MPX 500 Version 2 Software Release Notes
THE USER BANK
The Version 2 Software expands the User Bank to hold 64
programs, instead of the original 30. Programs are stored
and recalled exactly the same way as in the Version 1
Software of the MPX 500. However, User Bank dumps to
MIDI (accomplished on the System page) are performed
differently. Dumps are now performed in groups of 16
programs rather than the entire User Bank at once. When
"Dump User Bank" on the System page is selected, the
display asks which group to dump, either 1-16, 17-32,
33-48, or 49-64. Use Knob 3 (the same knob used to
change other System Parameters) to change selections.
When one of these dumps is sent back to the MPX 500
from an external MIDI storage device, the MPX 500
recognizes which set it contains and automatically stores
it in the appropriate User Bank locations.
The MPX 500 Version 2 software will also recognize and
accept User Bank dumps made from Version 1, and will
automatically store these programs in User Bank locations
1-30. Since the new User Bank programs contain
Compressor settings, default values representing "off" will
be inserted into each program.

Installation of the MPX 500 Version 2 Software Upgrade
will reset the system configuration to factory-default
settings. To preserve System Parameter settings and User
Bank programs, perform the following steps:
1. Dump the System Parameters or User Bank into an
external MIDI device before installing the upgrade.
(These are two separate dumps.)
2. Install the Version 2 software upgrade.
3. Send the previously saved System Parameter or User
Bank dump back to the MPX 500.
Note:
Some of the Plate, Chamber, and Room presets
have been changed slightly, and the Ambience
presets have been improved. The characters of
all the presets have been preserved in Version 2,
with minor exceptions. If the User Bank contains
programs that were based on these, they may
not sound exactly the same. This is especially true
if significant edits were made via the Adjust
parameter.
