Introducing Version 4.0
Owner's Manual Addendum
1. Introducing Version 4.0
Congratulations on your purchase of the MRC V4.0 MIDI Remote Controller.
Version 4.0 adds some significant new features and changes to Version 3.0
of the MRC. These changes and features are based on feedback from
present MRC users.This addendum is not a replacement of the Version 3.0
MRC Owner’s Manual. It describes only the new features and changes
added by Version 4.0. If you are new to the MRC and MIDI control, be sure
to refer to the V3.0 manual for general descriptions of, and operational
guidelines for the MRC. We also suggest that you read
Controlling the LXP-
15 in this addendum for the best understanding of MRC control with any LXP
effects processor.
V4.0 Features
The following features have been added to the MRC by Version 4.0:
• The MRC can now control the Lexicon LXP-15 Multi-Effects Processor.
A new machine type for the LXP-15 has been added to the MRC’s
machine definitions.
•
Two-way communication has been added to allow the MRC to upload
user registers directly from Lexicon LXP-1, LXP-5, and LXP-15 multi-
effects processors for parameter display and control.
V4.0 Changes
The following changes have been made by Version 4.0:
•
The PCM-70 machine type has been replaced by the LXP-15 machine
type. Although Version 4.0 cannot be used as a dedicated controller for
the PCM-70, you can still control the PCM-70 from a GMIDI machine
type.
•
The two-way communication features of Version 4.0 eliminate the need
to hold large banks of LXP-1, LXP-5, and LXP-15 setups in internal
memory. (Each LXP-type machine can access sixteen internal MRC
presets
and 128 external LXP registers.)
