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.

REAR PANEL OVERVIEW

1. POWER

Supplies power to the unit. Utilizes a Lexicon 1.9A, 9VAC power pack.

2. FOOTSWITCH

Allows footswitch control of front panel Bypass and Tap functions. A 1/4 inch Tip/Ring/Sleeve connector for a momentary contact footswitch is available.

3. MIDI IN, OUT/THRU

Provide MIDI operation capabilities. Two 5-pin DIN MIDI connectors are available for MIDI IN and software-selectable MIDI OUT/THRU.

4. S/PDIF OUT

Provides digital audio output. One RCA coaxial S/PDIF connector is available.

5. ANALOG OUTPUTs

Provide analog audio output. Two unbalanced, single-ended stereo output connectors are available. Both offer typical output levels of +8dBu. Use the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT for mono output. If no connection is made to the RIGHT (MONO) OUTPUT, the LEFT (PHONES) OUTPUT can be used to drive headphones at a modest volume.

6. ANALOG INPUTs

Provide analog audio input. Two unbalanced, single-ended stereo input connectors are available. Both accept levels as low as -30dBu. Input impedance is 500kΩ. These can be used as direct inputs for guitars. Use the RIGHT (MONO) INPUT for mono sources.

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.

The MPX 110 can be used as two independent effects processors with DUAL program variations 11 to 16. Designate two auxiliary sends on the console. Connect these to the unit - one to the LEFT INPUT and the other to the RIGHT (MONO) INPUT. See Section 4 to take advantage of this configuration.

Connecting to a Balanced Console

Connecting to a Dual Processor Setup with a Console

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.

REINITIALIZATION

The procedure below outlines the process to reinitialize the unit. When reinitialized, the unit will restore all System Mode parameters to their factory-default settings; replace all User programs with factory-default presets; and clear all Learned Patches.

To reinitialize the unit:

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.

SINGLE PROGRAMS

When the PROGRAM knob is set to a SINGLE program:

- VARIATION knob settings 1 to 8 will load eight variations of the first effect.

- VARIATION knob settings 9 to 16 will load eight variations of the second effect.

- See pages 4-2 to 4-17 for more information about SINGLE programs.

For example, when Plate, Gate is selected:

• VARIATION knob settings 1 to 8 will load eight different Plate program variations.
• VARIATION knob settings 9 to 16 will load eight different Gate program variations.

When Special FX is selected:

• VARIATION knob settings 1 to 16 will each load one program.
  • See page 4-18 for more information.

DUAL PROGRAMS

When the PROGRAM knob is set to a DUAL program:

• VARIATION knob settings 1 to 16 load 16 different program variations. Each program contains both effects.
  • See pages 4-20 to 4-35 for more information about DUAL programs.

USER PROGRAMS

When the PROGRAM knob is set to User:

• VARIATION knob settings 1 to 16 will each load one memory location available for storing User programs. When shipped, these locations will contain duplicates of presets.
  • See page 4-38 for more information about User programs.

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.

1. 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.

2. Set the VARIATION knob to select one of the 16 User memory locations.

3. 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.)

1. 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.

... continued on page 2-6

Tap Tempo (continued from page 2-5)

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 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 information about System Mode.)

System Mode

Overview 3-2

System Mode Parameters & Functions....3-3

System Mode can be used to configure System Mode parameters and execute MIDI Dumps. To enter System Mode, press and hold the front panel Bypass button for approximately 2 seconds. The Bypass and Store LEDs will flash slowly to indicate that System Mode is active.

The table on the next page shows System Mode parameters and functions. The VARIATION knob selects the desired parameter or function. Settings 1 to 8 select System Mode parameters. Settings 14 to 16 select MIDI Dumps.

The Edit LED shows the current setting of the selected parameter (see the table on the next page). Press the Store button to toggle the parameter setting. When VARIATION knob settings 14, 15, or 16 are selected, press the Store button to execute the selected MIDI Dump.

When finished, reset the VARIATION knob to its original setting before System Mode was activated. Otherwise, a new program will load based on this setting when

System Mode is deactivated. Use the Tap LED to determine if the VARIATION knob has been reset; it will light when the knob is set to the last loaded program.

To exit System Mode, press the Bypass button. The Store LED will flash quickly to indicate that parameter settings have changed. (The Store LED will not flash if no changes were made.)

Descriptions of all System Mode parameters and functions are available on pages 3-3 to 3-5.

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.

* The Adjust knob functions as a linear control in these variations. See page 2-2 for more information.

** When the Adjust knob is set to the left of the 12 o'clock position, decay is 15ips. When the Adjust knob is set to the right of the 12 o'clock position, decay is 7.5ips.

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.

Lexicon

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.

VARIATIONS Adjust\* Tap

1 Recital Hall Decay –
2 Small Church Decay –
3 Jazz Hall Decay –
4 Dance Hall Decay –
5 Synth Hall Decay –
6 Medium Hall Decay –
7 Large Hall Decay –
8 Large Church Decay –

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.

16 Vocal 2 Liveness Eko Delay

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.

Variations 1 to 8 provide a series of rooms, increasing in size.

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 6-voice chorus.

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.

Set the front panel Mix knob to Wet to achieve the full flange effect of these program variations.

PITCH

Altering the pitch of a sound produces a wide range of effects - from subtle detunes, to harmonies, to chords. The stereo polyphonic Pitch programs can be used to shift program material or monophonic sources within a range of one octave up to two octaves down.

For pitch correction, set the front panel Mix knob to Wet. For harmonization, set the front panel Mix knob to the desired setting.

* The Adjust knob functions as a bipolar control in these variations. See page 2-2 for more information.

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, providing a lush sound without the need for mixing in a dry signal.

Set the front panel Mix knob to Wet to achieve the full effect of these programs.

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.

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).

Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons to activate and deactivate Learn Mode.

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.

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.

MPX 110 Program Banks

0 User	8 Plate, Gate
1 Flange-Delay	9 Hall, Chamber
2 Pitch-Delay	10 Ambience, Room
3 Chorus-Delay	11 Tremolo, Rotary
4 Delay-Reverb	12 Chorus, Flange
5 Flange-Reverb	13 Pitch, Detune
6 Pitch-Reverb	14 Delay, Echo
7 Chorus-Reverb	15 Special FX

• 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

programs within that bank until a new value for Controller 32 is received, or until the PROGRAM or VARIATION knobs are adjusted.

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.

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.

CLEARING LEARNED ASSIGNMENTS

To clear a learned assignment:

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.

Note:

Be careful that any attached MIDI device (such as a footpedal) does not accidentally send any learnable message. If it does, that will be learned as a new patch.

1. Press Store to clear the assignment. The Store LED will flash quickly.

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

3. Simultaneously press the Store and Tap buttons to deactivate Learn Mode.

Learnable Front Panel Controls and Assignable MIDI Sources

Front Panel Controllers Pgm Change Control 1 to 31, 33 to 119 100 to 127 \*

Mix Yes No

* Program Change numbers 0 to 15 will be ignored, except on the MIDI channel assigned the Program Load function.

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 loaded) program; or 16 to dump the System Mode settings and Learned Patch assignments.

3. Press Store to execute the dump.

4. Press Bypass to deactivate System Mode.

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.
