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.

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.

SELECTING PROGRAMS

All programs can be selected with the front panel

PROGRAM and VARIATION knobs. The PROGRAM knob

selects either a SINGLE, DUAL, or User program. SINGLE

program selections are arranged around the left side of

the knob; DUAL and User program selections are

arranged around the right side of the knob. The

VARIATION knob selects among 16 program variations,

arranged around the knob.

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.

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.

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

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

and apply the current tempo setting to each program as

it is loaded. (The Tap LED will flash when a tempo-

controlled 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

PLATE

Plate reverb began with 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, causing sounds broadcast

through it to appear 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 sound. Plate

programs are a popular choice for enhancing pop music,

particularly percussion.

GATE

Gated reverbs were created by feeding a reverb, such as

a metal plate, through an analog gate device. Decay

time was set to instant, while hold time varied

duration and 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. It is recommended to experiment with other

sound sources as well.

HALL

Lexicon’s Hall programs recreate the acoustics of actual

places - from grand, reverberant enclosures to small

concert halls.

The clean reverberation of Hall programs is designed to

add spaciousness without altering source material. In

addition to general instrumental and vocal applications,

the Hall programs give separately recorded tracks a sense

of belonging to the same performance.

CHAMBER

Historically, recording studio chambers were oddly

shaped rooms with a loudspeaker and set of

microphones to collect ambience in various parts of the

room.

Stereo Chamber programs produce even, relatively

dimensionless reverberation with little color change as

sound decays. The initial diffusion is similar to Hall

programs. However, the sense of size and space is much

less obvious. This characteristic, coupled with the low

color of the decay tail, makes these programs useful on

a wide range of material - especially the spoken voice, to

which Chamber programs add a noticeable increase in

loudness with low color.

AMBIENCE

Ambience adds warmth, spaciousness, and depth to a

performance without coloring its direct sound. It is

commonly used to add a room sound to recorded music

and speech. In music recording, Ambience can

realistically add distance to close-mic’ed signals.

Ambience programs simulate reflections from room

surfaces with random reflections, a gradual decay of

overall level, and a gradual narrowing of 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 occasionally vocals. Different tremolo

effects are largely determined by the rate (fast or slow)

and waveform shape (smooth or sharp) of the change in

loudness. If the effect is used in a stereo mix, the left and

right can be synchronized to produce dramatic side-to-

side motion.

The Tremolo programs offer classic tremolo shapes, such

as square, sawtooth, triangle, sine, and rectified sine. The

synchronization of the left and right channels can be

adjusted to produce mono and stereo effects. The Tap

button sets tremolo rates, making it simple to match the

tempo of the music. The Adjust knob (phase) sets left

and right channel waveforms out-of-phase, resulting in a

panning motion.

Set the front panel Mix knob to Wet for all program

variations. Mix can be used to effectively set the depth of

the Tremolo program when more dry is added to the

wet-to-dry mix. (Turn the knob to the right, moving its

setting closer to Dry.) It is recommended to make the

rate work with the tempo of the music, as Tremolo is

essentially a rhythmic effect.

The Adjust knob can function as a four-

position switch, selecting the amount of

phase shift. When a setting is selected in the

0 range, no phase shift is applied. When a

setting is selected in the other ranges, the

indicated amount of phase shift is applied.

Numbers indicate phase shift in degrees.

ROTARY

Rotary speaker cabinets were 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. The sound generated as

the spinning elements change speed is truly magical.

The swirling, spacious effect is difficult to describe - but

clearly recognizable.

The Rotary programs are 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 cabinet, the high (horn)

and low (rotor) frequencies are “spun” in opposite

directions. Horn and rotor speeds are independent, and

designed with acceleration and deceleration

characteristics to simulate the inertia of the original

mechanical elements.

A virtual requirement for organ music, Rotary programs

also sound remarkable with guitar and electric piano

rhythm parts. In fact, these programs are great

alternatives to chorus and tremolo effects for any sound

source.

To achieve the full effect, set the front panel Mix knob to

Wet for all variations of this program (9 to 16).

