SYSTEM & MIDI
I/O Setup
Output
The FireworX will output signal on all available outputs
simultaneously, e.g. when the FireworX is using AES/EBU in,
and the Insert is set to Analog, the FireworX will send out on
AES/EBU, S/PDIF and Tos link (or ADAT) simultaneously.
The Tos link may be switched to any two ADAT channels. When
using ADAT, use the Parameter wheel to move cursor to
Left/Right boxes, and the Value wheel to select channel number.
The Level page
Input Sensitivity
Switches the Analog input sensitivity b4dBu and
-10dBV.
Analog In/Out Level
These are read-only parameters displaying the Analog Input and
the Output level (adjusted with the front panel controls). The
analog Input level should be adjusted carefully to obtain
maximum performance from the A/D converters. The Input peak
meter should read approximately -6 to -3dB for maximum
performance.
Digital In/Out level
These parameters control the global digital in and out level of the
FireworX.
The Digital In level is placed immediately after the Digital input
and the A/D converter, which means that the Digital In level
setting will influence the Analog in level as well.
The digital Out level is placed before the digital outputs and the
D/A converter, which means that the Digital Out level will
influence the Analog out level as well.
The MIDI page
In the MIDI section the global MIDI parameters of the
FireworX are set, including program change, MIDI
mapping etc. All controller related functions are set up
in the Control page
Basic Channel
The basic MIDI channel of the FireworX. This is the channel
that you should transmit Program changes on to change Presets
in the FireworX. The FireworX outputs the on/off status of the
blocks at Preset change.
NOTE: The FireworX’s Modifiers and block on/off are
configured separately, meaning that they may be transmitting on
MIDI channels different from the Basic channel.
Alpha Mod. Local on/off
This parameter makes it possible to shut off the local Alpha
Mod. wheel. This can come in handy when using the Alpha Mod.
in combination with a sequencer to avoid MIDI feedback.
Program change
This parameter enables or disables MIDI program changes on the
FireworX. When set to Enabled the FireworX will respond to
program changes incoming on the “Basic Channel”.
Bank Selection
This function is a new MIDI standard, making it possible to
Recall Presets above #128. This parameter determines whether
the FireworX should respond to this message or not. If your
MIDI device is capable of using this function, you should select
Fine or Coarse.
