MIDI Operation
All MPX 1 parameters and programs can be accessed by MIDI. All MIDI
applications require the MPX 1 to be connected with one or more MIDI devices
with standard MIDI cables via the rear panel MIDI jacks.
MIDI controls, such as Transmit and Receive Channel selection are available in
the System mode MIDI menu. All of these controls are described in Chapter 5:
System Controls. Several are repeated here for your convenience.
Before using the MPX 1 with other MIDI devices, all devices must be set to the
same MIDI channel. To set the MPX 1 to receive MIDI:
1. Set the controller you will be using (keyboard, sequencer, other MPX 1,
etc.) to transmit on any MIDI channel (1-16).
2. On the MPX 1, press System. Use the knob to scroll to the MIDI menu.
Use the < and > buttons to select MIDI Receive.
3. Use the knob to select OFF, 1-16, or OMNI for receipt of MIDI messages.

Some extremely useful effects can be created by controlling MPX 1 parameters
remotely in real time. Almost all of the controllers found on a MIDI keyboard or
MIDI foot controller (pitch benders, mod wheels, sliders, switches, breath
controllers, foot pedals and footswitches) can be used to adjust MPX 1
parameters. We refer to this real time remote control capability as Dynamic
MIDI.
®
Sending a MIDI Program Change message (0-99) from the controller will load
the corresponding MPX 1 register. If any MIDI sources are active as global or
general purpose patches, moving the appropriate control on the controller will
cause the patched destination parameter to change. (See Chapter 4: Patching.)
If you want to use Dynamic MIDI, but don’t want the MPX 1 to load new registers
when you change programs on your controller, set your controller so that it
doesn't transmit Program Change messages, or set MPX 1 Pgm Change to Off
in the System mode MIDI menu.
