[PLANNED - 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] || [Timed Execution of Fx events] || || || || || 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 (end via MIDI Note Off) -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ---- === Fx Functions list === ;; 0 0x00 => End Fx (Fx Off) ;; 1 0x01 => On Tone A ;; 2 0x02 => Off Tone A ;; 3 0x03 => On Tone B ;; 4 0x04 => Off Tone B ;; 5 0x05 => On Tone C ;; 6 0x06 => Off Tone C ;; 7 0x07 => +Tune A [Data: 0-255] ;; 8 0x08 => -Tune A [Data: 0-255] ;; 9 0x09 => +Tune B [Data: 0-255] ;; 10 0x0A => -Tune B [Data: 0-255] ;; 11 0x0B => +Tune C [Data: 0-255] ;; 12 0x0C => -Tune C [Data: 0-255] ;; 13 0x0D => Vol.A [Data: 0-15] ;; 14 0x0E => Vol.B [Data: 0-15] ;; 15 0x0F => Vol.C [Data: 0-15] ;; 16 0x10 => On Noise A ;; 17 0x11 => Off Noise A ;; 18 0x12 => On Noise B ;; 19 0x13 => Off Noise B ;; 20 0x14 => On Noise C ;; 21 0x15 => Off Noise C ;; 22 0x16 => Noise Frq.
