Lexicon Mpx1 Help with programming.....

Post by Paul Haaker »

I just purchased an mpx1 and I thought I would be able to find youtube or other references for programming and have been unable to do so unbelievably. The Pdf manual only has about 2-3 pages and is so unclear as how to change the parameters that I've given up. Does anyone know how to program these or know of a reference that I can access to figure out what to do with this unit?

Search on MPX1 with Buddy Castleberry as the author in the electronics section here.

I haven't seen any recent posts, but I remember he had some steel settings for these.

Lexicon used to have the owners manual listed in a download. I got one and the manual and some settings from Emmons old web site. Great sounding unit when set up right. I will see if I can find and post the Emmons setting.

From Emmons. You need to understand how to program 1st.

Use this quick reference guide=

"...the three settings I use on my MPX1 are mono and only one of them is reverb, and it's set for moderate to up tempos. Here goes for the reverb:
Reverb type - Hall
RVB Mix - 22% Level - + 1db
RVB Size - 52.0M Link - on
RVB Diff - 80% P Dly - 25ms
RVB Bass - 1.5x Decay - 1.30s
RVB X Ovr - 818 Rt HC 14.1K
RVB Shape - 88 Spred - 87

The ballad delay is:
Delay mix - 15% Level - 0 db
Delay time - 2:1 Feedback - +14%
Delay damp - 3%
My third delay is a sped up version of the above to keep from having to tap my way back to the two ballpark settings from song to song.
