2. BASIC OPERATION (PRESET MODE)

2.1 Initial Power Up

The MTX-5 requires a DC9V power supply. At initial power-up, the MTX-5 loads data that fits the usage mode and
starts with the first preset on bank 1.

Select a Preset
The MTX-5 has 870 presets and 1 global preset that you can choose from, and they're arranged in banks of three.
When the MTX-5 powers up, it selects Page 1, Preset 1 and Bank 1.
Press P1 and P2 switches or P2 and P3 switches simultaneously to shift other banks, pressing one of the three
switches (P1~P3) selects a preset in the new bank.
Press P1 and P2 switches or P2 and P3 switches simultaneously to scroll through the 290 available banks.
The bank number on the LCD display will blink and the LEDs above P1~P3 switches will turn off.
The preset is selected via pressing any switches from P1 through P3.
The bank number on the LCD display will stop blinking and the LED above the switch will be turned on in blue.
The Global Preset is a preset with all the capabilities of Preset 1 through 3, but is the same for all banks. Pressing
the switch of a preset that is already on selects the global preset and will cause the LED above the switch to be
turned off. To enable/disable the Global Preset, refer to the 4 4 .5.2 Others -> Pst 2nd Press on the page 23 of the
manual.
BPM change
Tapping the TAP switch will change the MIDI Time Clock. At this time, the Global BPM will be changed to the tempo
of your taps and the changed BPM is display on the LCD for 2 seconds. While the BPM is displayed on the LCD,
you can increase/decrease the BPM one by one with the BANK UP or BANK DOWN. The changed Global BPM is
applied to the current bank or song. In other words, the Preset BPM stored in the current bank or song is ignored.
Page change
The Page switch is set to have two functions. Press for a short time to increase the page number, and hold to save
the changed IA combination to the current preset.
The table below shows the functions of the switches in Page 1.
