SYSTEM & MIDI I/O Setup
which type the current product is using).
If set to disabled, the FireworX will act as a standard MIDI
product.
Sysex device ID
The System exclusive ID of the FireworX. This is used when
performing bulk dumps to and from the FireworX.
Program change offset
With this parameter you are able to add to or subtract from the
incoming Program change; e.g. the incoming Program change is
Preset 123, and the offset is set to +1, the Program change will
now be 124.
NOTE: The FireworX Presets start at #1.
Mapping mode
Sets which bank incoming program changes should be send to:
ROM (Factory), USER, CARD or Custom. This means that you
can guide all incoming Program changes to any of the three
banks, or you can design your own Custom MIDI map.
Custom Map
In the Custom Map you can decide what every incoming
Program change should map to, using the “Map Program Change
No.” and the “Into Preset” parameters.
Map Program change no.
Use this parameter to select the Program change number you
want to remap.
Into Preset
Use this parameter to set the new destination of the selected
program change number.
Reset Custom Map
Place the cursor on this parameter and press Enter to Reset the
Custom map.
Ext. Controllers
There are two physical connection possibilities when connecting
an external controller to the FireworX. One way is to connect it
directly to the External Control jack on the back panel of the
FireworX. The other way is to MIDI controllers, connecting to
the MIDI In socket of the FireworX. The Alpha Mod. and the
Effect bypass uses the set up as both send and receive controller.
This means that e.g. the Alpha Mod. control values are
transmitted on the same channel and controller number as the
Alpha Mod. is responding to.
To make it easy for you to set up an External controller,
we designed a Learn function. Place the cursor on the
parameter you want to control, press Enter to activate
Learn, and move your External controller. The FireworX
will now automatically detect the incoming controller, no
matter if it is connected to MIDI or to the pedal jack.
In each of the following parameters, you can setup the input that
the current parameter should be controlled by. In the first column
you set up the source and in the second column you set up the
type of the controller. Here is a description of the possibilities -
Column 1
Pedal: The FireworX pedal input (see back
panel).
MIDI basic: The parameter will respond to the basic
FireworX MIDI channel (set in MIDI).
MIDI Omni: The current parameter will respond to
all channels.
MIDI 1-16: The parameter will only respond to this
channel.
Column 2
(please note that this column is only available when col.1 is set to
MIDI).
Pitch Bend Standard MIDI Pitch Bend.
Aftertouch Standard MIDI Aftertouch.
Note-On/Off Standard MIDI Note-On/Off.
Note-On key Standard MIDI Note-On key.
Note On Velocity Standard MIDI Velocity.
Controller 0-127 MIDI standard controllers.
Prg. Change
The Program Change feature is very
special.
If a parameter is set to a certain Program Change, the
current parameter will be toggled on/off by the current
Preset change.
NOTE: If you are using a Program Change on the MIDI basic
channel for controller purposes, the current Program Change will
be ignored and will not perform a program change on the
FireworX.
Setup bank
The FireworX has four banks that you can use for your different
setups. By using the Value wheel, you can change the active bank
from 1 through 4. The banks are instantaneously Stored and
Recalled, meaning that any change you make in the Control
menu is remembered in the current bank, and Recalled the next
time you select that particular bank.
Each bank holds every parameter setting in the Control menu.
