MIDI CLOCK
The unit recognizes MIDI Clock messages and applies
the tempo (40 to 400bpm) to programs that use Tap
Tempo. Connect a MIDI device that outputs MIDI Clock,
such as the MPX R1 foot controller or a MIDI sequencer,
to the MPX 550 MIDI IN connector to have the MPX 550
automatically recognize and begin to process MIDI Clock
messages. When the tempo of the connected device
changes, the unit will automatically adjust its delay times
and modulation rates to match the new tempo.
This feature can be disabled with the System Mode
parameter MIDI Clock In.
Note:
When System Mode is active, the unit will not
respond to MIDI Clock messages. Once System
Mode is deactivated, the unit will resume
responding to MIDI Clock messages.
MIDI DUMPS
MIDI Dumps can be used to save the user programs, the
selected program, or the System Mode settings and
Learned Patch assignments to a storage device (typically
a MIDI sequencer). MIDI Dumps are performed in
System Mode (see page 3-8).
To perform a dump of the user programs, the selected
program, or the System Mode settings and Learned
Patches:
1. Press the front panel System button. The System LED
will light to indicate that System Mode is active.
2. Use the EDIT knob 1 to select:
•Dump User Bank
Executes a dump of user programs. Use Edit
knob 3 to select the desired range of user
programs: (1-16), (17-32), (33-48), or (49 to
64). When a user program dump is returned to
the unit from a MIDI storage device, the unit
saves it in the appropriate User Bank locations.
