and the Effects Lvl/Bal knob controls effect level in SINGLE programs or effect balance in DUAL programs. All programs can be selected with the PROGRAM and VARIATION knobs. The PROGRAM knob selects SINGLE, DUAL, or User programs, while the VARIATION knob selects among 16 program variations.
Tap Tempo simplifies the once-complicated process of matching delay times and modulation rates between tempo-based presets and other music. Tempo-controlled delays and modulation rates lock to Tap or MIDI clock. In addition, Tap can be controlled using audio input, a dual footswitch, the front panel Tap button, or an external MIDI controller using MIDI Continuous Controller or Program Change messages.
The MPX 110 features Learn Mode, a powerful editing tool that allows MIDI patching of five front panel controls. Standard Continuous Controller and Program Change messages provide complete control over Bypass, Effects Lvl/Bal, Mix, Tap, and even Adjust.

CONNECTING THE UNIT
The INPUT and OUTPUT connectors on the MPX 110 are 1/4 inch unbalanced sockets. Connections should be made utilizing high-quality shielded cables with 1/4 inch Tip/Sleeve phone plugs at the end connected to the unit.
The unit produces effects from either mono or stereo sources. For mono sources, use the RIGHT (MONO) INPUT. For instruments and stereo sources, use both inputs. It is recommended to use stereo outputs whenever stereo inputs are used. Use the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT if mono output is required. The left and right input signals are combined internally when only the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT is used.
HEADPHONES
The LEFT (PHONES) OUTPUT supplies a stereo signal adequate to drive headphones, provided no connections are made at the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT. This feature is included for convenience and practice purposes. It is intended to provide modest volume.
FOOTSWITCH
A footswitch connected to the rear panel FOOTSWITCH connector can be used to control front panel Tap and Bypass functions. A momentary footswitch can be wired to a Tip/Ring/Sleeve connector or a stereo Y-connector, which allows two identical switches to be used.
Note:
Power off the unit prior to connecting the footswitch. Otherwise, Bypass functions will be enabled.
Dual-Function Footswitch
A dual-function footswitch with labels to indicate Tap and Bypass functions is available at Lexicon dealers or www.lexicon.com.

SETTING AUDIO LEVELS
1.Begin with the Input knob set to the 9 o’clock position.
2.Set the instrument or effects sends to a modest output level.
3.Begin playing or sending audio to the MPX 110. The Level LEDs should light green. If the Clip LEDs light red, reduce the output level of the instrument or effects sends until the Clip LEDs do not light during the loudest passages.
4.Continue to play or send audio to the MPX 110. Gradually increase the Input knob setting until the Clip LEDs light red on the loudest passages.
5.Set the Mix knob to Dry.
6.Set the Output knob to the desired level.
7.If utilizing console sends and returns, set the Mix knob to Wet. If utilizing an instrument amplifier, set the Mix knob to the 12 o’clock position.
The Level LEDs do not light when the incoming signal is more than 30dB below overload. The Clip LEDs light red when the signal approaches overload (-2.5dB). When an acceptable signal is present, the Level LEDs light green almost continuously and the Clip LEDs flash red on the loudest passages.
Note:
As with all audio products, it is good practice to first power on all outboard equipment, then the mixer, then the speakers.

ADJUST
The Adjust knob has been customized for each individual program, and in most cases controls several parameters at once to handle complicated editing processes. For instance, Adjust controls the “liveness” of space in many Chamber and
Room programs by changing decay, EQ, and early reflections simultaneously.
The behavior of the Adjust knob is also customized for different functions:
•It can act as a linear control, at its minimum value when set to the 7 o’clock position and its maximum value when set to the 5 o’clock position.
•It can act as a bipolar control, at its minimum value when set to the 12 o’clock position, like a cut/boost EQ control.

EDITING PROGRAMS
The front panel Adjust and Effects Lvl/Bal knobs can both be used to edit programs. The Adjust knob provides instant manipulation of critical program parameters. These parameters are arranged under the knob, meaning that just one turn is all that is required to customize a program to personal taste. The Effects Lvl/Bal knob can be used to control effect level in SINGLE programs, or effect balance in DUAL programs.
The unit recognizes changes made with either knob as edits. When edits are made, the front panel Edit LED will light to indicate that the selected program has been modified but not stored.
Use the Adjust knob to edit the selected program, and the Effects Lvl/Bal knob to control effect level in SINGLE programs or effect balance in DUAL Programs. The Edit LED will light to indicate that the selected program has been modified from its stored condition.
STORING PROGRAMS
To store a program in a User memory location:
1.Press the Store button. The Store LED will flash slowly to indicate that the store function is activated.
2.To continue saving the program, set the PROGRAM knob to User. To cancel the store function without saving the program, make sure the PROGRAM knob is not set to User, then press the Store button again.
3.Set the VARIATION knob to select one of the 16 User memory locations.
4.Press the Store button to save the program to the selected location. The Store LED will flash quickly until the store process is complete. The Edit LED will no longer be lit when the saved version becomes the selected program.

CAUTION
When new programs are stored in a User memory location, programs that were previously stored at that location will be automatically replaced.
TAP TEMPO
VARYING RHYTHM
Tap Tempo can be used to match the delay times and modulation rates of tempo-based programs with those of the music. The Tap LED
will flash whenever a tempo-based preset is loaded. To set tempo from the front panel, press the Tap button twice in time with the music. It is not required to enter what could be the delay time in milliseconds. Just press the Tap button twice, and the unit will calculate the appropriate delay time. To change tempo, press the Tap button twice again in the new rhythm. Changes made to tempo with the Tap button are not considered program edits, and will not cause the Edit LED to light.
AUDIO TAP
To use audio input to set tempo:
1.Press and hold the Tap button for 2 seconds. (The optional dual footswitch allows the musician to remain in contact
with the instrument while pressing and holding the Tap button.)
2.While holding the Tap button, play two short notes in rhythm, then release the Tap button. The unit will automatically calculate tempo based on the time lapse between the two notes.
Audio tap is a must for live performances. It offers a simple method of setting delay times and modulation rates to match the music.

GLOBAL TEMPO
Most factory presets are stored with individual tempo rates, which can be customized to suit personal taste. Tap in the new tempo, then store the modified version of the preset in a User memory location (see page 2-4).
To recall the tempo rate stored with each program, set the System Mode parameter Tempo to Program. The unit will apply the individual tempo setting of each program as it is loaded. To apply the current tempo rate to all programs, set the System Mode parameter Tempo to Global. The unit will ignore individual tempo settings and apply the current tempo setting to each program as it is loaded. (The Tap LED will flash when a tempocontrolled program is loaded.)
BYPASS
The Bypass button can be used to mute audio or to force the unit to pass only dry, unprocessed audio. Its function depends on the
setting of the System Mode parameter Bypass. When set to Bypass Dry, the unit sends only dry, unprocessed audio to the outputs. When set to Mute Input, the unit mutes the inputs only. Running effects will continue their natural decay. Bypass functions can also be activated with a footswitch or MIDI control device (see pages 1-8 and 5-5).
When pressed and held for 2 seconds, the Bypass button also activates System Mode. (See Section 3 for more information about System Mode.)
