MODIFIERS
Modifier
37
Restart - Will restart Freeform playback when the control
value is above 55%.
Samples
Sets the number of samples in one Freeform period. Maximum
number of samples is 32.
Slide Curve
Slides the Freeform curve in one sample increments, making it
possible to change the starting point to another position on the
curve.
Edit Curve
Select this parameter and press Enter to edit the curve. Use the
Parameter wheel to select the sample you want to edit and dial
the Value wheel to change the control value of the sample.
Press Exit to leave the sample editing.
Record Alpha Mod.
This makes it possible to write the Freeform sequence directly
using the Alpha Mod. wheel. Press Enter to arm the recorder and
dial the Alpha Mod. wheel. The recording will start as soon as
you start dialing the Alpha Mod. wheel.
By controlling the Alpha Mod. wheel via MIDI, you can
draw the Freeform curve using a sequencer or any other
kind of external MIDI device. The external control of the
Alpha Mod wheel is set up in the I/O Setup, CTRL page.
Function 1&2
The Functions of the FireworX can be used for several purposes.
A Function contains two control inputs called Feed 1 & 2 that are
present in the Modifier Matrix. The two inputs are combined in
different ways depending on the Function Type selected. Select
“Type” and dial the Value wheel to choose Function type.
(Feed 1+2) + Constant
This function adds the values of the two control inputs together
and adds a user definable constant. (Constant range: -1 to +1)
(Feed 1-2) + Constant
This function subtracts the values of the two control inputs and
adds a user definable constant.
(Constant range: -1 to +1)
(Feed 1x2) + Constant
This function multiplies the values of the two control inputs and
adds a user definable constant.
(Constant range: -1 to +1)
Note to Synth Freq
The “Note to Synth” Type converts control values to notes. This
can be used to convert Pitch detector or MIDI note information
to Synth control information. Feed 2 is used for Pitch Bender
control.
Example 1:
Connect the Pitch detectors output to Function 1, Feed 1 in the
Modifier Matrix. Connect the output of the Function to the input
of the “Freq” parameter of the Synth, Curve generator.
You’ve just created a monophonic synthesizer played by the pitch
of the incoming source material.
Example 2:
Set up Ext 1 to be controlled by MIDI Note-On-key. Connect the
output of Ext. 1 to Function 1, Feed 1. Connect the output of the
Function to the input of the “Freq” parameter of the Synth, Curve
Generator.
You’ve just created a monophonic synthesizer that can be played
via an external keyboard.
Check out a couple of monophonic synthesizers in
factory Preset 198 and 199 using a standard keyboard
transmitting MIDI on channel 1.
Transpose - Shifts the generated note in increments of semitones.
Range: +/- 48 Semitones.
Fine Tune - Shifts the generated note in increments of cents.
Range: +/- 50 cents.
Quantize into semitones - Makes the function approximate to the
semitone nearest to the incoming control value.
Feed 2 Pitch Bend - Feed 2 of the Function is used as Pitch
Bender. This parameter sets whether neutral position of the Pitch
Bender is “Null” or “Center” e.g. using a keyboard bender would
in most cases use the Center position as neutral.
Note to Resonance Freq
The “Note to Resonance Freq” Type converts control values to
frequency values. This can be used to convert Pitch detector or
MIDI note information to Resonance frequencies. By letting the
Resonance filter frequency follow the note or one of the
harmonics of the incoming source, you enhance the character of
that specific note. This function is very common in most older
keyboards.
Feed 2 is used for pitch bender control.
Transpose - Shifts the generated frequency in increments of
semitones.
Range: +/- 48 Semitones.
