Tap Tempo; The Audition Feature - Lexicon MX200 User Manual

An LED lights next to the selected reverb
or effect label in the Active
Reverb/Effects Matrix (green LED for P1,
red for P2).
Active Reverb/Effects Matrix
The Effect Select control is cyclical,
meaning if Effect Select is pressed up
when Small Hall is active, Detune will be
the next selected effect. Similarly, if Detune
is active, and Effect Select is pressed
down, the effect will change to Small Hall.

Tap Tempo

Tap tempo can be used to match the delay
times to synchronize with the music. The
Tempo button LED flashes when a delay is
loaded. To set tempo from the front panel,
press the Tempo button twice in time with
the music. The LED will flash at a rate that
corresponds to the new tempo.
MX200 can also use MIDI Sync to set the
tempo of delays. When MX200 detects
MIDI Sync present at the MIDI In, the
Tempo LEDs light constantly to indicate
that tempo is set via MIDI Sync.
Changes made to tempo with the Tempo
button are considered program edits, and
cause the Store button LED to light.

The Audition Feature

The Audition feature provides 5 digitally
recorded audio samples that are played
back through MX200's processors at the
touch of a button. This lets you preview the
selected program and dial in reverb or
effects settings without the need for an
external audio source.
In the default setting, each tap of the
Audition button plays the next sample. To
play a single sample repeatedly, change
the Audition options.
To change Audition options:
1. Press and hold the Audition button. The
LED flashes, and the Program
Display alternately displays AU
and AL.
2. Turn the Program Select knob to
select the individual sample you want to
hear when you press the Audition
button.
The samples are:
A A L L - Audition All Samples. Each time
the Audition button is pressed, the
next sample is played.
A A 1 1 - Drum Stick Click
A A 2 2 - Snare Drum
A A 3 3 - Kick Drum
A A 4 4 - Female Vocal "Doo"
A A 5 5 - Acoustic Guitar Arpeggio
3. Press the Store button to save the new
Audition setup
The Audition button now plays the select-
ed sample each time it is pressed. The
Audition sample is a global setting, and is
not saved with presets.
