300 V 3.0 <strong>Owner's</strong> <strong>Manual</strong>Real-time MIDIEffects Automation<strong>Lexicon</strong>The 300 can be automated in a number of different ways, depending on yourapplications, and on the capabilities of your MIDI sequencer.The six major categories of MIDI Automation are:1. Using the 300's System Exclusive transmissions to record and play individualparameter changes.2. Using the 300's Non-Registered Parameter transmissions to record andplay individual parmeter changes.3. Using MIDI Program Change messages to load Setups or Effects.4. Using MIDI Controller information and Dynamic MIDI ® patches to record andplay parameter changes.5. Using the 300's System Exclusive or Non-Registered Parameter messagesthat are the result of Dynamic MIDI ® patches. This allows you to control,record, and play as many as five of the 300's variable parameters simultaneously.6. Controlling multiple 300s from a single master 300.When using the 300's Automation capabilities, it is good practice to put the 300on a different MIDI Channel from those used by other equipment in your system.This avoids the possibility of the 300 responding to commands that aren't reallyintended for it.Using Real-time SysExand Non-RegisteredParametersThe 300 will transmit System Exclusive or Non-Registered Parameter messagesas you vary any of the available parameters if this function is assigned inautomation mode. As you turn the Soft knob to vary one of the 300's effectparameters, MIDI data in the selected output format will be transmitted from the300's rear panel MIDI OUT connector as a Program Change. (All parametervalues are sent when the effect itself is changed.) This information can berecorded on your sequencer.To set the automation mode, use the MIDI Control page in Control mode. Pressthe key under "AUTO", and use the Soft knob to select either "SysEx" or "NonregisteredParams". There is also an "OFF" setting to prevent unwanted MIDItransmissions.Once you have selected an automation mode, simply put your sequencer intoRecord, and change the 300's parameters to get the sounds you want. When youplay the sequence back, the 300 will respond to the recorded information just asit was recorded.Note: The choice between SysEx or Non-Registered Parameters is determinedby your sequencer's capabilities, and your current utilization of its availablefunctions. With a bit of experimentation, and taking into consideration other MIDIdata you need to record, you can find the best combination for your equipment.Note: Program Change messages are transmitted over the PARAM MIDIchannel, regardless of automation mode.7-6