CHORUS

Chorus effects create lush, full sounds by multiplying the

original audio source. Traditionally, these effects were

used to fatten up tracks and to add body to guitar

without coloring the original tone. Chorus effects are

also often combined with plates, echoes, and other

reverb effects.

The stereo Chorus programs, inherited from Lexicon’s

PCM 80, create a rich, airy effect that simulates the

sound of multiple sources from a single source. These

programs are stunning on acoustic or clean-electric

guitar.

These programs utilize six independently-randomized

delay voices panned across the stereo field. Set the front

panel Mix knob to Wet to achieve the full richness of the

FLANGE

Flange 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 characteristic

swishing, tunneling, and fading sounds.

The 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.

DETUNE

Detune effects add a delayed or pitch-shifted version of

the original source, thickening the sound. This creates a

particularly effective simulation of double-tracking.

These effects 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 is applied with the

Adjust knob, the pair become more out of tune,

DELAY, ECHO

Delays and echoes 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. Tape slap 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). This turns a

single repeat into a series of repeats, each a little softer

and a little darker than the last. This darkening is

characteristic of the analog tape recording process.

Digital delays do not have this characteristic; each repeat

has the same exact timbre. For digital delays, loudness is

the only difference from repeat to repeat.

Tape echo and digital delay are both useful, but

different. Tape echo is warmer, allowing the original

sound to distinguish itself. Digital delay presents a

“perfect” copy of the original sound.

The Delay and Echo variations include mono (5.5

seconds), stereo (2.7 seconds), and 6-voice multi-tap

effects. Each program can be used for tape echo or

digital delay effects.

When the Adjust knob is set to a

value between 12 and 5 o’clock,

tape echo effects are produced. Each

repeat is darker and softer. When the

Adjust knob is set to a value between

7 and 12 o’clock, digital delay effects are produced. Each

repeat is the same timbre, but softer.

In variations 1 to 8, the Adjust knob sets the amount of

feedback with an increasing number of repeats as the

setting is increased. Delay time is set with Tap. Each

program is preset with a different rhythm. In

variations 9 to 16, the amount of feedback is preset and

the Adjust knob determines the delay time.

With all Delay and Echo effects, note the way the repeats

fall rhythmically to the beat. The most effective Delay

and Echo patterns are those that lock with the tempo of

the music.

DUAL PROGRAMS

The DUAL Programs combine Delay with Reverb, or

either Delay or Reverb with Chorus, Flange, or Pitch.

Four routing configurations are used in the variations of

each DUAL program: Dual Stereo (Parallel), Cascade,

Mono Split, and Dual Mono.

Variation knob settings are configured as follows:

• Variations 1 to 6 are arranged in the Dual Stereo

(Parallel) configuration - two stereo effects placed

next to one another to receive and output stereo

audio from both the left and right channels.

• Variations 7 to 10 are arranged in the Cascade

configuration - two stereo effects, one placed after

the other. For example, in Flange-Delay, Flange

passes its stereo signal to Delay.

• Variations 11 to 14 are arranged in the Mono Split

configuration, which is similar to the Dual Stereo

(Parallel) configuration. One effect (Flange) receives

audio from the left input and the other effect (Delay)

receives audio from the right input. Both effects

output stereo audio.

• Variations 15 and 16 are arranged in the Dual Mono

configuration where one effect (Flange) appears on

the left channel only, while the other effect (Delay)

appears on the right channel only.

EFFECTS LVL/BAL

The front panel Effects Lvl/Bal knob controls the relative

balance of each effect in the DUAL program. In Cascade

variations, the knob also varies the amount of the first

effect or dry signal fed into the second effect.

The illustration below uses the Pitch-Delay program to

show the behavior of the Effects Lvl/Bal knob at certain

settings when a Cascade variation is selected.

THE PITCH PROGRAMS

The MPX 110 features single Pitch, Pitch-Delay, and

Pitch-Reverb programs. All pitch programs are designed

to input and output two channels and to respond to

pitch-shifting in either Stereo or Dual Mono mode.

Note:

In this case, Dual Mono refers to signal type - not

routing configuration.

In Stereo mode, the same pitch-shift is applied to both

channels at the same time. This helps maintain the

proper phase relationship between the channels. When

pitch programs operate in Stereo mode, rotating the

Adjust knob will affect both channels in the same

manner.

