MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

The presets found in the SGX LT cover a wide range of diversified reverb sounds

and special effects. The following notes provide a starting point for you to use

these presets to add that special if not essential sound to your own individual

sound.

Though it is not mandatory it is strongly suggested you utilize the stereo

capabilities of the SGX LT. Many of the reverb patches and delay effects rely

heavily on stereo image or right left characteristics to achieve the brilliance

and realism found in today's and yesterday's sound!

The most important application of all is to EXPERIMENT! Remember, there are over

250 effect combinations at your fingertips. What may be used for normal desirable

effects can also be applied to create entirely new and different sounds. Your own

ideas and expressions may be realized with just a few pushes of a button. Go

ahead, have some FUN!

The reverb presets come in a variety of ways, shapes and sounds. Emphasis is

placed on different room types, image, position of the perceived sound and the

brightness or dullness of the sound.

The presets reflect a range of reverb effects with different combinations of

these characteristics. Don't be afraid to cycle through a number of presets with

the mix control fully wet so you can hear the actual image position or character

of the preset. Above all don't be afraid to experiment.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1:

Editing the MPT with the SGX LT front panel controls.

In this example, we will edit the MPT so when MIDI numbers 0 and 1 are received,

presets 64 and A1 will be recalled. It is assumed the SGX LT's MPT has not been

edited.

Press and hold MIDI, then BYPASS buttons, release both.

The display will show [0.0] with the decimal point blinking indicating that you

are in MPT edit mode, this left decimal point means that the MIDI PROGRAM number

is in the display.

*-Press and release BYPASS. The display shows [00.] indicating that MIDI number 0

recalls PRESET 0.

*-Press and hold UP until [64.] appears in the display. Now MIDI number 0 will

recall PRESET 64.

*-Press and release MIDI. The display shows [0.0]

*-Press and release UP. The display shows [0.1]

*-Press and release BYPASS. The display shows [01.] indicating that MIDI number 1

recalls PRESET 2.

*-Press and hold UP until [A1.] appears in the display. Now MIDI number 1 will

recall PRESET A1.
