Getting Started

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 configurations—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

• Global Mix, Tempo and Compressor modes

• 20Hz-20KHz ± 1dB Frequency Response

Tip Sleeve

Ring

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.

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 already in Program Load mode.)

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 3-digit display. The LEDs for the selected program will light to indicate which effects the 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 "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.

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.

1. Press the Edit button to enter the Editing mode. Each time you press the Edit button, 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.

The Program Parameters

Mix Controls the proportion of processed (wet) to

unprocessed (dry) signals. The range is from 0 (dry) to 100% (wet).

Adjust Modifies various parameters of the current pro-

gram (The selection depends on the program running. See Section 4 – Program Descriptions.) The Adjust range is 0 -127, selected based on external MIDI control having 128 steps.

EQ Controls the frequency content of the active

program, usually by affecting the output HighCut filter or some other parameter appropriate to that program. EQ is expressed in hertz (Hz) or kilohertz (KHz).

Lvl/Bal Sets the level of the Single effects and the bal-

ance of the Dual effects. In Single programs, the range is 0-100% and represents the output level of the effect. However, in the Dual programs, the Level/Balance range is -50 to 50 where at -50 you are listening only to the output of the 1st effects block, at 0 you hear an equal balance between the effects blocks, and at 50 you are listening only to the output of the 2nd effects block. The current routing of the block is indicated by the front panel ROUTING LED.

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).

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 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.

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.

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.)

Tap/Cancel

2-5

Basic Operation

MPX 200

Setting Tempo via MIDI

When used in conjunction with the Learn feature, Tap can be set remotely from any MIDI device. MIDI controllers, such as the Lexicon MPX R1 Foot Controller, can be used to send Continuous Controller messages or Program Changes to the MPX 200. You can also send Continuous Controller or Program Change messages from the controls of many mixing consoles. The MPX 200 will learn these messages and allow you to set tempo via MIDI. The MPX 200 can also receive and utilize MIDI Clock.

See Section 5 – MIDI Operation – for instructions on setting MIDI controllers.

THE COMPRESSOR

The MPX 200 compressor is used in either of two ways:

1. for subtle reduction of volume changes so that

quieter passages in your program material can be made louder.

2. as a limiter to prevent your volume from exceed-

ing a certain level.

For subtle volume reduction, use a lower ratio and set the threshold low enough so that the program material is above threshold much of the time. For severe limiting, a high ratio (10:1) is necessary, but the threshold should be kept high enough so that only the loudest peaks are compressed.

Attack controls how fast the compressor responds to volume increases. The best setting for Attack depends on the frequency content of the program material. A fast attack allows less sound to "leak through" before the compressor reacts to sudden volume increases. However if the attack time is shorter than the period of the predominant low frequency in the music, the compressor will react to the music's waveform, rather than its volume envelope, resulting in various forms of distortion. If you hear this with low frequency material, increase the Attack.

2-6

Basic Operation

Lexicon, Inc.

Release time determines how fast the compressor responds to volume reductions. With most music material, the release time should be longer than the attack time. This is especially true with instruments such as guitar or piano which have their own natural slow volume decay on sustained notes.

Compression can be overused! For most music material, compression should be used in moderation so that the listener doesn't notice the result.

The Compressor Parameters

Rotate the Adjust knob to change the compressor parameter highlighted. An appropriate value for that control will be displayed.

Successive presses of the Edit button will sequence through the following compression parameters, then back to the four program parameters.

Ratio Determines the compression ratio of the

compressor. Available values will be: Off, 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, and 10:1.

Threshold Determines the signal threshold below which

the compressor is inactive.

Attack Controls the attack time (in msec) of the

compressor.

Release Controls the release time (in msec) of the

compressor.

After changing a parameter’s value, the MPX 200 will wait four seconds and then "timeout" and revert to displaying the active program number in the digital display.

