The Internal Modifiers

Selected

The Modifiers Page

Press the Mod key and use the < > Arrow keys to select the Modifiers page.
The Modifiers page is where you set up the parameters of the Internal Modifiers. Use the Parameter wheel to select
the Modifier you want to edit and press Enter to access the parameters of the current Modifier.

All Internal Modifiers can output values between 0-100,
depending on the settings of the Internal Modifiers own
parameters. In the Modifier Matrix, these values are translated to
the format of the connected algorithm parameter.
All Modifier and Matrix settings are stored with the Preset.
Here is an explanation of the parameters in the Modifiers. The
parameters available in the Modifier Matrix are marked with a *.

Ext. 1-8

The eight External inputs are set up in the I/O Setup, CTRL page.
They can be controlled via MIDI - Pitch Bend, Aftertouch, Note
On/Off, Note-On-Key, Note-On-Velocity, Controllers 1-127 or
Pedal.

Alpha Mod. wheel

The Alpha Mod. wheel can be used as a realtime modifier and
has several setup possibilities. The Alpha Mod. wheel is
described on page 39.

Pitch detector

The Pitch detector senses the pitch of the incoming source signal
and converts it to control information that can be used to control
the parameters of the Modifier Matrix. To achieve maximum
performance the input source should be monophonic and the

detection range should be limited to the area where the source is
present.
NOTE: The Pitch detector takes up 4% of processing power.
Lo Note
Sets the lowest note of the Pitch detection range.
Range: C0-C2
Hi Note
Sets the highest note of the Pitch detection range.
Range: C4-C6
Master Tune
Offsets the Master tune of the Pitch detector. This can be used to
make sure that the Pitch detector is in tune with the incoming
source material.

ENV. (Envelope) detector 1&2

The Envelope detectors are reading the dynamic variations of the
input of the FireworX, and outputting control values according to
that. The Envelope detectors can therefore be used on effects that
you would like to respond to the input signal like dynamic filters
or dynamic delay. The Envelope detectors will follow the exact
motion of the input signal, but you can customize the response
time by using the Attack and Release parameters.

Attack - Sets the rising time of the Envelope detector.
Release - The fallback time of the Envelope detector.
