Lexicon MX200 - Manual (Page 40)

Archiving
Archiving is a powerful tool for preserving
the current state of your MX200. When you
archive the MX200, all of its presets and
global settings are sent to the computer
and saved to a file. When an archive is
restored, the MX200 is configured exactly
how it was when you archived it. This
allows you to not only create safety back-
ups, but create unique configurations for
various purposes. For example, you might
want to create a setup specifically for that
gig you’re playing on the weekend, but still
keep all your favorite studio presets intact.
Use the MX-Edit Backup feature to
archive the MX200’s settings, then modify
and store anything and everything you
want, without worrying about reprogram-
ming all your previous programs and set-
tings.
To archive the MX200, select File >
Backup. In the dialog box, select a name
and location for the archive file. The default
name and location is untitled.syx on your
Desktop.
To restore an archive, select File >
Restore. Select an archive file to be
restored, then wait for the data to be
received by the device. MX-Edit sends the
archive information to your MX200, replac-
ing all the data in the hardware with the
archived data.
Note: It is a good idea to create a new
Backup archive file anytime you plan to
restore the MX200 from a previous archive
session.
