Lexicon MRC V4.0/ MIDI Remote Controller
It is important to note that two-way communication creates a closed-loop
between the two MIDI devices. Unlike a one-way configuration, it is not a
simple matter to connect additional devices to a two-way configuration. This
is because MIDI outputs cannot be combined on a single cable without a
MIDI
merger.
The MRC can be be used in both one-way and two-way configurations.
Since the MRC already “knows” the parameters of the LXP-1, LXP-5 and
LXP-15, it can be used as an editor/librarian in a one-way system. Its dual
in and out ports and built-in merger allow expanded functionality when used
in a two-way configuration. You can, for example, merge selected MIDI
controller messages from MIDI IN 2 with MIDI OUT 1. This makes it possible
to control an LXP from a MIDI keyboard (or other MIDI controller) while the
MRC and LXP are set up for two-way communication.
