Controlling the LXP-15

3. Controlling the LXP-15
The MRC can be used as a dedicated remote controller for the LXP-15. All
of the LXP-15 parameters are accessible via the MRC. In addition to being
a full-featured editor, the MRC also extends the programmability of the LXP-
15 by allowing you to create as many as four additional Dynamic MIDI
patches for each LXP-15 sound via the MRC's Machine Edit Mode. Each
patch allows you to assign one of a variety of MIDI sources or either of the
MRC's two external inputs to control any LXP-15 parameter. This makes it
possible to control the LXP-15 from eight controllers at the same time, four
per LXP-15 setup, and four per LXP-15 machine.
Be sure to read about MIDI patching in the Dynamic MIDI section of the MRC
V3.0 manual.
The MRC and LXP-15 can be connected for either one-way or two-way
communication, depending on the application.

One-way Connections

Some examples of applications that call for one-way communications are:
• to connect more than one LXP-15 to the same MRC OUT port
• to route MIDI clock to the LXP-15 for Tempo patches
The MIDI connections are simple. Connect a single MIDI cable from MIDI
OUT 1 of the MRC to MIDI IN of the LXP-15 as shown. We use OUT 1 as
an example since it is the default. Of course, you can edit an LXP-15
"machine" to transmit on OUT 2 if you wish. (See Machine Edit Mode in the
MRC V3.0 manual).
