Fractal FM9 - INTERNAL CONTROLLERS

59
9 MODIFIERS
Modiers are one of the most exciting features on the FM9. They allow sound parameters to be remote controlled or
automated in real time. With modiers, anything goes: an expression pedal might operate a wah or whammy. A step
sequencer or LFO might sweep a lter. A footswitch or MIDI message might adjust effects, volume, and much, much
more. Modiers are easy to use, but have fantastic potential for those who want extreme creativity or control.
CREATING A MODIFIER
The process of creating a modier begins right at the parameter you want to control. Parameters that can be
controlled are marked with a yellow circular symbol (shown below on a knob and a switch). When a modier is
already present, the circle will be solid yellow, like an LED that has been turned ON. You will see the same symbol
whether the target parameter is on a knob page, a text page, or any other type of menu.
The open circle
means you can add a
modier here.
The lled circle
means a modier is
already present.
Here, a switch
instead of a knob
allows a modier.
This parameter
has no option for a
modier.
TO CREATE A MODIFIER...
 Select any parameter that supports a modier.
 Press the ENTER button or press the MODIFIER button (Push-knob C) to show the Modier menu.
 The Modier Source page will appear. Select a SOURCE to control the
parameter. Learn more about Sources on p. 61.
 Press PAGE RIGHT to switch to the Modify page (you must select a source rst!)
 Learn more about Modier parameters on p. 62. If nothing else, check that MIN and MAX
are set to the lowest and highest values you want to hear as the source changes.
 Press EXIT to leave the modier menu. You will notice that the dot is now solid.
 Modiers will animate on-screen knobs, faders switches and graphs.
For text menu parameters, a bar graph shows the value of the source.
 You must STORE the preset to save any modier changes.
 In FM9-Edit, RIGHT-CLICK or Control Click a modiable parameter to show the modier screen.
TO EDIT OR REMOVE A MODIFIER…
 To edit an existing modier, use the same process as creating a modier.
 To remove a modier, change its SOURCE to “NONE”.
