MIDIbox

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.

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 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)

(*)

Every time when a Note On event occur the MIDI Note will be written to ⇒ MIDI Note On #1. 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]
