The FireworX 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. 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.Our philosophy is to never cut corners on processing power. Our new state-of-the-art algorithms required a powerful platform on which to operate, so the Axe-Fx II features two (count 'em) 600 MHz dual-core Analog Devices TigerSHARCTM Digital Signal Processors working in tandem. One processor is devoted solely to amp modeling while the other handles effects processing and system tasks. An ultra-high-speed bus interconnects the two processors, shuttling data back and forth. Mated to the processors is a high-speed, 64-bit external memory bus and twice the RAM of previous Axe-Fx products. A 200K gate FPGA provides peripheral functionality and system bus management.

The Processing power structure of the FireworX

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. The FireworX will prompt you when no more power is left. The total power allocation between the different algorithms is shown in the “Effects, Tool” page.

The FireworX features:

• -  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 Ring Modulator, Digital Cruncher, Sweeping Filters, Formant Filters, Chaos Noise generation and many more.
• -  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-on- key 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.
