Coarse and Fine Editing of ms and Hz values

Parameters whose values are dis- played in ms or Hz have overall ranges of more than 1000 units. When you select one of these pa- rameters for editing, you’ll notice that either the left or right portions of the value can be selected for editing. For quick, coarse adjustments, se- lect the left portion of the value. For fine adjustments, select the right portion of the value. The fine and coarse increments for each type of parameter are:

ms (delay times) coarse increments=100 ms fine increments=1ms

Hz (LFO rates) coarse increments=1 Hz fine increments=.01Hz

Hz (EQ Fc) coarse increments=100 Hz fine increments=1Hz

Effect Select Option: Toe Switch (when an MPX R1 is connected)

When an MPX R1 MIDI Remote Controller is connected to the MPX G2, the Toe Switch option allows you to use the R1 Toe Switch to turn the effect you are editing on, to bypass it, or to specify that the Toe Switch have no effect.

This powerful feature allows you to group different effects to be turned on or off whenever the MPX R1 Toe Switch is pressed. For example, set Wah for Off=Bypass and set Chorus for On=Bypass to switch between a Wah and Chorus whever the Toe Switch is pressed.

To assign a Toe Switch function to an effect you are editing, press Options from the FX select: display. Use the knob to select On = Bypass, Off = Bypass or disabled. Once you have made your selection, press Options again to return to Effect Edit mode.
