Patching
Patching is the ability to assign a control (Source) to a parameter (Destination).
This allows you to alter the value of the parameter by manipulating the control
Source. For example, you can select the front panel knob as a Source and an
effect's Mix parameter as a Destination. This simple patch will allow you to
dynamically alter the mix of the effect whenever you turn the knob. You can
create as many as five patches. You can patch multiple parameters to a single
controller, or patch multiple Sources to a single Destination. This chapter
contains all the information you need to use the MPX 1 patching system. Global
Patching is described in Chapter 5: System Controls.
Note that, in the Patching System, as elsewhere, the Value button acts as a
toggle to allow you to assign "select" and "adjust" functions to either the knob
or the < and > buttons, whichever is most convenient. As the default state of the
Value button is On (lit), any step by step instructions given in this section will
assume this state.
MPX 1 Patch controls are brought right out to the front panel for easy access.
From any mode of operation, just press Patch to access these controls.
From anywhere, press Patch to immediately
access any patch assigned to a displayed
parameter, or to create or alter a patch.
Use the knob to select a Patch
number (1-5).
Patch select:
>
Patch 1
The numeric display will show the Patch
number you have selected, as long as the
Patch button is active.
When Value is lit, the < and > but-
tons select parameters, and the
knob adjusts the value of the se-
lected parameter.
The Patch button LED will flash to let you know Patch is active. The display will
show:
The Patch number you select in the alphanumeric display will be displayed on
the large numeric display as well. This display will remain on as long as you are
in the Patching System to identify the currently selected patch.
