Product Overview
The MPX R1 MIDI Remote Controller performs as a dedicated MIDI controller
for the Lexicon MPX 1, or as a stand-alone MIDI control unit. Either way you use
it, you'll appreciate its rugged, road-worthy construction and straightforward
control surface.
The MPX R1 has two basic operating modes: Program Mode and FX Mode.
Program Mode is used for sending MIDI Program Change messages. FX Mode
is used to send other MIDI data such as Controller messages, and for selecting
the unit's built-in 4-state relay. When used with the MPX 1, FX Mode functions
like a "virtual pedalboard". Individual effect blocks can be turned on and off, and
three-state LEDs (off, red and green) indicate whether the effect block is
unavailable (not programmed as part of the preset), off or on.The front panel FX
button toggles between Program and FX modes.
In this manual, the available functions for different applications are presented
separately — so you can easily find the sections you need to get up and running
quickly.
This first section presents general information about the R1 controls, as well as
some basic information on installation, connections and power requirements.
Chapter 2 concentrates solely on using the R1 with the MPX 1. Chapter 3
discusses the operation of the R1 as a stand-alone MIDI controller. Editing
functions are discussed in Chapter 4, followed by a section detailing advanced
applications.
