Adjusting Effects On The Fi With The Parameter And Edit Dials; Flexi Controllers - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

Adjusting Effects on the FI with the PARAMETER and EDIT Dials

Setting the DATA digit on the FI's display to default (5) using the EDIT dial will reproduce the
effects settings exactly as they were saved in the Editor.
The EDIT dial will only adjust the last active effect in the chain.
When OVERDRIVE
turning towards 1 will decrease it.
When EQUALIZER
EDIT dial towards 9 will simultaneously boost the treble and cut the bass in 2dB steps
(leaving the mid controls unchanged); turning towards 1 will simultaneously cut the treble
and boost the bass in 2dB steps. So effectively, turning the EDIT dial to a higher value will
make the sound sharper, whereas turning it to a lower value will dampen the sound.
When CHORUS or DELAY
both the INSTR and VCF blends; turning towards 1 will decrease them.

Flexi Controllers

The four Flexi Controllers constitute what is sometimes referred to as a "modulation matrix"
and provide a way to control almost any slider-based parameter in the Editor in a very
flexible and intuitive way from a choice of control sources.
What does this mean? Well, one example of a control source is an envelope and earlier we
talked about the FI's VCF envelope. If you remember, this controls a fixed destination,
namely cutoff frequency of the filter. Now, using a Flexi Controller, you can take that VCF
envelope and send it to almost any additional destination of your choosing, for example the
pitch of an oscillator, the speed of the LFO, the grade of the distortion, even the decay stage
of the VCF envelope itself!
The power of Flexi Controllers opens up a truly mind-blowing number of possibilities for
creating complex, highly-expressive and unique sounds, limited only by your imagination and
your willingness to experiment. The process of setting up a Flexi Controller assignment is a
10 There are 14 sliders that can't be controlled by Flexis: the 3 ON/OFF sliders in each of the effects,
the INSTR and VCF sliders of the EQ and Overdrive, the TRANSPOSE VOICE2 and VOICE3 sliders
of the Harmonizer section, the VCF TYPE and PITCH FOLLOW sliders of the Filter section, the ENV
MODE slider of the Envelopes Block and the SYNC and KBD PRIORITY sliders of the MIDI Block.
