Program Editor appears, with the selected

program’s name in the Title Bar and

Program Name field. The program settings

are also reflected in the Parameter knobs

and buttons in the Program Editor window.

The selected program is now loaded in

your MX200 as well, and can be previewed

using the Audition button on the MX200’s

front panel. Any changes made in the MX-

Edit Program Editor window will also occur

simultaneously on the MX200 hardware.

The MX-Edit

TM

Library

The MX-Edit Library contains the 99

Factory and 99 User programs that are

currently loaded in your MX200. When you

first open MX-Edit, it communicates via

USB (or MIDI) with the MX200 hardware,

and populates the Library with all the infor-

mation about each of the Factory and User

programs stored in MX200’s physical

memory.

To view programs in the Library window,

double-click on the MX200 icon in the

upper left corner, then double-click the

Factory or User icon to expand the Library

and see the Factory or User program lists.

The Factory list is always the same, as

Factory programs cannot be overwritten;

the User program list represents the 99

User programs currently saved in your

MX200 hardware.

Opening or Creating a

Program

To open a program, choose one of the fol-

• To open a Factory or User

program from the MX-Edit Library,

double click on that program number in

the Library window.

• To open a program that has been saved

to your computer (but doesn’t appear in

the MX-Edit Library), click File and

select Open Program. By default,

the Open dialog looks in the My

Documents folder (or the last folder that

a program was opened from). Double-

click the program to load it.

• To open a program with the currently

active settings from the MX200, select

Open Current Program in the

Device menu. This will retrieve all

current settings from the MX200’s front

panel, and display those settings in the

Program Editor window.

To create a new, default program, click File

and select New Program. The default pro-

gram is a template that you can use as a

good generic starting point when you want

to create your own program from scratch. It

is stored in a file named Default in the MX-

Edit installation folder (normally

C:\Program Files\Lexicon\MX-Edit). Initially,
