[. . . ] MPX G2 Software Version 1. 1 Installation Instructions & Release Notes SAFETY SUMMARY The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this unit. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in these instructions violates safety standards of design manufacture and intended use of this unit. GROUND THE INSTRUMENT To minimize shock hazard, the unit chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. The power cable must be either plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a threecontact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. [. . . ] The notch on the ROM (shown in the figure below) should align with the notch on the ROM socket. When the ROM is inserted, inspect the pins to make sure none have been bent. Software Version 1. 1 includes the new enhancements described in this section. This time is now faster, making the effect sound less "crunchy" when the ATime parameter is set to 0. The Blue Comp effect is located in the Effect 1 and 2 banks. Lexicon around the carrier frequency. A built-in LFO modulates the carrier for added "weirdness. " Harmonics are not anti-aliased. The table shown on the next page (right column) lists all RingMod parameters. NEW PARAMETER OPTIONS Note: Comp (S) The Comp (S) effect has been added to the Effect 1 and 2 banks. These effects are identical, except Comp (S) has a mono detector linking the left and right compressors. Comp (S) includes the ATime (Attack Time) parameter modification described in the last column. The table shown on the next page (left column) lists all Comp (S) parameters. To access new parameter options, press the front panel Options button while the desired parameter is selected. Mix (0 to 100% or Off, -95 to 0dB) RingMod The RingMod effect has been added to the Effect 2 and EQ banks. It multiplies a locally generated sine wave carrier by the input signal, creating sidebands 12 When the Effect Mix option is selected, the Mix parameter can be used to set the wet-to-dry ratio of the input signal as a percentage. When the Dry Level option is selected, the Mix parameter can be used to set the dry level of the input signal. (The Level parameter indicates the wet level of the input signal no matter which option is selected. ) .

For presets, the default setting of the Mix parameter is a wet-to-dry ratio. To save a new Mix parameter setting, the effect must be saved as a User program. Refer to the MPX G2 User Guide for more information about the Mix parameter. Sets the delay time of the selected delay effect. The setting can be displayed in the formats shown in the table that begins below. Option mS Echoes:beat Description Displays the setting in milliseconds. Delay time varies with tempo, and can be adjusted by pressing the front panel Tap button. Displays the setting in feet ­ the equivalent distance from a sound source required to produce the delay. Displays the setting in meters ­ the equivalent distance from a sound source required to produce the delay. [. . . ] Follow the instructions that begin on page 15 to enable Advanced Editor Mode. Then, the name of the selected program will appear on the top line of the display. Drag word AAG2 Blue ?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMN Note: Do not release the EQ button when the "Drag word" activation message appears on the front panel display. Remember, the EQ button must be pressed and held at all times to use this feature. [. . . ]
