The Mx-Edit Library; Editing A Program - Lexicon MX500 Owner's Manual

The MX-Edit Editor/Librarian
TM
Double-click a program name to open it in the editor. The program settings are reflect-
ed in the Parameter knobs and buttons in the Program Editor window.
The selected program is now loaded in your MX500. Any changes made in the MX-Edit
Program Editor window will also occur simultaneously on the MX500 hardware.
The mX-edIT lIbrary
Tm
The MX-Edit Library contains the Factory and User programs that are currently loaded
in your MX500. When you first open MX-Edit, it communicates via FireWire TM (or
MIDI) with the MX500 hardware, and populates the Library with all the information
about each of the Factory and User programs stored in MX500's physical memory.
To view programs in the Library window, click the MX500 tab in the upper left corner,
then double-click the Factory or User icon to expand the Library and see the Factory or
User program lists. The Factory list is always the same, as Factory programs cannot be
overwritten; the User program list represents the User programs currently saved in your
MX500 hardware.
Note that there may be two tabs below the tool bar (one for each processor in the
MX500, depending on the MX500's mode). Each tab has its own list of programs
(Factory and User), and its own Program Editor window. You can load and edit pro-
grams for each processor via these two tabs.
The Library can support multiple devices at the same time. Each device that is con-
nected to the Library is represented by a name and an icon next to the tool bar (just
below the menus). To view, load, and edit programs for a device, click its icon.
