Tapped or dialed time

Slave to MIDI clock

Set default tempo at

Preset change

Tapped tempo in BPM.

The Tempo page

Tempo

Set the global tempo by tapping the Tempo key.

The global tempo can be used as a common tempo

guide in all Presets. All tempo related parameters like

Delay times and LFO speeds can be controlled by the

global Tempo, and each parameter can have its

subdivision of the global tempo.

Tapping a tempo into a Delay

All Delay algorithms and algorithms containing LFO speed

parameters have links to the Global Tempo. This means that a

tapped tempo can be used in any Preset that contains any of

these algorithms. To make the tempo fit your purpose, we added

a subdivision parameter to all these algorithms. All you have to

do is set up which subdivision you would like the tempo to

divide into.

Example: You want a Delay to perform 1/8 triplets. Enter the

Edit parameter page of the Delay and set the Tempo parameter to

1/8T. Now tap the BPM on the Tempo key, and the Delay will

automatically recalculate into 1/8 triplets in the current tempo.

The same goes for all the algorithms containing LFO speeds.

The algorithms able to use the global tempo are:

Delay Chorus/Flanger

Phaser LFO 1

Panner LFO 2

Tremolo Freeform

The Tempo display

Tapping the Tempo key will cause the Tempo display to pop up.

The Tempo display can stick on until you press the Tempo key

again, or it can disappear automatically. Choose whether the

Tempo should be “Sticky” or not in the Utility page.

The Tempo display, will read out the tapped BPM (Beats per

minute) and the tapped time in milliseconds. If you prefer to dial

the BPM simply place the cursor on BPM parameter, and dial the

Value wheel to change the Tempo. The FireworX is also capable

of following an incoming MIDI clock, place the cursor on the

MIDI clock parameter and select enabled.

Maximum tempo - 300 BPM.

Minimum tempo - 20 BPM.

At Preset change use default tempo

Controls whether a Preset should use the global tempo

instantaneously at Preset change or if the Preset should use the

value stored in the Preset until the next tapped tempo.

Example: You are using a delay Preset that is set to 1/4 notes,

and the global tempo is 120 BPM, that means that the actual

delay time of your Preset is 500ms. Now you make a Preset

change, and the new Preset is also set to 1/4 notes, but the delay

time parameter was stored at 400ms. Do you want the new Preset

to stay at the 400ms and not change until you tap the tempo

again, or do you want it to change to the current global tempo

(500ms)?

Selecting “Global” will make the Preset use the Global tempo,

while selecting ”Preset” will make the Preset to use the setting

stored in the Preset.

Tempo controlled via pedal/MIDI

The Tempo can be tapped via the External input jack on the back

panel of the FireworX or via a MIDI. That is setup in the I/O

Setup, CTRL (Control) display.
