An LED lights next to the selected reverb

or effect label in the Active

Reverb/Effects Matrix (green LED for P1,

red for P2).

The Effect Select control is cyclical,

meaning if Effect Select is pressed up

when Small Hall is active, Detune will be

the next selected effect. Similarly, if Detune

is active, and Effect Select is pressed

down, the effect will change to Small Hall.

Tap Tempo

Tap tempo can be used to match the delay

times to synchronize with the music. The

Tempo button LED flashes when a delay is

loaded. To set tempo from the front panel,

press the Tempo button twice in time with

the music. The LED will flash at a rate that

corresponds to the new tempo.

MX200 can also use MIDI Sync to set the

tempo of delays. When MX200 detects

MIDI Sync present at the MIDI In, the

Tempo LEDs light constantly to indicate

that tempo is set via MIDI Sync.

Changes made to tempo with the Tempo

button are considered program edits, and

cause the Store button LED to light.

The Audition Feature

The Audition feature provides 5 digitally

recorded audio samples that are played

back through MX200’s processors at the

touch of a button. This lets you preview the

selected program and dial in reverb or

effects settings without the need for an

external audio source.

In the default setting, each tap of the

Audition button plays the next sample. To

play a single sample repeatedly, change

the Audition options.

To change Audition options:

1. Press and hold the Audition button. The

LED flashes, and the Program

Display alternately displays AU

and AL.

2. Turn the Program Select knob to

select the individual sample you want to

hear when you press the Audition

button.

The samples are:

A

AL

L

- Audition All Samples. Each time

the Audition button is pressed, the

next sample is played.
