Assigning a MIDI Channel
for Program Load
In order to use Program Change mes-
sages for Program loads as well as to control
front panel buttons, the MPX 100 is de-
signed to have one MIDI channel dedicated
to loading programs. This is called the Pro-
gram Load MIDI Channel.
Although this channel can be used to
receive other Program Change messages,
numbers 0-15 will always load the 16 varia-
tions of the currently loaded program. Pro-
gram Change messages 0-15 will be ignored
on all other MIDI Channels.
When shipped from the factory, the MPX
100 has MIDI Channel 1 assigned as the
default Program Load channel. To re-define
the Program Load assignment:
1. Simultaneously press Store and Tap to
enter Learn Mode. (The Store LED
flashes slowly and the Tap LED lights
steadily to indicate Learn Mode is active.)
2. Send a Program Change message to the
MPX 100. (The Edit LED will flash to
show incoming MIDI activity.)
3. The MPX 100 learns the MIDI Channel of
the transmitting device and re-assigns
the Program Load function to that chan-
nel.
4. Simultaneously press Store and Tap to
exit.
This Program Load channel assignment
is remembered until it is deliberately re-set
with the same procedure.