2-7

Basic Operation

MPX 200

BYPASS

The Bypass button mutes the audio or bypasses the current effect(s) when pressed. The exact behavior depends on the setting of System Parameter #5 (See Bypass Mode, page 3-2). The choices are Dry ("dry"), Mute ("qui" as in quiet), or Input Mute ("inp"). Dry means that only dry audio is passed. Mute means that no audio is passed. Input Mute means that both the dry audio and the input to the current effect are muted, but the current effect continues to run. If the current effect has any sustained sound (for example, the decay of a reverb or echo), that sound continues through its normal decay. When entering the Bypass mode, “byP” will show in the display and the yellow LED in the Bypass button will light.

STORING PROGRAMS

After editing a Preset, all the changes made to the Edit and Compressor parameters can be stored in any of 64 user locations. To save a program:

1. Press Store.

The Store LED will light to indicate that the MPX 200 store function is armed, and the display will

read “U1” or the location of the first empty user storage position.

The Cancel LED will also light to indicate that you can exit without saving the current program by pressing Tap/Cancel.

2. To store a program in a location other than the

one displayed, turn the Adjust knob to the desired User location.

The Load button will light if the selected location already contains a program. The LED will be off if that location is empty.

3. Press Store again.

The Store button will flash rapidly while the store operation is occurring and will turn off when store is complete. The Edit and Load buttons will also turn off, as the saved version becomes the current active program.

Caution:

If there is a program already stored in a selected location, you will overwrite that program.

SELECTING AND LOADING USER PROGRAMS

During Program selection, rotating the Adjust knob to numbers higher than the presets selects the User Programs, indicated by the letter “U.” To load a User Program, select the User Program and press Load.

If a User Program is empty, the EFFECTS and ROUTING LEDs will be off and pressing Load will have no function.

The MPX 200 provides ultimate control via its System parameters. The System Mode allows you to change the behavior of the MPX 200 as well as access its internal MIDI dumps & features.

To enter System Mode, press and hold Bypass for approximately two seconds. The Bypass button lights and the display flashes "SyS" to indicate you are in System mode. The digital display will then read "Out" (Output Level is the first system parameter).

Note:

In System Mode, all other front panel controls are disabled until you exit this mode. However, the MPX 200 is still able to pass and process audio while in this mode.

The adjustable parameters available in this mode are shown in the “System Mode Parameters” chart on the next page.

To select another system parameter, press Bypass. Each press of the Bypass button will advance to the next available system parameter. A symbolic 3-character string will be shown in the digital display to indicate the system parameter selected. After selecting the last system parameter, the next press of Bypass returns you to "Out" level (this behavior is similar to that of the Edit parameters).

To view the current setting of the parameter, click the Adjust knob once. The display will show the current value. To change a system parameter, rotate the Adjust knob further, either left or right. (In some instances, such as MIDI dumps, the Store button lights. Press Store to execute this MIDI dump. The digital display will indicate the current state.)

Note:

System parameters are automatically saved with each change. Changes you make to these controls are applied immediately (except for Global Compressor Mode) and remain in that state until changed again.

To exit System Mode, press & hold Bypass again for approximately two seconds. The display will flash “Sto” to verify that any changes you made have been stored.

Note:

The System Parameter Mix Mode is identified on the 3-digit display as "d-p.” Some users have wondered: "Why such a cryptic name? What does it mean?" Think of "d-p" as short for "dryprocessed.” This name was chosen because a 7segment digit cannot display either "m" or "x,” which would have been the logical choices. Hence a name was chosen that would be distinctive from other System Parameter names.

6. Program Load: Determines whether the MPX 200 will mute completely or pass dry audio while changing programs.

7. Global Tempo Mode: Determines whether the current tempo of the MPX 200 will be applied to all programs (Global), or whether program-specific tempos are restored on each program load (Program). A default tempo is stored with each program. These individual stored values will take effect when a program is loaded if Global Tempo is set to Program. The Global Tempo setting will override the individual stored settings if Global Tempo is set to Global.

