or effect name now appears in the Reverb/Effect Select button, and the Parameter
knobs in MX-Edit change position, layout, and number, depending on the default val-
ues for the selected reverb or effect.
ADJUSTING KNOBS
To make editing in MX-Edit easy and intuitive, there are three ways to adjust knobs in
MX-Edit:
Mouse - Circular
Place the cursor at the outer (shadowed) edge of a knob, then click and hold the left
mouse button. The white indicator line on the knob jumps to the mouse cursor’s
position, and follows the cursor as it moves around the circumference of the knob.
To make fine adjustments, continue to hold the left mouse button down and move
the cursor away from the knob; the white line still follows the cursor, no matter how
far away it is from the knob. (Note that this control does not apply to Macs; hold the
Option key to make fine adjustments.)
Mouse – Up / Down
Move the mouse cursor to the center of a knob; the knob is highlighted, and the cur-
sor changes to a double-headed arrow, pointing up and down. Click and hold the left
mouse button, causing the cursor to disappear. Move the mouse up to turn the knob
higher, or move the mouse down to turn the knob lower. For very fast edits, press and
hold the Ctrl key on your computer keyboard while moving the mouse; this multiplies
the adjusted value by a factor of 10 (Windows
®
only).
Arrow Keys
Highlight, then left-click on a knob to select it. Use the up (or right) arrow key to turn
the knob higher and increase the value; use the down (or left) arrow key to turn the
knob lower, decreasing the value. This is a very effective method for making small
adjustments to fine-tune your settings. For faster modifications, press and hold the Ctrl
key on your computer keyboard while pressing an arrow key to multiply each adjust-
ment by a factor of 10 (Windows only).
TEMPO
If one of the MX300’s delays is selected, the Tempo button in that processor becomes
active, and begins to flash at the Tempo rate. The tempo value is shown in milliseconds
(ms), and a musical note appears next to the displayed Delay Time. When the Delay
Time parameter is adjusted, exact divisions of time in milliseconds relative to the flash-
ing Tempo rate will cause a note value to be displayed next to the time, e.g. 16th note,
dotted-8th note, etc. The Tempo button will continue to flash at the originally select-
ed tempo, but the delay taps will occur at the rate displayed in the Delay Time value.
To change the tempo value, simply place the mouse cursor over the Tempo button,
and left-click twice to tap the tempo, just as you would on the MX300 front panel. The
Tempo buttons on the MX300 and in the Program Editor window now flash at the
new tempo.
