Controlling the LXP-5 with Two-Way Communication
4. Controlling the LXP-5 with
Two-Way Communication
Two-way Connections
Two way communication allows you to access and view parameters stored
in the LXP-5’s 128 internal registers. You can connect one or two LXP-5s to
the MRC for two-way communication. Two MIDI cables are required for each
LXP-5. The LXP-5 MIDI OUT and MIDI IN can be connected to the MRC IN1
and OUT1 or MRC IN2 and OUT2.
Be sure the switch on the back of the LXP-
5 is set to “OUT” (see illustration).
Merging and Two-way Communication
When connected for two-way communication, the merging function for the
input port connected to the LXP-5 must be set to “OFF” (If it is set to “ON,”
communication will not be possible and the MRC will display “SYNCH
TIMEOUT”
NOTE: The MRC can’t merge MIDI clock with an LXP device connected
for two way communication. If you want to use Tempo patches and an
LXP, you must set up one-way communication or use an external merger.

Advanced Two-way Communications.)