8. Global Compressor Mode: Determines whether the current compressor parameter settings of the MPX 200 will be applied to all programs (Global), or whether program-specific compressor parameters are restored on each program load (Program). Changes you make to the four compressor parameters are stored with each program. These individual stored values will take effect when a program is loaded if Global Compressor Mode is set to Program.

The 240 programs in the MPX 200 are designed to provide a full array of high caliber ambience, reverb, delay, pitch shift and other effects. While auditioning the programs, be sure to vary the Adjust and EQ parameters.

The Adjust and EQ parameters have been carefully customized for each individual program. In many cases they control several effect parameters simultaneously to provide simple control of a complicated editing process. For example, in many Chamber and Room programs Adjust controls the "liveness" of the space by changing decay, EQ and early reflections, all at the same time. This parameter has a range of 0-127 to make it compatible with MIDI control.

This section of this manual provides a general description of each MPX 200 Bank along with tables that detail all of the programs available in each Bank. This includes the function of the Adjust parameter and the Tap button (for programs that use tempo-controlled rate or delay times).

PLATE

Plate reverb was originally generated by a large, thin sheet of metal suspended upright under tension on springs. Transducers attached to the plate transmitted a signal that made the plate vibrate — making any sounds broadcast through it seem to be occurring in a large open space.

The Plate programs synthesize the sound of metal plates with high initial diffusion and a relatively bright, colored sound. These programs are designed to be heard as part of the music, mellowing and thickening the initial sound. They are a popular choice for enhancing pop music, particularly percussion.

GATE

Gated reverbs were originally created by feeding a reverb, such as a metal plate, through an analog gate device. The decay time was set to instant, and the hold time varied the duration of the sound.

The Gate programs provide a fairly constant sound with no decay until the reverb is cut off abruptly. These programs work well on percussion – particularly on snare and toms – but make sure to experiment with other sound sources as well.

Note:

Audio is muted briefly when Time is altered with Adjust.

HALL

Lexicon's Hall programs recreate the acoustics of actual places—from grand reverberant enclosures to small concert halls.

The clean reverberation of the Hall programs is designed to add spaciousness, while leaving the source material unchanged. In addition to general instrumental and vocal applications, the Hall programs are a good choice for giving separately recorded tracks the sense of belonging to the same performance.

CHAMBER

Historically, recording studio chambers were oddly shaped rooms with a loudspeaker and set of microphones to pick up the ambience in various parts of the room.

The stereo Chamber programs produce even, relatively dimensionless reverberation, with little change in color as the sound decays. The initial diffusion is similar to the Hall programs, but the sense of space and size is much less obvious. This characteristic, along with the low color of the decay tail, makes these programs useful on a wide range of material. They are especially useful on spoken voice, giving a noticeable increase in loudness with very low color.

AMBIENCE

Ambience gives warmth, spaciousness and depth to a performance without coloring the direct sound, and is commonly used to add a room sound to recorded music or speech. In music recording, Ambience can realistically add distance to closed-mike signal.

The Ambience programs simulate reflections from room surfaces with random reflections, a gradual decay of overall level, and a gradual narrowing of the bandwidth.

In these programs, the Mix control adds depth–emulating the movement of a coincident pair of microphones away from the sound source into the room.

TREMOLO

Tremolo is a rhythmic change in loudness, commonly employed as an expressive technique by vocalists and wind instrument players. It is also one of the oldest electronic effects — frequently used with electric guitar, electric piano and, occasionallly, vocals. Different tremolo effects are largely determined by the rate and waveform shape of the loudness change (fast or slow, smooth or sharp). If the effect is used in a stereo mix, the left and right can be synchronized in a variety of ways to produce dramatic side-to-side motion.

The Tremolo programs offer a variety of tremolo shapes (square, sawtooth, triangle, sine and rectified sine). The synchronization of the left and right sides can be adjusted to produce mono and stereo effects. As the tremolo rates are set with Tap, it is easy to match the tempo of the music. The Adjust knob (phase) lets you set left and right channel waveforms out-of-phase, resulting in a panning motion.

