Routing Map

The MPX 1 allows you to reconfigure the effect blocks along audio paths of your
own design. The Routing Map is a graphic display that shows routing and
connections between the MPX 1 effect blocks. Use the Routing Map to change
connections between individual effects and also to change the overall routing
configuration of all six effect blocks as a group. All of the routing controls
available in the Routing Map menu are explained in this section, along with
examples of the selections you can make. Remember that you can change the
order of the effect blocks as well. This is covered in the next section Effect
Ordering
. In these examples, we'll use the default effect order to keep things
simple.

The MPX 1 supports two independent stereo paths for signal routing between
blocks. The input path can be split into two, and once split, the two paths can be
merged together again. These two paths are referred to as Upper and Lower.

The audio path through a generic MPX 1 Effect block looks like this:

Note that the dry path through the block is stereo. The wet path through the block
can be stereo or mono in, and stereo or mono out, depending on the particular
effect.

Each of the Effect blocks (Pitch, Chorus, EQ, Mod, Delay and Reverb) is
represented in the following discussion as a simple box identified by its first initial
(P, C, E, M, D and R). This is also the way each block is represented in the
MPX 1 Routing Map display. MPX 1 inputs and outputs are represented by the
letters

I

and

O

.

Inactive Effects are represented (here and in
the Routing Map) by lower case letters.

Active Effects are represented (here and in
the Routing Map) by upper case letters.
