MIDI Operation
All LXP-15 parameters, presets and registers can be accessed by MIDI. All MIDI
applications require the LXP-15 to be connected with one or more MIDI devices
with standard MIDI cables via the rear-panel MIDI jacks. We’ll describe several
typical MIDI configurations below.
Before you can use the LXP-15 with other MIDI devices, they must all be set to
the same MIDI channel. To set the LXP-15 MIDI channel:
1. Set the controller you will be using (keyboard, sequencer, other LXP-15, etc.)
to transmit on any MIDI channel (1-16).
2. On the LXP-15, turn PAGE to “Sys.” The display will show:
MIDI chn Contrast Bright Mem Prot Update
1 8 3 Off Off
Select “MIDI chn” by pressing the button directly beneath it. Then use ADJUST
to select the same MIDI channel as your controller.
NOTE: When “MIDI chn” is set to “OMNI,” the LXP-15 transmits on channel 1
and receives on channels 1-16.
Some extremely useful effects can be created by controlling the LXP-15’s
variable 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
the LXP-15’s parameters. We refer to this real time remote control capability as
Dynamic MIDI
.
Sending a MIDI Program Change message (1-128) from the controller will load
the corresponding LXP-15 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
Patching
.) If you want
to use Dynamic MIDI, but don’t want the LXP-15 to load new registers when you
change programs on your controller, set you controller so that it doesn’t transmit
Program Change messages.
