Note
: In Surround Configuration programs using the Stereo In/Surround Out routing
(1) and in Stereo and Dual Stereo Configuration programs using the stereo routing
(5), there is only one effect available so Effect 2 Mix will not be available.
When finished, store the changes to the program if you would like them to be recalled.
temPo Button
The
Tempo
button is used for setting the tempo parameter in delay effects. In some
cases there may be two delays set up in a program using two effects. The
Tempo
but-
ton will flash at the rate of the delay which is highlighted in the
Main Display
. To
set the tempo of the second delay, turn the
Page/Select
knob until the second delay
is highlighted in the
Main Display
. The
Tempo
button can now set the delay time
for this delay. Although the
Store

tings with the
Tempo
button, changes to tempo must be saved to the program if the
changes are to be recalled later.
ByPaSS ButtonS
The MX500 is equipped with two bypass buttons:
Effect Bypass
(located near the
Page/Select
knob) and
Program Bypass
(located near the
Program/Load
knob).
Effect Bypass
only bypasses the selected effect in the
Main Display
. This
lets you bypass effects individually in programs.
Effect Bypass
can also be saved
with the program.
Program Bypass
is a global bypass control for MX500. All
effects in all configurations are bypassed when
Program Bypass
is engaged.
There are four different options Bypass can be set to function as:
1.
Dry
- Bypasses dry signal around an effect or program.
2.
Mute
- Mutes all input and output audio.
3.
Input Dry
- Outputs signal with no processing or effects.
4.
Input Mute
- Mutes the input only.
The Bypass options can be selected in the System Menu and will affect both
Effect
Bypass
and
Program Bypass
.
