TC Electronic Fireworx Multi Effects Processor

Fireworx Multi Effects Processor description:

The TC Electronic FireworX Multi Effects Processor. Turn up the heat and get ready to explore the world of digital pyrotechnics.

The TC Electronic FireworX Multi Effects Processor is a studio multi-effects processor carefully designed to produce ultimate sound effects. The versatile Routing menu provides you with extremely flexible setup possibilities. You can combine the effect blocks in any combination you like. The FireworX is a multi-effects processor with more than 35 different algorithms grouped under the twelve effect block keys on the front panel. Each of these algorithms requires a certain amount of processing power. To be able to allow bigger algorithms that take up large amounts of power when active, the FireworX uses a dynamic processing power allocation structure. This means that you always get the advantage of the full power of the FireworX, in other words, you can keep adding algorithms to the signal chain until all the processing power of the FireworX is used. Check out the Modifier Matrix and discover a powerful tool for real-time external and internal control of the many parameters of the FireworX. The FireworX is equipped with 24 bit AD/DA converters, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Toslink and ADAT interfaces.

The main features of the TC Electronic FireworX include:

• Explosive and radical Multi-Effects Processor
• Any Effect block can be placed anywhere in the 8x8 Routing grid. Left/Right can be set up separately for Input/Output in each block.
• More than 35 different algorithms, including Expander/Gate, Soft Compressor, Hard Compressor/Limiter, Resonance Filter, Bandpass Filter, Phaser, Resonator, Resochord Filter, Formant Filter, Drive Distortion, Cruncher Distortion, Vocoder, Ring Modulator, Curve Generator Synth, Chaos Generator Synth, Noise Generator Synth, Single Voice Pitch shift, Dual Voice Pitch shift, Classic Chorus, Advanced Chorus, Classic Flanger, Advanced Flanger, Stereo Delay, Dual mono Delay, Dual Three Tap Delay, One Tap Delay, Six Tap Delay, Reverse Delay, Reverb, Advanced Reverb, Simple Tremolo, Advanced Tremolo, Simple Panner, Surround Panner, Stereo Enhancer, 5 band Parametric EQ, 4 band modifiable parametric EQ, Feedback Send, Feedback Return, Insert Send, Insert Return
• Nine external and eleven internal Modifiers that can be tied to numerous parameters. Up to twenty connections can be made simultaneously. Each connection’s Modifier relationship can be transformed.
• All nine External Modifiers can be controlled via MIDI controllers, Velocity, Pitchbend, Aftertouch, Note-onkey etc.
• Internal Modifiers include: ADSR’s, LFO’s, Envelope detectors, a Pitch detector etc.
• 24 bit A to D and D to A converters. AES/EBU, S/PDIF, Toslink and ADAT interface.
• Insert Loop, enabling you to insert any other effects processor into the Routing of the FireworX. The Loop can be Analog or Digital.
• Alpha Modulation wheel for real time control of parameters. The Alpha Mod. can send and receive MIDI. The function of the Alpha Mod. can be written into the preset name.
• All tempo based parameters can be connected to the global tempo. Each of these parameters can be set from 16 bars through 1/1 to 1/32 straight, dotted or triplet subdivisions of the global tempo. The global tempo can be tapped, dialed, or MIDI clock based.
• Each of the effect blocks can be bypassed via MIDI