All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully wet. By adding more dry to the wet/dry mix, Mix effectively sets the depth of the Tremolo. Take care to make the rate work with the tempo of the music, as Tremolo is essentially a rhythmic effect .

ROTARY

Rotary speaker cabinets were originally designed to provide a majestic vibrato/choir effect for electronic theater and church organs. The most well known rotary speaker is the Leslie™ Model 122, which has two counter-rotating elements: a high frequency horn and a low frequency rotor with slow and fast speeds. As the spinning elements change speed, the sound generated is truly magical. The swirling, spacious effect is hard to describe, but is instantly recognizable.

The rotary effect is a detailed simulation of a Leslie-style cabinet. The input signal is split into high and low frequency bands. The rotation effect is created by a synchronized combination of pitch shifting, tremolo and panning. Like the physical model, the high (horn) and low (drum) frequencies are “spun” in opposite directions. Horn and drum speeds are independent, and are designed with acceleration and deceleration characteristics to simulate the inertia of the original mechanical elements.

A virtual requirement for any organ sound, the rotary programs also sound great with guitar and electric piano rhythm parts. In fact, they are great alternatives to chorus and tremolo effects for any sound source.

All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully Wet to achieve the full effect.

CHORUS

Chorus effects multiply the original audio source to create a lush, full sound. Traditionally used to fatten up tracks and to add body to guitar without coloring the original tone, chorus effects are also often used in combination with echoes, plates and other reverb effects.

The stereo Chorus programs use six independently randomized delay voices panned across the stereo field. These programs, inherited from Lexicon's PCM 80, generate a rich, airy effect that can simulate the sound of multiple sources from a single source. These programs are stunning on acoustic or clean electric guitar.

All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully Wet to achieve the full richness of the 6-voice chorus.

FLANGE

Flanging effects were originally created by simultaneously recording and playing back two identical programs on two tape recorders, then using hand pressure against the flange of the tape reels to slow down first one machine, then the other. The result was a series of changing phase cancellations and reinforcements, with a characteristic swishing, tunneling and fading sound.

The MPX 200 stereo Flanger has two 2-Tap delays — one per channel. The first tap is fixed, and the second sweeps past it. Mixing the two delay taps together creates the flanging effect.

All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully Wet to achieve the full flange effect.

DETUNE

Detune effects add a delayed/pitch-shifted version of the original source — thickening up the sound. They can be particularly effective when used to simulate double-tracking. They are also great alternatives to chorus effects, adding the richness of a chorus without the audible sweep caused by the chorus rate.

The 4-voice stereo Detune programs have one pair of voices per channel. As more detune amount is applied (with Adjust), the pair grow more out of tune, providing a lush sound without the need for mixing in a dry signal.

All of these programs should be used with Mix set to fully Wet to achieve the full effect.

DELAY AND ECHO

Delays and echoes are effects that repeat a sound a short time after it first occurs. The simplest (and oldest) delay effect is tape slap — a single repeat about 100ms after the original sound. (It was often used on Elvis Presley’s voice and rockabilly guitar tracks.) Tape slap becomes tape echo when the output of the tape is fed back into the input (feedback), turning a single repeat into a series of repeats — each a little softer and a little darker than the last. This darkening of each repeat is characteristic of the analog tape recording process. Digital delays do not have this characteristic–each repeat has the same exact timbre and the only difference from repeat to repeat is in loudness.

Digital delay and tape echo are both useful, but they are different. Tape echo is warmer and allows the original sound to stand out more, while digital delay can present a “perfect” copy of the original sound.

The Delay and Echo variations include mono (up to 5.5 seconds), stereo (up to 2.7 seconds), and 6-voice multitap effects. Each of the programs can be used for digital delay or tape echo effects. When the Adjust parameter is set to a value between 63 and 0, tape echo effects are produced. (Each repeat is darker and softer.) When the Adjust parameter is set to a value between 64 and 127, digital delay effects are produced. (Each repeat is the same timbre, but softer.)

