NEW FEATURES
Software Version 1.10 includes the new features
described in this section.
NEW & IMPROVED EFFECTS
- New effects have been added to the Effect 1, Effect 2,
and EQ banks. Descriptions of these effects begin below. The table beneath each description
indicates the parameters available for the effect. Parameter descriptions are located in the MPX G2 User Guide and on pages 12 to 14 of this document.
- The Blue Comp effect time constant has been
shortened to improve performance when the ATime
(Attack Time) parameter is set to 0. The minimum attack time set in the algorithm is greater than 0. This time is now faster, making the Blue Comp effect
sound less "crunchy" when the ATime parameter is set to 0. The Blue Comp effect is located in the Effect 1 and Effect 2 banks.
- The following effects have been added to the EQ
bank: SweepFilter, Wah1, Wah2, PedalWah1,
PedalWah2, Test Tone, and Ring Mod. These effects
are identical to the effects included in the Effect 1
and Effect 2 banks.
- The compressor level in the Wah2 and PedalWah2
effects appears on the same meter as it appears on in
the RedComp effect. The compressor in all three
effects is identical.
Comp (S)
The Comp (S) effect has been added to the Effect 1 and
Effect 2 banks. It is a stereo version of the Blue Comp
effect. 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
modifcation described in the previous column.
Label Default Value Values
Mix 100% or Off 0 to 100% or
Off, -95 to 0dB

Gain 0 -72 to +24
ATime 1 0 to 2000
RTime 100 0 to 2000
RingMod
The Ring Mod effect has been added to the Effect 2
and EQ banks. It is modeled after the Big Briar
moogerfooger™. It multiplies a locally generated sine
wave carrier by the input signal, creating sidebands
around the carrier frequency. A built-in LFO modulates
the carrier for added “weirdness.” Harmonics are not
anti-aliased.

Off, -95 to 0dB

NEW PARAMETER OPTIONS
Note:
To access the new options for the parameters
described in this section, press the front panel
Options button while the desired parameter is
selected.
Mix (0 to 100% or Off, -95 to 0dB)
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.)
The Mix parameter setting is not global. It must be
selected for each desired effect. To save the Mix
parameter setting, the effect must be saved as a User
program.
Note:
When the Dry Level option is selected for the Mix
parameters in the Panner and Auto Panner effects
are not interpolated.
Note (C0 to G10 or 17to 25088)
The Note parameter can be used to set the pitch of the
sine wave generated in the Test Tone effect. Press the
front panel Options button to toggle between displaying
the setting as a MIDI note or as a frequency (Hz). The
default option is MIDI note.
Time (0 to 10000)
The Time parameter can be used to set the delay time of
the selected delay effect. The setting can be displayed in
the formats included in the table shown below.
-
mS Displays the setting in milliseconds. Delay time is fixed.
- Echoes:beat Displays the setting in a rhythmic ratio
of echoes-per-beat. Delay time varies
with tempo, and can be adjusted by
pressing the front panel Tap button.
- Feet Displays the setting in feet – the
equivalent distance from a sound source
required to produce the delay. Delay
time is fixed.
- Meters Displays the setting in meters – the
equivalent distance from a sound source
required to produce the delay. Delay
time is fixed.
- Tap mS Displays the setting in milliseconds
When the Time parameter is selected, a
new setting can be “tapped in.”
Samples* Displays the setting as a number based
on a 44100Hz sample rate (22.7 milliseconds
per sample). Resonance effects
can be created by adjusting the Time
parameter when feedback parameters
are set high.
* Lag time in the A/D/A converters sets absolute time in the box in
milliseconds. Sample delays should be added to this time to calculate
the accurate delay time.
ADVANCED EDITOR MODE
Advanced Editor Mode can be used to change preset
names.
To enable Advanced Editor Mode:
1. Load the desired preset. (See page 2-2 in the MPX
G2 User Guide for instructions to load presets.)
2. Press the front panel Store button. The Store button
LED will flash to indicate that Store Mode has been
enabled.
3. Press the front panel Options button to enable
Advanced Editor Mode. Press the Options button
again to disable Advanced Editor Mode.
The Options button LED will flash to indicate that
Advanced Editor Mode is enabled. The Effect buttons will
also flash, indicating that these buttons serve as controls
in this mode. See the Advanced Editor Mode Controls
section that begins on the next page for descriptions of
each button function.
The front panel display will appear as shown in the figure
below. The name of the selected preset will appear on
the top line of the display. A cursor will flash beneath the
first character in the preset name. A horizontal list of
available letters, numbers, and symbols will appear on
the bottom line of the front panel display.
Note:
The G2 Blue preset is used as an example in the figure
below, and will continue to be used as an
example throughout this section.
Advanced Editor Mode Controls
The front panel < No, Yes >, and Effect buttons can be
used to change the name of the selected preset.
Descriptions of these button functions begin in the next
column.
< No Button Moves the flashing cursor to the previous character in
the preset name.
< Yes Button Moves the flashing cursor to the next character in the
preset name.
Gain Button
Deletes the preset name, beginning with the character
above the flashing cursor and including all characters to
the right of the flashing cursor. Characters to the left of
the flashing cursor are not deleted. For instance, the
flashing cursor is positioned below the “l” in the G2 Blue
preset name. When the Gain button is pressed, the letters
“l,” “u,” and “e” will be deleted.
Effect 1 Button (Word Mode)
Selects Word Mode. When Word Mode is selected, an
activation message will appear briefly on the top line of
the front panel display. Then, the name of the selected
preset will appear on the top line of the display. This
sequence is shown in the figures below.
available words. The selected word will replace
characters above and to the right of the cursor.
Characters to the left of the cursor will not change.
For example, the cursor is positioned below the number“2” in the G2 Blue preset name. When a new word is
selected, it will replace the number “2,” the space, and
the letters “B,” “l,” “u,” and “e.” If the word “Ambience”
is selected, the preset name will be changed to“GAmbience.”
Refer to the Installation guide for more details.
DSP STEP COUNT
The total number of DSP steps has been increased from
190 to 200.
METERS MODE
Meters Mode can be used to view high-resolution,
horizontal level meters that monitor input and output
levels for each effect.
To enable Meters Mode:
1. Press the front panel Edit button to enable Edit Mode.
2. Rotate the front panel selection knob three clicks to
the right, until the Meters option is selected (as
shown in the figure below).
3. Press the front panel > Yes button to select this
option. The front panel display will appear as shown
in the figure below.
4. Press and hold the desired front panel Effect button.
A horizontal level meter for the selected effect will
appear on the front panel display. An example is
shown in the figure at the top of the next column.
5. Press the front panel No < button to view an input
level meter for the selected effect, or the front panel> Yes button to view an output level meter for the
selected effect.
6. Press the Effect button again to disable Meters
Mode.
