Thank you for your purchase of the Lexicon MPX 200 Dual Channel Processor—a true stereo dual-channel processor with 24-bit internal processing, 24-bit A/D-D/A and S/PDIF digital inputs and outputs. The MPX 200 features a newly designed digital compressor that works in front of, and in addition to, its outstanding effects. This makes the MPX 200 one of the most powerful processors in its price class.

The MPX 200 includes 240 presets with classic reverb programs such as Ambience, Plate, Chamber and Inverse as well as Tremolo, Rotary, Chorus, Flange, Pitch, Detune, 5.5 second Delay & Echo. Sixty four User locations store your own variations of these programs. Dual-channel processing provides two independent effects in a variety of con- figurations—Dual Stereo (Parallel), Cascade, Mono Split and Dual Mono—indicated by the Routing LED in each of the dual programs.

Up to eight adjustable parameters (four program and four compressor) are available in each program. The digital compressor is available in all 240 programs, including the dual programs—simultaneously providing two effects and

compression. A full range of MIDI control includes Program Change, MIDI bulk dump, and an easy Learn mode that allows MIDI patching of the front panel controls. In addition, tempo-controlled delays and modulation rates lock to Tap or MIDI Clock. Tap tempos are controllable by audio input, the front panel Tap button, dual footswitch, external MIDI controller or MIDI Program Change.

Other features include:

•3-stage headroom indicators

•4-stage compressor indicators

•Headphone output

•Software-selectable MIDI OUT/THRU port

•Cue program mode

•Pushbutton or footswitch selection of dry or muted audio output

•Assignable Bypass mode

REAR PANEL DETAILS AND USAGE

Power

Uses a detachable IEC power cable. Use the correct cable for receptacles in your area.

MIDI IN and OUT/THRU

The MPX 200 is shipped with the System parameter for MIDI OUT/THRU set to OUT. To change this to a MIDI THRU port, change the System parameter to THRU.

OUTPUT

L & R 1/4-inch Unbalanced Outputs. If no cable is plugged into the L Output, the R Output provides a mono signal of both channels. If no cable is plugged into the R Output, the L Output can drive a set of stereo headphones.

Sleeve Bypass

The footswitch jack requires a Tip/Ring/Sleeve 1/4-inch plug. The Tip controls Tempo similar to the Tap button and the Ring controls Bypass similar to the Bypass button. A handy mnemonic to remember is: “Tip for Tempo; Ring for Reverb.” You cannot use an “unbalanced” Tip/ Sleeve plug for the footswitch because the MPX 200 will detect this as if the Bypass button were being pressed.

Powering-up the MPX 200 with a Tip/Sleeve plug inserted into the footswitch jack will cause it to enter Diagnostic Mode. If this occurs, turn the MPX 200 off, remove the plug, and turn it on again.

INPUT & OUTPUT

The Input and Output jacks on the MPX 200 are 1/4-inch unbalanced sockets. If no plug is inserted into the Left Input, the Right Input becomes a mono-signal – fed into both Left and Right. The Inputs are Hi-Z and sensitive enough to accommodate an electric guitar plugged directly into the MPX 200.

If no plug is inserted into the Right Output, the Left Output becomes a stereo T/R/S output. It is also capable of driving headphones.

OUTPUT			INPUT

Input and Output Jacks

It is always good practice to route your audio cables away from power cables.

SETTING AUDIO LEVELS

1.Start with Input set to 9:00 o’clock.

2.Set the instrument volume control to a nominal level. Begin to play or send audio to the MPX 200. The Level LEDs remain off during the loudest passages.

3.While still sending audio to the MPX 200, gradually turn up the Input control until the Clip LEDs show red on only the loudest peaks.

4.Set the Mix control to “Dry.”

5.Adjust output to the desired level.

6.If the MPX 200 is using a console’s send and returns, set the Mix control fully clockwise (100% wet) and the system parameter Mix Mode to Global (see page 3-4). If you are using an instrument amplifier, start with Mix set halfway up.

The Level LEDs are off when the incoming signal is low (more than 30dB below overload.) The Clip LEDs light red when the signal approaches overload (-1dB). Acceptable signals will cause the Level LEDs to light green almost continuously, with the Clip LEDs flashing red on peaks.

Note:

As with any audio product, it is good practice to first power on all outboard gear, then the mixer, then any loudspeakers.

THE ADJUST KNOB

The Adjust knob is located on the right side of the front panel and performs multiple functions. For example:

A.When the Load button is pressed, the Adjust knob is used to select

the programs.

