[NOT IMPLEMENTED IN THE CURRENT MIDIBOX AY APPLICATION (!)] ===== MIDIBox Fx Option ===== The MIDIBox **Fx Option** (special sound effects option) is needed for more complex sound creation. With the MIDIBox AY **Fx Option** it is possible to do timed sound modifications. === Concept: === You can enable the **Fx Option** via the **MIXER MENU** [Press Key F3] [switch Fx Option on/off via key A,B,C] (Remember, every Tone has it's own MIDI Channel!). Now that the Fx Option is activated - just **adjust Fx Functions** at the **Fx Menu** [Press F8] ... === Fx Menu: === * [Fx Function] => See **Fx Functions list** below * [Fx Pos ] => Fx Position (the Fx chart allow 32 (POS 0-31) entries) * [Fx Time ] => Adjust the **Fx execution timer**: Wait 0-100 timer cycles **befor** the current Fx execution. * [Fx Data ] => Optional **Fx Function Data** (See Fx Functions list below) === Fx execution workflow: === ---- -- -- -- [MIDI: Note On :: Tone A|B|C] || MIDI || || Note On \/ || [play the user adjusted sound :: Tone A|B|C] || || \/ \/ -- -- -- [Fx Option On :: Tone A|B|C] || [Execute the timed Fx Functions] || || || || || Fx || || || || || End of Fx execution: || || 1) When a "End Fx" Function appear || || 2) When a MIDI "Note Off" event appear \/ \/ 3) After Fx Pos. 31 (31 => last Fx Position) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- || || || || . . . . . . || || || Fx Loop || || (GO Fx POS) || || || || || \/ \/ Fx Loop ends trough a MIDI Note Off event -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---- === Fx Functions list === 00 => End Fx [End of Fx Tab (Fx Off)] 01 => On Tone A 02 => Off Tone A 03 => On Tone B 04 => Off Tone B 05 => On Tone C 06 => Off Tone C 07 => +Tune A [Data: 0-255] 08 => -Tune A [Data: 0-255] 09 => +Tune B [Data: 0-255] 10 => -Tune B [Data: 0-255] 11 => +Tune C [Data: 0-255] 12 => -Tune C [Data: 0-255] 13 => Vol.A [Data: 0-15 ] 14 => Vol.B [Data: 0-15 ] 15 => Vol.C [Data: 0-15 ] 16 => On Noise A 17 => Off Noise A 18 => On Noise B 19 => Off Noise B 20 => On Noise C 21 => Off Noise C 22 => Noise Frq.

MIDI Note On #1 will be written to MIDI Note On #2, MIDI Note On #2 will be written to MIDI Note On #3 This will enable "**Chord Arpeggios**" [via Fx Option] (Date: 18.09.2009)
