SGX2000E MPT Editor

The MPT Editor is a visual editing window specifically for the SGX2000's MIDI Program Table. This table provides mapping between standard MIDI program numbers and the numbered presets in the SGX2000. Editing this table in the SGX's LCD is somewhat tedious since you have to use the encoder to sequentially scroll through program numbers and again for each preset number. Here, you can just key the preset numbers into the appropriate "slot". Cool. Note that you can open more than one MPT editor window from the main window, allowing you to compare two files for example.

As a bonus, if you create a library of your presets (see SGX Requests) you can also view the names of the presets (filenames) corresponding to each program number.

The editor window contains a spreadsheet-like chart with each cell representing a program/preset mapping. The presets are laid out in rows representing banks of 10 presets (one column each). There are 20 rows giving you access to 200 preset cells. You can simply navigate to the desired cell and key in the desired preset number (1 thru 200) to be mapped to the program number indicated by the row/column coordinates of the chart. X15 (or other foot-controller) users should note that the original X15 spec only supported program changes thru 128. There is now an update available thru ART which, via bank switching, will now access all 200 locations. Pre-express users are still limited to the 128 entries as the bank switching is not available on these units. The display is adjusted to 13 rows (instead of the 20). The last two slots (129 & 130) are also disabled in this case.

Right(or alternate)-clicking on the chart will bring up the following context sensitive operations:


A toolbar also appears at the top of the editor and provides the following standard functions:
