What is the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor?
MX49/MX61 Remote Editor is a convenient tool which lets you edit/create Control Templates for the MX49/MX61
Music Synthesizer. These Control Templates let you assign desired functions on your favorite VSTi to the Knobs on
the MX49/MX61. While the MX49/MX61 itself handles up to 50 Control Templates (in a single Bank), the MX49/
MX61 Remote Editor can be used to create and organize multiple Banks, each of which contain 50 Control
Templates. Data of a single Bank containing 50 Control Templates created on the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor can
be transferred from the computer to the MX49/MX61. Also, data of the Bank you are editing (Current Bank) and the
Stored Bank can be saved to the computer as a single file (.X5R).
Data structure of the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor
Within the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor, you can select a file then edit each one of the 50 Control Template
contained in the Current Bank of the selected file. When the MX49/MX61 and the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor are
connected properly via USB, and are in ONLINE status, editing a template on the Editor affects the template of the
Edit buffer on the MX49/MX61 instrument and the data of the Edit buffer syncs the data of Current Bank. After
finishing your edits of the Current Bank, store the data of the Current Bank to the Stored Bank of the current file by
using the [Store] button. This operation also stores the data of the Edit buffer to the User memory of the instrument.
Finally, save the data of the Current Bank and Stored Bank to the computer as a single file by using the “Save” or
“Save As...” menu. The Bank data saved to the file can be recalled when starting the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor
next time. Additionally, desired Templates of the Bank can be imported to another file.
Refer to the illustration below to understand the data structure of the MX49/MX61 Remote Editor.
