Modes

The MPX G2 Modes menu allows you to specify certain system-wide param-
eters and modes of operation for convenience. Each of these is described in this
section.

Pgm Load

Pgm Load allows you to choose whether programs will be loaded manually or
automatically.
Selecting Manual allows you to scroll through programs in Program mode,
viewing them according to the DataBase criteria you've selected. Programs
which are not loaded are identified by an asterisk ( ) preceding the displayed
name, and flashing of the Program button LED. Press Program to load the
displayed program.
Selecting Auto (the default setting) will cause programs to be loaded automati-
cally following a brief timeout whenever they are selected in Program mode.

Mix

Each MPX G2 program has its own Post Mix and Level parameters, as well as
individual mix and level settings for each Effect. These settings are stored as
integral parts of the program. The Mix parameter allows you to select Program,
to have each program load with its own Mix setting, or Global which allows any
program Mix setting to become the global setting for all subsequently loaded
programs.

Pgm Bypass

Pgm Bypass allows you to determine the behavior of the MPX G2 during the
transition when a new program is loaded. The choices available are: All Mute
or Bypass.

Tempo Mode

The MPX G2 gives you an exciting approach to working with delay times and
modulation parameters. You can set these parameters in beats, allowing you to
control your programs in a completely musical way. Each MPX G2 program has
its own Tempo parameters, with tempo settings stored as an integral part of the
program. These include Tempo Rate, Tempo Source (Internal or MIDI), Beat
Value and Tap Source. The Global setting here allows you to override individual
Tempo Rate settings with a global value which can then be changed on the fly.
When shipped, the MPX G2 has the Tempo Mode set to Program, with each
program driven by its own stored tempo rate. To change to a global tempo rate,
select Global here.
Whether Tempo Mode is set to Global or Program, you can set a new tempo
rate by pressing the front panel Tap button twice. Alternatively, you can choose
to have tempo set automatically from incoming MIDI clock. The rate you tap, or
the MIDI tempo, will become the global setting.
For more information about working with the tempo parameters, see Chapter 3:
Editing.
