The Virtual Pins (VGPI and VGPO) can be used as a way of assigning the F-keys and the F-key LEDs to
internal functions in the console.
Currently it is possible to assign the F1-6 keys to remotely control the Lexicon TAP buttons of any of the
four Lexicon FX units.
The Tempo signal from the Lexicon units can be assigned to the F-key LEDs, in order to provide a visual
indication of the current tempo.
Changing the assignment of F-keys to TAP function
The first 2 Lexicon units LEX1 and LEX2 have their Delay TAP buttons assigned to F1 and F2 by default
because these settings are stored within the read-only factory default Shows.
In order to assign the TAP functions of more FX units to the F-keys, proceed as follows:
. Press the [MENU] button and select the {GPIO} menu tab.
. Ensure the {LOCAL I/O} button is selected and scroll the input and output sections down
to the VGPI and VGPO Pin settings. For LEX3, select VGPI Lex Tap3 and VGPO Lex Tap3.
.
Set the parameters for the VGPI and VGPO as shown in the picture below, and ensure the
input and output are switched ON.
Use a similar procedure for other FX units. All 4 of the FX units can be assigned to any of the F1-6 buttons
using this method. The settings will be stored when you save the current Show.
