If you've been searching to find an alternative in effects processing, FireworX is the answer! It represents a very special perspective in signal processing, allowing you to express yourself and take control far beyond the capabilities of your average cookie cutter effects machine.FireworX features an 8x8 position routing grid. Simply place the algorithms anywhere on the grid and they will be automatically "wired" together in parallel and serial, depending on the position.FireworX uses a dynamic resource allocation system that allows you to monitor how much DSP power you are using. You can keep adding algorithms to the routing grid until you hit the DSP power limit without affecting the FX quality.When the desired combination of algorithms are chosen in the Routing grid, all thinkable editing tools are available, including a unique modifier matrix allowing you to twist parameters dynamically in a way you have never experienced before. Routing BlocksSetting up effects-algorithm blocks in the FireworX Routing matrix is extremely easy. With a double click on the effect block panel buttons, you insert the effect type chosen with the Value wheel. You can change the order of the effects, repeat certain blocks, add feedback loops and even insert an external device. Choosing an effect block and pushing Enter will bring up the Sub Routing I/O page of the chosen block. You can decide on where the chosen effect will get its fuel from and where to route the power. This way you have exactly the same flexibility in connecting the effects as if you had a couple of external effects-machines and a patch-bay.The number of processing blocks in a Routing setup is only limited by the DSP-power consumption. It is possible to monitor the percentage of each block, which is convenient when constructing complex routings. Modifier MatrixLooking for versatility and unlimited possibilities? The Modifier section of the FireworX is the key to versatility. Only your imagination is the limit here. Think of any possible way to combine modifiers and effect parameters, and make it happen. Creativity brought to work - all made possible by the FireworX.Available in the Modifier Matrix page, is the constant set of internal and external parameter modifiers. 8 external control inputs (e.g. assigned to MIDI), and 8 internal modifiers like e.g. ADSR's, LFO's, Envelopes + more. These modifiers can be assigned to control any parameter appearing on a list at the right of the display. This list is unique for the current effects-combination at the Routing and Edit pages.Like in a patchbay, simply connect virtual wires from the desired modifier to the parameter that dynamically should be adjusted.An example of an internal modifier is Freeform. Actually this is a tiny sequencer that allows you to create a more "rhythmic" sequence than e.g. an ADSR. This is very useful if you want a Phaser or a Tremolo to act as a percussive sidekick to a breakbeat. EditAll inserted effects-algorithms in the Routing grid has all the parameters for editing that you can expect from even the high-end stand alone effects units.When scrolling the Edit window, simply use the cursor to select effect-blocks and press Enter to access the parameter list.On top of all the algorithms, all internal Modifiers and several other functions have multiple adjustment possibilities. Factory PresetsWhen using a machine that has so many combinations of settings an essential thing is factory presets. This gives you a useful set of starting points for various applications.The FireworX has no less than 400 factory settings. The library contains lots of weird sounding effects, beautiful outdoor location reverbs and music-effects you have never dreamt were possible to create.Preset examples from the library:UltimatorVocode TrackerParanoiaAngry MoogWalkietalkieArctic StringsDub The UniverseThe WhispererEnvelope FilterLittle SpeakerWarm Phaser This way the FireworX can become the "secret weapon" for lots of producers and engineers, when they want to ad a unique touch that makes the production stand out from the crowd.Both a full package of presets made for music-production and a package for Film-production, are standard in the FireworX.