In Dual Mono mode, pitch-shift is applied to each

channel separately. When pitch programs operate in

Dual Mono mode, rotating the Adjust knob will affect

each channel in a different manner. Sometimes one

channel may seem to experience no effect at all.

The mode in which a particular program responds to

pitch-shifting cannot be selected. The tables that begin

below list each pitch program along with its assigned

mode of operation.

LEARN MODE

Learn Mode enables the MPX 110 to “learn” MIDI Program Change and

Continuous Controller messages. To activate and deactivate Learn Mode, press

the Store and Tap buttons simultaneously. The Store LED will flash slowly and the

Tap LED will light to indicate that Learn Mode is active.

The unit supports five learned patches for the front panel Mix, Effects Lvl/Bal,

Adjust, Bypass, and Tap controls. Program Change messages 0 to 15 are reserved

for executing program loads. The Program Load function can also be assigned to

a separate MIDI channel (see page 5-3).

These controls can be

patched to Continuous

Controller messages.

These controls can also

be patched to Program

Change messages.

Program Change messages can

be used to load programs.

Simultaneously press the

Store and Tap buttons to

PROGRAM LOAD CHANNEL

The MPX 110 is designed to have one MIDI channel

dedicated to loading programs, called the Program Load

MIDI Channel. This allows Program Change messages to

load programs.

The Program Load channel can be the same channel that

is used to receive other Program Change messages for

Learned Patches. However, numbers 0 to 15 will always

load the 16 variations of the selected program. Program

Change messages 0 to 15 will be ignored on all other

MIDI channels.

MIDI channel 1 is the default Program Load Channel. To

assign this function to a different channel:

1. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to activate Learn Mode. The Store LED will flash

slowly and the Tap LED will light to indicate that

Learn Mode is active.

2. Send a Program Change message to the unit. The

Edit LED will flash to indicate incoming MIDI activity.

3. The unit learns the MIDI channel of the transmitting

device, and reassigns the Program Load function to

that channel.

4. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to deactivate Learn Mode.

The unit will remember the Program Load Channel

assignment until the Program Load Channel is

reassigned using the same procedure.

MIDI Operation Lexicon

5-4

PROGRAM CHANGE MESSAGES

LOADING PROGRAMS

Standard MIDI Program Change messages can be used

to load all 240 preset and 16 User programs. The unit

conforms to the use of MIDI Continuous Controller 32 to

execute Bank Select messages. For purposes of this

section, each PROGRAM knob setting selects a “bank” of

16 programs. These banks are numbered as shown in the

table at the right.

When a standard MIDI Program Change message is sent

to the unit on its Program Load channel, Program

Change messages 0 to 15 will load program variations 1

to 16 from the selected program bank. When a Bank

Select message is sent to the unit with Continuous

Controller 32 before the Program Change message, any

one of the 256 programs can be loaded.

For example, the PROGRAM knob is set to Plate, Gate:

• Sending Program Change 1 will load the first Plate

program.

• Sending Controller 32 with a value of 0 followed by

Program Change 1 will load the first program in the

User bank.

• Sending Controller 32 with a value of 1 followed by

Program Change 2 will load the second program in

the Flange-Delay bank.

• Sending Controller 32 with a value of 8 followed by

Program Change 15 will load the last Gate program

in the Plate, Gate bank.

Once a bank is selected with the PROGRAM knob, all

subsequent Program Change messages will select

MIDI Program Change messages can be disabled in

System Mode with the MIDI Pgm Change parameter

(see page 3-4 for more information).

ACTIVATING BYPASS OR TAP FUNCTIONS

The unit can recognize MIDI Program Change messages

16 to 127 (17 to 128 on some MIDI devices) on any

channels.

To assign a Program Change message to the Bypass or

Tap controls:

1. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to activate Learn mode. The Store LED will flash

slowly and the Tap LED will light to indicate that

Learn Mode is active.

2. Press the desired front panel button - Bypass or Tap.

3. Send a MIDI Program Change message to the MPX

110. The Edit LED will flash to indicate incoming

MIDI activity.

