Parameters that you want to assign to the Program mode Soft Row for easy
access are selected from the Edit mode Soft Row menu. When you first select
Soft Row in Edit mode, you have direct access to all of the Soft Row parameters,
exactly as in Program mode. You can scroll through these and alter values with
the knob and < and > buttons.
To change the Soft Row assignments, press and hold Edit with any Soft Row
parameter displayed. Continue to hold the button down until the message:
Entering Soft Row Assign is displayed. The Edit LED will blink, and the first
Soft Row parameter will appear on the display as shown:
Use the knob to scroll through the entire list of parameters for the current
program. Use the < and > buttons to select any of the ten Soft Row positions. With
the parameter and position you want assigned to the Soft Row displayed, press
Edit. The display will return to the Soft Row, with the new parameters in the
positions you have selected. Turn the knob to move across the Soft Row and the
< and > buttons to adjust the parameter values. Press Edit to return to the main
Edit menu. When you return to Program mode, your new Soft Row will be in
place.
The parameters in the Tempo menu: Rate, Source, Beat Value, Tap Average,
Tap Source and Source Level, allow you to select the way in which the actual
tempo in BPM is determined for each effect.
The MPX 1 gives you unique control over tempo. In the MPX 1, any delay
parameter and any time-based modulator (LFO, etc.) can be individually
assigned to an absolute time value, or assigned to a tempo value.
For example, a delay time can be set to a specific number of milliseconds, and
you will always get a delay of that number of milliseconds, regardless of tempo
changes. Alternatively, a delay time can be set to a specific ratio of echoes to
beats. Now, if you create a rhythmic echo pattern, delay times will be linked to
tempo. When you change tempo, the delay time will change to maintain the
same rhythm at the new tempo.
With the LFOs, the rate of change can be an absolute value (such as once per
second), or it can be linked to tempo (for example, once every four beats). Any
delay parameter or LFO rate can be set to its own individual rhythm, allowing you
to set up an effect which will change in a rhythmically interesting way — evolving
over time, for example, as opposed to being a mere series of repetitions. Once
delays and LFO rates are assigned, tempo rate can be easily changed in a
variety of useful ways.
