Tempo Mode; Memory Protect - Lexicon MPX 1 - REV User Manual

The MPX 1 gives you an exciting approach to working with delay times and
modulation parameters. You can set these parameters in beats, allowing you to
control your programs in a completely musical way. Each MPX 1 program has
its own Tempo parameters, with tempo settings stored as an integral part of the
program. These include Tempo Rate, Tempo Source (Internal or MIDI), Beat
Value and Tap Source. The Global setting here allows you to override individual
Tempo Rate settings with a global value which can then be changed on the fly.
When shipped, the MPX 1 has the Tempo Mode set to Program, with each
program driven by its own stored tempo rate. To change to a global tempo rate,
select Global here.
Whether Tempo Mode is set to Global or Program, you can set a new tempo
rate by pressing the front panel Tap button twice. Alternatively, you can choose
to have tempo set automatically from incoming MIDI clock. The rate you tap, or
the MIDI tempo, will become the global setting.
For more information about working with the tempo parameters, see Chapter 3:
Editing.
The MPX 1 provides a memory protection feature to prevent accidental overwrit-
ing of your stored programs. When this control is set to On, attempting to store
a program will cause the Store process to abort, and an error message to be
displayed. To enable the Store function, select Off. (This is the default setting.)
Option: StorePrompt
To have the MPX 1 warn you whenever loading a new program would erase
changes you have made but have not saved, press Options and set
StorePrompt to On.
This control allows you to adjust the contrast of the alphanumeric display along
a range of 0-15.
The setting of Sleep mode determines the behavior of the MPX 1 when it is left
idle. When it is on, a set of messages is cycled across the display. Like a
computer screen saver, any activity on any panel control will automatically return
the MPX 1 to normal operation. When shipped, Sleep is set to English Promo
for display of MPX 1 features. You can change this mode to display feature
messages in other languages, to display general Help messages, or you can
turn the messages completely Off.
