FX3 FX4 and Patch FHD FRI 2 3 FX4 PATCH EXIT 2 5 OFF 1 OFF NOTE Patch takes precedence overall effects If Patch and any individual processors are set to receive on the same channei and a MIDI program channel command occurs on that channel the processor assigned to that channel will go to the Preset defined by the Patch number If Patch is set to Omni any program change on any channel will set all processors to the Patch regardless of any other channel settings Press the Exit key twice to return to the Main Selection Display Mode NOTE Once MIDI Channel assignments are made they will be remembered by the Multifex even if the unit is turned off 5 System Exclusive Dump and Load Functions The Multifex can utilize MIDI System Exclusive for saving and loading the memory to and from an external device The Multifex can perform System Exclusive operations under the command of an external MIDI device such as the Peavey MIDI Librarian or locally from the Multifex s front panel The Multifex s display will show when either local or remote System Exclusive operations are being performed To enter the System Exclusive Display Mode press the Sysex Soft key while in the MIDI Operations Display Mode Dumping or Loading may be carried out in one of eight submodes These may be accessed by pressing the upper Next Soft key when you are in the System Exclusive Display Mode NEXT2. 0 sec Medium Dark 4 5 sec Medium Dark Bank 2 20 21 22 23 25 26 27 28 29 Bank 3 30 31 32 38 34 35 36 37 38 39 Bank 4 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 Bank 5 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 Bank 6 60 81 62 63 64 65 87 Not Programmable LGRVO LGRV1 LGRV2 LGRV3 LGRV4 LGRVS LGRV6 LGRV7 LGRV8 LGRV9 Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Large Reverb Not Programmable GTRVO GTRV1 GTRV2 GTRV3 GTRV4 GTRVS GTRV6 GTRV7 GTRV8 GTRV9 Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Gated Reverb Not Programmable Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb Reverse Gated Reverb RVGTO RVGT1 RVGT2 RVGT3 RVGT4 RVGTS RVGT6 RVGT7 RVGT8 RVGT9 Programmable CHORO CHOR1 CHOR2 CHOR3 CHOR4 CHORS CHOR6 CHOR CHOR amp Programmable Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Flange Rate 30 60 120 200 150 195 200 20 42 100 Rate 50 55 160 70 70 160 254 40 254 100 Depth 30 30 40 20 50 70 100 200 250 150 Depth 30 50 20 118 200 40 22 200 60 50 Decay 0 5