In programs 90-97, Adjust also sets the amount of feedback — with an increasing number of repeats as the parameter value is increased. Delay time is set with Tap. Each program is preset with a different useful rhythm.

In Variations 98-104, the amount of feedback is preset and Adjust determines Delay time.

When using any type of delay or echo effects with music, always pay attention to the way the repeats fall rhythmically to the beat. The most effective delay and echo patterns are those that lock in with the tempo of the tune.

COMPRESSOR

The compressor in the MPX 200 is a stand-alone control that modulates the level feeding the other active effect(s). It has no effect on the dry signal coming out of the Mix control (or the Bypass signal when Bypass Mode is set to Dry). Compression on a dry signal is obtained by using a Delay/Echo algorithm with delay times set to 0. Thus, the Mix control must be set to 100% for this to work properly (this is the default setting when Global Mix Mode is set to Program).

Programs 107, 108 and 109 use a Parallel Reverb-Delay algorithm to obtain compression on both a dry and wet signal. To use this program, observe the following:

• Keep the MPX 200 Mix set to 100% (the default setting when Program Load is set to Program). The dry signal will be obtained as a compressed "delayed" echo with the delay time set to 0.

• Adjust the Reverb level by changing the Balance parameter between full left (0%) and about 40%. (Typical values should be between 5% and 10%.)

* PRESET 117

This preset supplies reverb while preserving stereo imaging in a live stage setup. Stereo imaging is preserved via time delay rather than conventional L/R panning so that a proper channel mix is maintained in both L and R speakers. To use this program, observe the following:

• Use the MPX 200 in-line between mixer and house amps, not as an effect that is mixed back into the main L and R signals.

• On your mixer, pan the input channel for each musician fully to that musician’s side of the stage.

• Keep Mix set to 50% (the default setting when Program Load is set to Program).

• Adjust your Reverb level by changing the Balance parameter between full left (-50) and about -10. (Typical values should be between -45 and -40.)

• Set "Width" for the distance between the speakers at each side of the stage. The program loads with an assumed width of approximately 20 ft. The available range via the Adjust knob is 10-50 ft. These values assume that most audience members are seated within 30 degrees to either side of the stage centerline. If many audience members are seated further to the sides of the stage the Adjust setting can be increased, but otherwise it should be kept as low as possible.

ABOUT THE DUAL PROGRAMS

The Dual programs combine either a Delay or Reverb algorithm with a Flange, Pitch or Chorus, in addition to a delay/reverb combination. The Effects Lvl/Bal parameter controls the relative balance of each effect in the combination.

The Dual programs use four routing configurations: Dual Stereo (Parallel), Cascade, Mono Split and Dual Mono.

Bank 14 (Special FX) contains programs which use a variety of routing configurations. The remaining Banks (15-23) are organized as follows:

Banks 15-21 have the first six programs in each Bank set up in the Parallel configuration–two stereo programs placed side-by-side so that they receive and output stereo audio from both left and right channels. The last four programs in each Bank are set up in the Cascade configuration–two stereo programs, one placed after the

other. For example, in Flange-Delay, Flange passes its stereo signal to the Delay.

Banks 22 and 23 are set up in the Mono Split configuration which is similar to Parallel, but here, one effect (Flange) receives audio from the left input and the other effect (Delay) receives audio from the right input. Both effects then output stereo audio.

Because Dual Mono programs are usually used differently, they are all grouped in the last preset Bank (24). In these programs, one program (Flange) appears on the left channel only and the other program (Delay) appears on the right channel only.

Generally, the Effects Lvl/Bal parameter controls the balance of the two effects in each dual program. In the cascade variations, rather than simply controlling balance, the Adjust knob varies the amount of the first effect or dry signal which is fed into the second effect.

There is one MIDI channel for all MIDI messages. Values are “Off,” Channels 1 through 16, or “All” Channels (OMNI mode). Its default value is Channel 1. See page 3-5 for additional information.

