LXP-5 Owner's Manual
Selecting a MIDI channel
Before you can use the LXP-5 with a MIDI controller, both units must be set
to the same MIDI channel. To set the LXP-5 MIDI channel:
1. Set the controller you will be using (keyboard, foot controller, etc.) to any
MIDI channel (1-16). The LXP-5 has no OMNI mode — it responds to
only one channel at a time.
2. While holding down the LXP-5 front panel LEARN button, send a
complete MIDI message from the controller. This might be a note on a
keyboard, a sustain pedal, etc. — anything but a Program Change
message. The Running Status messages sent by some controllers will
not cause a channel change, since these messages do not contain
channel information. If you encounter difficulties with Running Status,
send a Note message followed by a Pitch Bend message. This will
interrupt any Running Status.
3. On release of the LEARN button, the LXP-5 sets itself to the channel
you just used.
Loading a program
To load a program:
1. Connect your MIDI controller to the LXP-5, and set them to the same
MIDI channel.
2. Send a MIDI Program Change message (0-127) from the controller.
Note: Some instruments use a program numbering system that starts
with 0 instead of 1. Check your owner's manual to see if your instru-
ment uses numbers 0-127 or 1-128.
