[. . . ] 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. assumes no liability for failure to comply with these requirements. GROUND THE INSTRUMENT To minimize shock hazard, the unit chassis and cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground. [. . . ] Software Version 1. 1 includes the new enhancements described in this section. The minimum attack time set in the algorithm is greater than 0. 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. 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 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 is modeled after the Moog LC moogerfoogerTM. 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. ) .

It must be selected for each desired effect. 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. Displays the setting in a rhythmic ratio of echoes-per-beat. [. . . ] Characters to the left of the cursor will not move. · 5.
