The MX-Edit Editor/Librarian - Windows
®
The mX-edIT
- WIndoWs
The included MX-Edit Editor/Librarian software lets you create, edit, compare, save and
load reverb and effects programs for use with your MX300 on your Windows or Mac
computer. While the MX300 has a finite number of User program locations, you can
create and save as many programs as you like on your computer, and load them into
your MX300 via a USB or MIDI connection at any time.
The Mac and Windows versions of the MX-Edit Editor/Librarian are almost identical in
functionality. One noticable difference is the Editor window's position; it's fixed in the
Windows version, and free-floating in the Mac version. For additional differences and
features in the Mac version, refer to the readme.txt file on the CD.

Before installing the MX-Edit Editor/Librarian software, make sure that your computer
meets the following minimum requirements:
• Pentium-III, 500 MHz or better. (1.2 GHz recommended)
• Windows XP, Service Pack 2 or higher, .NET 2.0 installed
• 512 MB RAM (1 GB recommended)
To install the included MX-Edit Editor/Librarian software in Windows XP, insert the
provided disc into your computer's CD-ROM drive. You will be guided through the
installation process – just follow the on-screen instructions and prompts. Note that
you will be prompted to connect the MX300 via the USB port during the installation
process. In order for your computer to recognize the MX300 connection, it is necessary
to have the MX300 powered on and connected via a standard USB cable.
Important: If you do not have the MX300 plugged in and turned on when the install
program runs, installation may fail. You may need to run the installation program
again after connecting the MX300. Also note that you can re-run the installation
program in Modify mode, which is useful for installing drivers on a different USB port
than the port originally connected to. This can be done with the disc, or via the Control
Panel's Add/Remove Programs option (in Windows).
