Controlling the LXP Series of Multi-Effects Processors
One of the most powerful features of the MRC is its ability to be used as a
dedicated controller for Lexicon’s LXP-1, LXP-5 and LXP-15 multi-effects
processors. For maximum flexibility with your setup, the MRC can control
LXP devices using either one-way or two-way MIDI communication. This
section presents the general issues of MRC/LXP control and communica-
tion. The following sections provide specific information for MRC control of
each type of LXP processor.
Advantages of MRC control
As a dedicated LXP controller, the MRC offers functions similar to those
provided by a computer equipped with editor/librarian programs for the three
LXP effects units, as well as a MIDI merger/mapper. The MRC is much
easier to move around than a computer — so it’s a great way to take MIDI
control on the road.
With its 2

24 character display and its ability to control up to sixteen LXP
processors simultaneously, the MRC becomes the “front end” to your LXP
devices — just put them in your rack and let the MRC take over.
If you’re using a computer with your MIDI system, you can run your favorite
computer-based sequencer and simultaneously use the MRC to edit and
control your LXPs. (The MRC’s GMIDI functions can also be controlling
other MIDI instruments while the sequencer is running)
