Selecting a Source and Destination

Patch Sources

All Sources are the same in the sense that each generates an out- put value in the range of 0-127. The output value is used to increase or decrease the setting of a Destina- tion parameter value. Some gener- ate values continuously (they're al- ways "on" ); some generate output based on the position of a particular external MIDI controller, or a footpedal, or footswitch. Some Sources generate output based on aspects of physical performance such as how loud, how fast, or how hard you play. The MPX G2 allows you to choose a Source for each Destination from the following list.

From the patch number display, press > to step to the patch Source and Destination assignment screen. The display will show the current Source assignment on the top line, and the current Destination assignment on the bottom line. One of the assignments will be flashing to let you know which is selected for adjustment.

For most applications, that's all there is to setting up a patch. The default patch values will set the controller to match the full range of its travel to the full range of the Destination parameter. To customize your patches, the MPX G2 provides a full set of additional controls. Each of these is described in the following sections.
