Midi Clock; Midi Dumps - Lexicon MPX 500 User Manual

MIDI Operation

MIDI Clock

The MPX 500 recognizes MIDI Clock messages and applies the tempo (40-400 BPM) to any program
which utilizes the Tap-tempo feature. Connect a MIDI device which outputs MIDI Clock (such as the
MPX R1 foot controller or a MIDI sequencer) to the MPX 500 MIDI IN jack, to have the MPX 500
automatically recognize and begin to process the MIDI clocks. When you change tempo on the
connected device, the MPX 500 will follow along and adjust its delay times or rates to match the tempo.
This can be disabled with the MIDI Clock parameter in System Mode.

MIDI Dumps

MIDI Dumps allow you to back up User programs, the currently running program, or your System Mode
settings and Learned patch assignments, to a storage device (typically, a sequencer).
MIDI Dumps are performed in System Mode. To perform a dump of the User programs, the current
program, or all of the System Mode parameter settings:
1. Press System. The LED will light to indicate you are in System Mode.
2. Turn Edit Knob 1 to select:
Dump User Programs
Dump Current Program
Dump System settings and Learned patch assignments
3. Press Store to execute the selected dump.
4. Press System again to exit System Mode.
NOTE: Dumps will not be executed unless the System parameter MIDI Out/Thru is set to Out (the
default setting.)
