Mode 2-lf the first key is held for less than .6 seconds, then the second
keystroke must occur within 3 seconds, or the MPX will ignore the first
keystroke. Thus, an accidentally touched key will automatically clear after 3
seconds, leaving the MPX in ready status.
6. lf you're in doubt about the current status of the MPX, press the CLR (clear)
key prior to initiating any entry The CLR key clears any pending patch trans-
mission entries without affecting the selected Midi channel.
APPL|CAT'OTS..
The MPX provides remote access to Midi program changes without the user
having to be near the receiving units. This allows great freedom in recording,
broadcast, and stage situations.The MPX also provides program change capa-
bility for musicians whose instruments don't incorporate Midi patch change
(such as guitar, wind instruments, drums and percussion) yet need to access
remote Midi gearon stage or in the studio. In complex keyboard setups where
program change capability is already incorporated, the MPX offers a much
higher degree of patch change flexibility in that it can transmitto 100 Midi pro-
grams on all 16 Midi channels individually or srmultaneously.
Thus, patch
change schemes can be superceded atwilland Mididevices can be organized
in groups according to Midichannel.
FEATUBES!
At the heart of the M PX is a cMos microcomputer. lts extremely low power con-
sumption and the MPX's unique circuit design offer battery life on the orderof 2
years under normal service. When any key is pressed, the micro-computer
draws power from the batteries only long enough to recognize the key being
pressed, and transmit the Midi data, whereupon the microcomputer goes to
'sleep.'
lf a key is inadvertently pressed for extended periods of time, the
microcomputer will recognize this condition and go to sleep to preserve the
batteries.when the key is released the MPXwillreturn to normalreadystatus.
PAECAUT'OTUS;
lf the MPX is to be unused for extended periods of time (a year or more; a few
months in extremely hot, cold or wet climates), we strongly recommend that you
remove the batteries from the unit. Corrosive leakage from exhausted batteries
can damage the battery contacts and electronic circuits inside the MPX.
