This listing is for placing preorders for the upcoming MPG-7X programmer, which supports stock SJX/MKS-70/JX-8P, and all Vecoven modified units (Vecoven 3.x, 4.x, 5.x with and without PWM). The units are expected to ship by the end of September or earlier if the parts arrive faster than expected. We have a limited number of units available out of this first batch. Payment for the unit and shipping is required to reserve a unit from this batch of 25.
MPG-7X features a panel control for every available parameter on the synthesizer, including all patch menu parameters. The front panel features the ability to see all modulation routings at once, eliminating the need to peek at them. This makes patch editing faster and more immediate. The MPG-7X also allows users to store patches with a single button press, eliminating the need to use the TONE/TONE/PATCH system on the original synth. Two of any supported synth can be controlled with the MPG-7X.
MPG-7X is a 6U unit, which can be used as a desktop controller, or rackmounted controller (With purchase of optional rack ears). The enclosure is all metal, with a silkscreened panel. No part of the enclosure is plastic, and the unit has a hefty, solid feel. The unit ships with 128k of onboard memory, and can be expanded if needed using the optional MPG-7X memory card.
MPG-7X features 2 sets if 5-pin DIN MIDI IN/OUT jacks, as well as USB MIDI.
Full MIDI implementation. Sends MIDI data via sysex, or MIDI CC. DOES NOT SUPPORT PG-800 PROTOCOL. This means if you have a Super JX, you must be updated to a version of firmware that allows MIDI sysex or CC control. (The last version of Roland firmware or Vecoven 3.x +) Midi input merges incoming data to be sent to the JX, so no need to merge the MPG and your MIDI controller to play the JX while editing.
Can be used with any combination of stock and Vecoven JX8P, Super JX, and MKS-70.
Patch parametersgives user direct and quick access to deep patch parameters including assign mode, glide, key mode, patch detune, chromatic detune, tone select, chase play and more. All 'patch menu' functions can be controlled with the front panel rotary pots and switches.
Multi-unit poly mode lets users daisy chain 2 synths and treats them as one synth with double the polyphony. This will work on any 2 identical synths, not just SJX/MKS70/JX8P. If you own MPG-70, there's no need to purchase a separate "poly chainer" device for your synths.
PEEK Mode lets users see what a parameter value is currently set to with the push of a button.
Patch Generator provides users with endless new patches. Most patch generators generate musically questionable jibberish, but not ours. Choose from over a dozen categories of sounds, including basses, pads, polysynths, bells/chimes, organ, piano, strings, brass, and more.
MUTE Mode allows only the currently edited layer to be heard, making editing of complex multi-layer sounds easy.
Every parameter can be controlled with CC messages.
Extensive MIDI modulation matrix allows users to control any combination of parameters on the synth with any modulation source or CC. Want to use aftertouch to control a bunch of stuff? It's not a problem with MPG-7X.
MIDI Data Filtering - Filter out specific MIDI data including sysex, real-time, mod wheel, aftertouch, pitch bend, program change and note data.
CHORD MODE - Controller allows chord mode to be used on both the MAIN and the AUX synths, and with separate chords.
Custom user CC maps can be created for controlling other synths while controlling the JX. Each slider can have a CC number (0-127) assigned to it, allowing you to send any CC message using any slider. This allows users to control other synths from their MPG-70. The assignable CC maps can be saved and recalled for future use.
Three CROSSFADE modes: Crossfade between DCO 1 and 2. Crossfade between UPPER and LOWER voices. Crossfade between any combination of 2 JX or MKS70s.
INIT TONE- create a simple starter tone with a button press, to initialize all parameters. Never need to zero all of the parameters again when creating a new sound from scratch.
Manual mode is available to transmit the current position of all sliders.
Sliders can be set to output MIDI CC messages that can be easily recorded and played back with any DAW.
Freeze Mode will cue up any parameter changes until the mooment you want them all to take effect. This is handy when you need a bunch of changes to happen in an exact moment.
Graphic display of envelope shapes, as well as waveforms and parameter values.
Power is supplied via a 9V, 2A, center positive universal AC adapter (Included).
