The MUX is a flexible and mega-powerful modular synth and effect plug-in. You can do almost anything with it!
The MUX editor has 2 faces:
The Play Editor is for when you simply want to play with the MUX presets and tweak their front parameters.
The Deep Editor is for when you want to open the MUX and edit the very construction of a patch.
In the Play Editor you can easily browse thru MUX presets and tweak their front parameters.
If you would like to see and edit what's under the hood, you can switch to the Deep Editor by clicking the Show Deep Editor button at the top or via the Options menu.
| Customizing the Play Editor | |
- You can resize the Play Editor.
- You can drag-drop any (meta-)parameter of any sub-module of this patch onto the Play Editor.
- You can drag-drop any sub-module of this patch onto the Play Editor. It will appear as a button that opens that sub-module's editor.
- To start customizing from scratch, right-click the Play Editor -> Unlock Custom Layout
- To add a group frame, right-click the Play Editor -> Add Group Frame.
- Right-click parameter editor/module button/group-frame -> Edit Position/Size/Loox.
In the Deep Editor you can edit the modular architecture and define the meta-parameters. For detailed info on using the modular editors, click here.
Note that building modular patches is rather for experienced users.
If you want to keep things simple, just stay in the Play Editor and use the presets in the library and tweak the front panel parameters as you like 
Most important thing to know is that you need an input and an output. Then in between these you can connect whatever modules you like, including VST plug-ins.
This means that you can make MUX patches which combine several of your VST plug-ins in an original way, assign meta-parameters to specific VST parameters, and you can save this patch into your user library.
Each MUX patch can have up to 16 meta-parameters which will appear in the Play Editor and at the top of the Deep Editor.
A meta-parameter can control one or more parameters of the modules used in the MUX patch.
To edit the parameter mappings of a meta-parameter, double-click its knob or right-click its knob and choose "Edit Parameter Map".
You can also drag-drop parameters on a meta-parameter so to add/edit that mapping! Do this by dragging the parameter name onto the meta-parameter.
You can add new mappings by double-clicking the background, by pressing [Insert] or via the context menu.
If the Play Editor has not yet been customized, then effectively used meta-parameters will automatically appear in the Play Editor.
In the other case i.e. if the Play Editor has been customized, you can still add parameters to the Play Editor via drag-drop.
- When you store a .txt or .html file with the same name as a MUX patch in the same folder as that patch, the MUX context menu wil include "Show Patch Info". This is handy to document a patch.
- Drag-dropping a .Mux file on a rack slot or Mux editor will open that Mux patch file.
