SysEx Automation

The MPX G2 will transmit SysEx automation messages when the System mode MIDI Automation parameter is set to On. Virtually all changes made by front panel operations are transmitted as MPX G2 SysEx messages. This is intended primarily for use by editor programs and in configurations where it is desirable for one or more MPX G2s to be slaved to a single MPX G2 acting as a master. The current mode (Program, Edit or System) of the slave does not follow the master, but the actual parameter values do. (SysEx automation can also be stored on a sequencer and replayed in real-time. As a general rule, automating more than two or three SysEx parameter changes at once is not recommended.)

To set up the MPX G2 to receive SysEx automation messages from another MPX G2, or from a computer editor/sequencer, the transmitting and receiving MPX G2s should be set up as follows:

Transmitting MPX G2: System mode MIDI Automation set to On (Default=Off)

Recieving MPX G2: System mode MIDI SysEx Receive set to On (Default=On)

The Receive Device ID of the receiving MPX G2, and the Xmit Device ID of the transmitting MPX G2 must match. The Receive Device ID is an Option of the MIDI SysEx Receive parameter. The Xmit Device ID is an Option of the MIDI Automation parameter.

Controller Automation For applications where it is desirable to "automate" changes made to MPX G2 effects with its own controls ( the Knob, Footpedal or Footswitch), we recom- mend assigning the controllers to MIDI destinations (see Chapter 5: System Controls MIDI Send) and recording the MPX G2 MIDI output with a MIDI sequencer.

Reset All Controllers The MPX G2 recognizes the “Reset All Controllers” message. When received, all patched parameters are reset to their stored values, or to the last front panel- edited values. Patched parameters may also be reset from the MPX G2 front panel —in System mode select Ctl Send from the MIDI menu and press Options. (The message will be transmitted from the MPX G2 as well).

MIDI Clock and

Clock Commands

JamMan NOTE

When the JamMan effect is loaded (Delay block) the loop size will be determined by the Beat Value (number of beats) and the tempo of the incoming MIDI Clock. Like the original JamMan device, only one Tap is required.

The MPX G2 recognizes incoming MIDI clock messages when the Edit mode Tempo Source parameter is set to MIDI. Any Delay parameter set to echoes:beat, or any LFO parameter set to cycles:beat, will be synchronized to the tempo of the incoming MIDI clock.

MIDI Clock and Clock Commands (Start, Stop, Continue) are also available as Dynamic MIDI patch sources. The value of MIDI Clock when used as a patch source is a linear scaling of 0 to 127 (0 = 41 BPM and 127 = 400 BPM). The value of Clock Commands when used as a Dynamic MIDI patch source is 1 for START and CONTINUE and 0 for STOP.
