– anything you can do with a standard document or file. These files should, however, 
only be opened by MX-Edit Editor/Librarian software to prevent corruption.

SToRING A PRoGRAM

To store a program into one of the User program locations in the MX-Edit Library 
(and the corresponding location in the MX400’s physical memory), open the program 
you wish to store. With the Program Editor window active, click 

Device

, then 

Store 

Program

. The 

Store to Device 

dialog appears, allowing you to choose the User 

program location and program name to store with it. Be aware that storing a program 
in this manner will over-write the program previously stored in that location, both in 
the MX-Edit Library and the MX400 itself. Click 

Save 

to store to the selected User pro-

gram location. To cancel the operation, click 

Cancel

, or close the 

Store to Device 

dialog box.

To rename a User program in the Library, right-click on its name in the Library win-
dow and select 

Rename

. Type in the new name and press 

Enter 

to save the change.

Since the Factory programs can never be over-written, you cannot store to nor rename 
a Factory program location. You may edit a Factory program, but it must be stored to a 
User program location.

ARChIvING

Archiving is a powerful tool for preserving the current state of your MX400. When you 
archive the MX400, all of its presets and global settings are sent to the computer and 
saved to a file. When an archive is restored, the MX400 is configured exactly how it 
was when you archived it. This allows you to not only create safety backups, but create 
unique configurations for various purposes. For example, you might want to create 
a setup specifically for that gig you’re playing on the weekend, but still keep all your 
favorite studio presets intact. Use MX-Edit’s Backup feature to archive the MX400’s 
settings, then modify and store anything and everything you want, without worrying 
about reprogramming all your previous programs and settings. 

To archive the MX400, click 

Device 

and select 

Backup

. A warning will appear, 

advising you that a full Backup may take a few minutes, and asking whether you wish 
to proceed. To cancel without creating a Backup archive, click 

Cancel 

or close the 

dialog box. To proceed, click 

OK

.  A progress bar appears at the bottom of the MX-

Edit screen, indicating that a Bulk Dump is in process. When all the MX400 data is 
received, a 

Save 

dialog box appears. The default file name is the current day and date 

(e.g. 

Backup Wednesday, April 27, 2005 

) with the file extension .m2a (MX400 

Archive file) for Windows

®

, or .syx for Mac

®

. Click 

Save 

to store the Backup Archive 

file. 

To restore a saved archive, click 

Device 

and select 

Restore

. When prompted, select 

an MX400 archive file, and click 

Open

. MX-Edit then sends the MX400 archive to your 

MX400, replacing all the data in the hardware with the archived data. 

Note

: It is a good idea to create a new Backup archive file anytime you plan to restore 

the MX400 from a previous archive session.
