The selected program is now loaded in
your MX200 as well, and can be previewed
using the Audition button on the MX200’s
front panel. Any changes made in the
MX-Edit Program Editor window will also

ware.
The MX-Edit
TM
Library
The MX-Edit Library contains the 99
Factory and 99 User programs that are
currently loaded in your MX200. When
you first open MX-Edit, it communicates
via USB (or MIDI) with the MX200 hard-
ware, and populates the Library with all the
information about each of the Factory and
User programs stored in MX200’s physical
memory.
To view programs in the Library window,
double-click on the MX200 icon in the
upper left corner, then double-click the
Factory or User icon to expand the Library
and see the Factory or User program lists.
The Factory list is always the same, as
Factory programs cannot be overwritten;
the User program list represents the 99
User programs currently saved in your
MX200 hardware.

a program was opened from). Double-

current settings from the MX200’s front

Program Editor window.
To create a new, default program, click
File and select New Program. The default
program is a template that you can use
as a good generic starting point when you
want to create your own program from
scratch. It is stored in a file named Default
in the MX-Edit installation folder (normally
C:\Program Files\Lexicon\MX-Edit). Initially,