B.When the Edit button is pressed, the Adjust knob is used to control one of the Edit functions.

To reassign the Adjust knob for selecting Programs, press the Load button.

Other functions are described throughout this manual.

SELECTING AND LOADING PROGRAMS

The MPX 200 contains 240 presets and storage for 64 User Programs. To select a Preset or User Program as the running program:

1. Press the Load button. (Omit this step if you are Load already in Program Load mode.)

2

Basic Operation

2.Turn the Adjust knob until your desired program number appears on the display, or effects and routing are indicated by the EFFECTS and ROUTING LEDs.

3.Press Load again to load your selected program. The program can also be set to load automatically. (See Autoload on page 3-3 / item 14).

Your loaded program number is displayed in the		ROUTING (DUA
			C
3-digit display. The LEDs for the selected			C
			C
program will light to indicate which effects the			C
selected program contains. If the	selected

program contains a dual effect, the appropriate ROUTING LED will light.

The compressor will always be available in any program,

and is situated in front of any other effect for the Compressor "wet" component signal path. If compression is

included in that program, the COMPRESSOR effect LED lights even though the compressor can always be turned on or off (using the Compressor button). Thus, the EFFECTS display shows what would run if that program were

loaded.

CUEING PROGRAMS

For live performance or mixing in the studio, you may want to “jump” from one program to another. The MPX 200 allows you to cue a program for loading.

1.Turn the Adjust knob to the Program you want to load next (but do not press the Load button).

After 4 seconds the display and the EFFECTS and ROUTING LEDs will revert to showing the currently running program, but the Load button will remain lit to indicate its armed status. To review the cued program, rotate the Adjust knob one click to redisplay its number and effects.

2. Press Load to load your cued program.	Load

The Load button lights when a new program has been selected for loading, indicating that the button is armed. Pressing the Load button will then cause the selected program to load. (If the selected program has not been changed or the running program has not been edited since it was loaded, the LED will not be lit, indicating that pressing this button will have no effect.)

EDITING PROGRAMS

The Adjust knob is used to control the EDIT functions. The lighted LED indicates the selected parameter while the display indicates the value of that parameter.

2-2

1.Press the Edit button to enter the Editing MIDI

	mode. Each time you press the Edit button,	Edit
	it selects the next parameter for you to edit.

2.Turn the Adjust knob to change the parameter. An appropriate value for that control will be displayed.

After changing a parameter value, the MPX 200 will wait 4 seconds and then "timeout" and revert to displaying the active program number in the display. You can tell that Edit mode is still active because the current parameter LED is still lit.

Compressor, Mix, and Tempo parameters can be set via System Parameters as either Global or Program. When set as Program, a change to these parameters is considered a “program edit” and is reported with the activation of the Edit LED. When set as Global, a change is not considered an “edit.”

If you were previously operating a control and then pressed Load, pressing Edit will return to the previous control. The Edit button lights when a parameter has been changed and is different from its stored value.

Press the Load button to reassign the Adjust knob to select Programs.

TEMPO FEATURES

Tap

Tap allows delays and effects to be locked to the tempo of your music. Whenever this Tempo feature is active in a program, the green Tap LED flashes. To lock the delay or effect to the tempo of your music, simply press Tap twice, in time with the music, to set a tempo. The MPX 200 recognizes tempos from 40 to 400 bpm (beats per minute).

3.When you release Tap, the current bpm will show on the digital display and the LED in the Tap button will light to indicate that tempo can now be further adjusted from the front panel. Just turn the Adjust knob to dial in a tempo (in bpm).

4.Press Tap to exit this mode.

For live performances this is an easy way to set delay rates to follow your rhythm.

Audio TAP

In addition to entering a program tempo directly via the Tap button, you can also use audio input such as two drum hits or a vocal countoff to set the tempo of the MPX 200 delay times:

1.Press and hold the Tap button for 2 seconds.

(The optional dual footswitch input on the Tap/Cancel back panel performs the same function as

the Tap button.) The display will read "Aud" (Audio).

2.While holding down Tap, play two short notes in rhythm, then release the Tap button. The MPX 200 automatically calculates the tempo from the space between your two notes.

2-4

Global Tempo

Many factory presets are stored with their own tempo rate. You can tap in a new tempo (and store your version in a User location) or set the MPX 200 to globally recall the last tempo used and apply it to every program (see Section 3 - System Mode).

When you select Global Tempo from the MPX 200 System mode, the last tempo used will be applied to all programs with tempo-controlled parameters. (If a program is tempo-controllable, the Tap button flashes when the program is loaded.)