MIDI BANK SELECT AND PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES

MIDI Bank Select messages can be sent to the MPX 200 via Continuous Controller 32. Bank 0 contains programs 1-99; bank 1 contains programs 100-199; bank 2 contains programs 200-240; and bank 3 serves as the User Bank. Bank selection is also accomplished when a program is cued up with the Adjust knob.

A MIDI Program Change message causes the selected program to load from the currently selected bank, provided the selected program exists and MIDI Program Change has been enabled with System Parameters. For example, a Bank Select value of 1 followed by a Program Change value of 57 will cause the MPX 200 to load program 157. A Bank Select value of 2 followed by a Program Change value of 57 will cause the MPX 200 to do nothing because there is no program 257. A Bank Select value of 0 followed by a Program Change value of 0 will cause the MPX 200 to do nothing because there is no program 0. Likewise, a Program Change message requesting an empty location in the User Bank will be ignored.

LEARNING OTHER MIDI PATCHES

The MPX 200 recognizes Pitch Bend, AfterTouch, and MIDI Continuous Controllers 1-31 and 33-119–in addition to Program Change messages–to manipulate the audio controls. To Learn a Continuous Controller or other MIDI message:

1. Press Store and Tap simultaneously to enter Learn Mode. The Store and Tap buttons light steadily to indicate Learn Mode is active and the display shows “lrn.”

2. Press the desired button (for example, Tap or Bypass) or the Edit button to choose the desired editable parameter.

3. Send a Program Change message or move the MIDI controller through its full range. To use only a fraction of the controller range, limit your movement to the desired range. The Edit LED will flash to indicate incoming MIDI activity.

4. Press Store to commit to the assignment. The Store LED will flash rapidly and the display shows “Sto.”

To assign another front panel control to a MIDI controller or Program Change message, repeat steps 2 - 4.

5. Press Store and Tap simultaneously to exit. The Store button will flash rapidly to indicate that you are leaving Learn Mode.

Note:

When a MIDI controller is assigned to Tap, moving it through the mid-point of its Learned range will execute a "press" of the front panel button. When a MIDI controller is assigned to Bypass or Compressor On/Off, moving above or below its mid-point will toggle the control on or off.

To aid MIDI controllers (such as some foot controllers) which do not allow sending “single-button-repeated” Program Change messages, the MPX 200 recognizes the next highest Program Change along with every Program Change message it learns for Bypass and/or Tap. For example, if you Learn Program Change 120 as the source for Bypass, Program Change 121 will also control Bypass functions. To avoid conflicting Bypass and Tap

assignments, leave a space between the two buttons’ assignments. For example, if you learn Program Change 120 for Bypass, remember that 121 will also be learned, so you will have to jump to Program Change 122 (and 123) for Tap.

CLEARING A LEARNED ASSIGNMENT

1. Simultaneously press Store and Tap to enter Learn Mode. (The Store and Tap buttons light steadily to indicate Learn Mode is active and the display shows “lrn.”)

2. Select the front panel control that you want to clear (for example, Mix, Lvl/Bal, Adjust, Bypass).

3. Press Store to clear the assignment. The Store button will flash rapidly and the display will show “Clr.”

To clear another front panel assignment, repeat steps 2 and 3.

4. Simultaneously press Store and Tap to exit. The

Store button will flash rapidly if you have changed any assignments.

MIDI CLOCK

The MPX 200 recognizes MIDI Clock messages and applies the tempo (40-400 bpm) to any program which utilizes the Tap-Tempo feature. Connect a MIDI device which outputs MIDI Clock (such as the MPX R1 foot controller or a MIDI sequencer) to the MPX 200 MIDI IN jack to have the MPX 200 automatically recognize and begin to process the MIDI clock. When you change tempo on the connected device, the MPX 200 will follow along and adjust its delay times or rates to match the tempo.

This can be disabled with the MIDI Clock Receive parameter in System Mode.

MIDI DUMPS

MIDI Dumps allow you to back up the User programs, the currently running program, or your System Mode settings and Learned patch assignments, to a storage device (typically, a sequencer).

MIDI Dumps are performed in System Mode.