4. Press the Store button to commit the assignment.

The Store LED will flash repeatedly.

5. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to deactivate Learn Mode.

Some MIDI controllers do not allow repeated Program

Change messages to be sent with a single button. To

assist these controllers, the unit also recognizes the next

highest Program Change message with each Program

Change message it learns for Bypass and Tap. For

instance, if Program Change 20 is learned as the source

for Bypass, Program Change 21 will also control Bypass

functions. To avoid conflicting Bypass and Tap

assignments, leave a space between the assignments of

these two buttons. For instance, if Program Change 20 is

learned for Bypass, remember that 21 will also be

learned. Skip to Program Change 22 (and consequently

23) for Tap.

MIDI Operation Lexicon

LEARNING CONTINUOUS CONTROLLERS

The unit recognizes Pitch Bend, AfterTouch, and MIDI

Continuous Controllers 1 to 31 and 33 to 119.

To learn a Continuous Controller:

1. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to activate Learn mode. The Store LED will flash

slowly and the Tap LED will light to indicate that

Learn Mode is active.

2. Adjust the desired front panel control - Mix, Effects

Lvl/Bal, Adjust, Bypass, or Tap - to assign it to the

controller.

3. Move the MIDI controller through its full range. To

utilize a portion of the controller range, limit this

movement to the desired range. The Edit LED will

flash to indicate incoming MIDI activity.

4. Press the Store button to commit to the assignment.

The Store LED will flash quickly.

5. To assign another front panel control, repeat steps 2

to 4.

6. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons

to deactivate Learn Mode.

Note:

When a MIDI controller has been assigned to the

Bypass control, moving the controller above the

mid-point of its learned range engages Bypass.

Moving the controller below the mid-point range

disengages Bypass. When a MIDI controller has

been assigned to the Tap control, moving the

controller above the mid-point of its learned range

will “tap” the control as if the Tap button had been

pressed.

MIDI CLOCK

The unit can use MIDI Clock messages to apply tempo

(40 to 400bpm) to programs that use the Tap Tempo

feature. Connect a MIDI device that outputs MIDI Clock,

such as the MPX R1 foot controller or a MIDI sequencer,

to the MPX 110 MIDI IN connector. The unit will

automatically recognize and begin to process MIDI Clock

messages. When the tempo of the connected device

changes, the unit will automatically adjust its delay times

and modulation rates to match the new tempo.

This feature can be disabled with the MIDI Clock Receive

parameter in System Mode (see page 3-5).

MIDI DUMPS

MIDI Dumps can be used to save the 16 User programs,

the currently active program, or the System Mode

settings and Learned Patch assignments to a storage

device (typically a MIDI sequencer). MIDI Dumps are

performed in System Mode.

To perform a MIDI Dump:

1. Press and hold the Bypass button for 2 seconds. The

Bypass and Store LEDs will blink to indicate that

System Mode is active.

2. Set the VARIATION knob to 14 to dump the User

programs; 15 to dump the currently active (or

MIDI SYSEX MESSAGES

MIDI Sysex messages can be used to access all algorithm

parameters. More information about using this advanced

feature with the MPX 110 and other Lexicon products is

available at www.lexicon.com. The website offers

instructions, sample messages, and a complete table of

parameter Sysex addresses.

Note:

Executing MIDI Sysex messages is a complicated

process. Please observe the cautionary notes

included on the website.

PERMANENT PATCHES

The MPX 110 recognizes permanent, non-learnable

MIDI patches to provide additional MIDI control.

Permanent patches connect designated Continuous

Controllers to specific audio parameters that are not

accessible on the front panel. Permanent Patches for

each algorithm are shown on pages 5-10 and 5-11.

The unit recognizes Permanent Patches on the current

Program Load Channel only. To use a permanently

patched controller for a Learned Patch, make the unit

learn that patch on a different channel. If a controller is

used for both a Permanent and Learned Patch on the

same channel, the result will be unpredictable.

Some patched parameters are also controlled with the

Adjust knob. In these cases, either control will function

and will override adjustments made by the other.

Note:

Permanent Patches will be disabled when the System

Mode parameter MIDI Patching is set to Disabled.
