LXP-15 II Owner's Manual

Patching Patching, as described previously, is the ability to assign a control (
Source) to
any LXP-15 II parameter (
Destination). This allows you to alter the value of the
parameter by manipulating the control Source. For example, you can use a foot
pedal as a Source and ouput level as a Destination. This patch will allow you to
dynamically alter the volume of the sound with the motion of your foot. You can
specify what position of the pedal corresponds to the initial setting of the
parameter (pedal down, pedal up, or anywhere in between.) Furthermore you
can specify how much of a change will be produced by a full sweep of the pedal,
and which direction of motion (up or down) corresponds to an increase or
decrease of the parameter value.
All Sources are the same in the sense that each generates an output value in the
range of 0-127. The output value is used to increase or decrease the initial setting
of a Destination parameter. Sources differ in the manner in which they generate
an output. Some generate values continuously (they’re always “on”); some
generate output based on the position of a particular slider, pedal or wheel on
an external MIDI instrument. Some Sources generate output based on aspects
of physical performance such as how loud, how fast, or how hard you play. The
LXP-15 II allows you to choose from a selection of 78 different Sources for each
Destination. A table of the Sources available on the LXP-15 II is shown on the
following page, followed by a brief description of the different types of control
Sources.
