You can use a toggle footswitch (switch open = maximum value, switch closed
= minimum value) or a momentary-contact switch to control either mute or
bypass of LXP-15 II effects.
To do either, first go to the global patch page and select the Delayed mode, then
select "Foot 1" (or whichever footswitch connector you are using) as the source.
Selecting "InLevl" as the destination, allows you to turn off the input level with the
footswitch, allowing the effect to ring on.
Selecting "OutLevl" as the destination allows you to kill the output of the LXP-
15 II with the footswitch.
Selecting "Mix" as the destination (with the mix control set to 100% Dry and
100% scaling), allows you to use the footswitch to bypass the effect.
The five “Level” page parameters (InLevl, Mix, Wet Pan, Dry Pan and OutLevl)
are good choices for global control. They are common to all five algorithms, and
the types of changes they produce are the same for every setup. For example,
you could assign them to Foot 1–5 (connected to five analog rotary controls) and
have levels, mix, and panning adjustments for all setups at your disposal.
NOTE: The Udpate function on the “Sys” page is an aid to creating patches.
When Update is set to “On,” the displayed Destination and Offset values will
change as the Source controller is moved. This allows you to see the effect of
a Source on its Destination. The Update function affects the response time of
the LXP-15 II. Once you’ve got the patch set up the way you want, set Update
to “Off” for the fastest response during performance.
Four General Purpose patches are available for each setup in the LXP-15 II. A
controller
threshold is used along with a scale factor to calculate an offset value.
The offset value us added to (or subtracted from) the initial value of the
Destination parameter. The last calculated offset is stored with the patch so that,
on recall, the parameter will have this value until the controller is moved. Four
General Purpose patches may be stored with any setup by using front panel
controls.
General Purpose patches are created from the four “Patch” pages of the
LXP-15 II. To create a General Purpose patch, first recall any setup and modify
any parameters necessary to obtain the desired sound. Turn PAGE to any of the
four “Patch” pages. Once a patch page has been selected, the patch page will
be displayed.
