The Global patching system is provided so you can customize the overall
response of the LXP-15 II to your specific needs. Here are some general things
to keep in mind about Global patching:
• The Delayed mode is the best choice for most performance applications
since it retains recalled settings until you move a patched control.
• The Immed mode is the best choice for editing sessions when you want to
create new setups “from scratch.”
• Don’t assign Algthm or Size to performance Sources like Velocity, Note
Number, etc. These two parameters temporarily mute the outputs of the
LXP-15 II when they are changed.
• Although you can have as many as 28 global patches active at the same
time, be aware that large numbers of active patches may cause the
response time of the LXP-15 II to slow down. (During performance, always
set the Update mode on the Sys page to “Off” for optimum response time.)
• Global patches provide control over the entire range of the assigned
Destination. The minimum and maximum values of the Destination corre-
spond to the mimimum and maximum positions of the Source. If you want
to tailor the response of the Destination to the Source, use a General
Purpose patch instead of a Global patch.
• Several delay times can be controlled with either fine or coarse parameters.
The coarse parameters: Gldyhi, Pdlyhi, DlyLhi, etc., allow you to control the
entire delay range with the Source. The fine parameters: Glidely, Predely,
Delay L, etc., provide very fine control over a small portion of the total range.
Use the coarse parameters for dramatic changes, and the fine parameters
for subtle enhancements.
• Assigning the LFO Source to multiple Destinations may cause the response
time of the LXP-15 to slow down.
• Controlling the LFO Rat Destination will not produce any audible effect
unless LFO Rat is first patched to control some other Destination.
With a momentary-contact footswitch, you can specify a global patch that will
allow you to step sequentially through your setups.To do this, set up a global
patch (in
Delayed mode) with "Setup +" as a destination and "Foot 1" (or
whichever footswitch connector you are using) as the source. With global
patches enabled, every click of the footswitch will increment the setup number,
allowing you to cycle through all presets and registers. The current setup will
always be the starting point of the cycle. You can also choose "Setup -" as a
destination to reverse direction.
Performance Tip: Arrange your setups in the registers to match your set list. By
selecting the first register at the beginning of your first set, you can simply click
through all the setup changes you need.
