Controlling the LXP-5 with Two-Way Communication Two-way Connections Two way communication allows you to access and view parameters stored in the LXP-5's 128 internal registers. You can connect one or two LXP-5s to the MRC for two-way communication. The LXP-5 MIDI OUT and MIDI IN can be connected to the MRC IN1 and OUT1 or MRC IN2 and OUT2. Be sure the switch on the back of the LXP5 is set to "OUT" (see illustration). Merging and Two-way Communication Additional controllers Other MIDI devices 21 EXT 21 OUT 21 IN LXP-5 Rear panel MIDI switch must be set to "OUT" MRC When connected for two-way communication, the merging function for the input port connected to the LXP-5 must be set to "OFF" (If it is set to "ON, " communication will not be possible and the MRC will display "SYNCH TIMEOUT" NOTE: The MRC can't merge MIDI clock with an LXP device connected for two way communication. If you want to use Tempo patches and an LXP, you must set up one-way communication or use an external merger. (See Advanced Two-way Communications. ) 4-1 Lexicon MRC V4. 0/ MIDI Remote Controller MIDI data from the input port which is not connected to the LXP-5 can be merged with the data at the output port used for two-way communication. [. . . ] This allows you to transfer new settings to the MRC after front panel adjustment of the LXP-1. Storing Setups from Machine Run Mode You can store a setup you've created in any one of the MRC's sixteen internal setups, or in any one of the LXP-1's 128 user registers. Move slider 2 to select "MRC SETUP" or "LXP-1 RGSTR" 3. Press ENTER to store the setup and return to Machine Run Mode OR Press MACH to exit Setup Store Mode and return to Machine Run Mode without storing the setup. 5-9 Lexicon MRC V4. 0/ MIDI Remote Controller MRC/LXP-1 Presets When shipped from the factory, MRC Version 4. 0 has 10 setups loaded into its internal memory.
