THE LIVE-FOH BANK
The Live-FOH Bank contains presets that are quicker and
more intuitive for live-sound engineers to operate. These
presets use dual-mono routings because many small-to-
mid-sized venues own mono PAs with limited channels
and only two mono aux sends available for effects.
250 Flange/Dly
251 Chorus/Dly
252 Flange/Rvb
253 Chorus/Rvb
254 Dly/Reverb
255 Dly/Reverb
These presets have the following features:
• The Edit knobs have been re-mapped so that Edit
page 1 always contains the four primary parameters
for one of the effects; Edit page 2 always contains the
four primary parameters for the other effect. Other
Edit pages hold Mix and the less frequently used
parameters from both effects.
• In the Delay programs, two delay level controls have
been combined into one Adjust knob labelled
Tap/Dly. These programs contain two delays: one
controlled by the Tempo (generally used to create

longer echoes/delays) and one that can be set
manually with a knob labelled Delay (generally
used to create a "slap" of perhaps 60-135ms). The
Tap/Dly knob provides an equal-power tradeoff of
the delay levels. The default incorporates equal
levels of each. Note that although the Tap delay is
ideally suited for longer rhythm-sensitive effects and
the manually-controlled delay is better for shorter
times, both delays are capable of delivering a full
range of delay times and can be cross fed into each
other for more extreme effects.
• Some of the non-essential parameters (i.e. Efx/Bal
and HF Rlloff) have been removed from the Edit
pages. Because most live engineers control these with
the return channels of the system mixer, their
presence on the MPX 500 Edit pages was considered
distracting.
• The most commonly used dual mono combination
is Delay and Reverb, so there is a preset (#255) with
an alternative knob mapping for this combination. Its
first two Edit pages are arranged with delay
parameters on the left (knobs 1 and 2) and reverb
parameters on the right (knobs 3 and 4).
arrangement splits the effects' controls left to right
rather than by page.
