Creating Sounds and Effects

4-13

There are two types of patches possible on the LXP-15 II: Global patches and
General Purpose patches. Global patches, accessed by turning PAGE to
“Global,” are simple Source-to-Destination links that are active for all setups. As
many as 28 global patches can be active at once. General Purpose patches
provide a more flexible Source-to-Destination link. General Purpose patches
allow you to customize the range and sensitivity of control with threshold and
scale functions. There can be as many as four General Purpose patches per
setup. The four General Purpose patches for each setup are accessed by
turning PAGE to “Patch 1,” Patch 2,” “Patch 3,” and “Patch 4.”
