General Control
General control of the FireworX is accomplished by dialing the
Parameter wheel to change position of the cursor, and the Value
wheel to change values. In many of the displays you can select
different menus by pressing the < > Arrow keys e.g. in the
Effects display you can select between Tool, Edit, Routing and
Layout. Press Enter to carry out an action (for example when
recalling a preset). Press Exit to decline an action or to leave a
sub menu.
Recall
Press Recall (if you are not already there). Make sure that the
cursor is placed on “Preset”, and dial the Value wheel to scroll
through the presets. Press Enter to load the new preset.
Quick Store
If you want to store a preset with the same name, press Store to
access the Store menu, and press Enter to confirm. The FireworX
will now automatically store your preset in the first free User
space, using the current name. When you restore an existing User
preset, the FireworX will default to the same User preset number.
Editing
Press the Effects key and select the Edit display using the < >
Arrow keys. Now there are two ways of entering the Edit display
of an effect. Doubleclick the mute key of the block you want to
edit or dial the Parameter wheel to place the cursor on the block
you want to Edit and press Enter. Press Exit to leave the Edit
display.
Routing
Changing the order of the effect blocks is done in the Routing
display. Press the Effects key and select the Routing display
using the < > Arrow keys. Place the cursor where you want to
insert an effect block, double click the mute key of the block you
want to insert and dial the Value wheel to select the right sub-
algorithm (sub-algorithm is shown in the lower text line). Now
press Enter to insert the current effect.
Pressing Enter while pointing to an effect block will enable you
to set up input/output and Mute-mode of the current block.
BASIC OPERATION Quick Reference
Input/Output Levels
When using Analog input, turn the Input/Output knobs in the
upper left corner of the front panel to adjust the levels of the
FireworX. To access the Digital Input/Output levels press the I/O
Setup key and select the Levels page using the < > Arrow keys.
NOTE: The digital In/Out levels will also affect the Analog
In/Out levels.
Effect Mute/Bypass
The twelve effect block keys on the front panel are used for
bypassing or muting the active effect blocks. The mute mode can
be different in each block.
The Alpha Modulation wheel
The Alpha Modulation wheel (on the far right hand side of the
front panel) can control a number of parameters in the current
preset simultaneously. The function of the Alpha Mod. varies
with the preset. A short description/name of the function is
provided in the Recall display.
