Pressing the ACTIONS button will open the ACTIONS page where you can define controls that act on the PERFORMANCE, NODE SETS, and individual NODES.
The NODES will be listed alphabetically, which means for the GEN1->EFX1 NODE SET, the EFX1 NODE is listed first. From here, you can add MIDI, GATE, or keyboard events to control the NODES.
When you press the ADD MIDI soft key a window will pop up where you use the ENCODER knob to select a MIDI NOTE by number or press a key on a MIDI controller or sequencer and STRUCTURE will MIDI Learn the note. The MIDI NOTE ON triggers the action.
Press the ADD GATE soft key to choose one of the three front panel GATE INPUTS by pressing them, sending a pulse to the 1/8″ input jack (like a CV Learn), or using the ENCODER knob to change GATE.
The ADD KB soft key allows you to use a USB-compliant keyboard or numeric keypad to use letters and numbers to trigger ACTIONS.
In general, you can define actions to Next, Previous, Random, and Last file that the NODES nodes use. Other NODES, like EFX1 have additional controls for ‘Bypass Toggle’ and ‘Clear Buffer’, among others. Refer to the NODE Dictionary for more information on modifiable parameters on each NODE type.
After the NODE section(s) there are STRUCTURE oriented actions. As of fw4.2 the following actions are available :
LFO :
Reset LFO 1-8 : re-trigger LFOs (from MOD VIEWER)
MOTION :
Invert Motion X : inverts recorded JOYSTICK X values
Invert Motion Y : inverts recorded JOYSTICK Y values
Swap Motion X<- ->Y : swaps recorded JOYSTICK X and Y values
Reverse Motion X : reorders recorded JOYSTICK X values from last to first
Reverse Motion Y : reorders recorded JOYSTICK Y values from last to first
Pause Motion XY : pauses the playback of JOYSTICK X and Y values
Restart Motion From 0 : re-triggers recorded JOYSTICK X and Y values from beginning
Start Motion From Last : unpauses the playback of JOYSTICK X and Y values
Stop Motion : stops playback of recorded JOYSTICK X and Y values
NODE SET :
Next NODE SET : load the next NODE SET in list
Previous NODE SET : load the previous NODE SET in list
Random NODE SET : load a randomly chosen NODE SET from the list of NODE SETs
Random All NODES : random the shaders used in the current NODE SET
Random NODE 1 : load a random shader for NODE 1
Random NODE 2 : load a random shader for NODE 2
Random NODE 3 : load a random shader for NODE 3
Random NODE 4 : load a random shader for NODE 4
Load Cues : action to load any NODEs that have a cue’d shader file. (user request)
Swap Effect Shaders : swap shaders used for EFX1 and EFX2 with each other
PERF :
Reset Time : resets the system time to 0.0
Reset MIDI CC/Note : acts as a ‘MIDI flush’ in case of stuck notes
Bank 1 : set PRESET Bank 1 as active bank
Bank 2 : set PRESET Bank 2 as active bank
Bank 3 : set PRESET Bank 3 as active bank
Bank 4 : set PRESET Bank 4 as active bank
Prev Bank : set previous PRESET Bank as active (Prev from BANK 1 sets BANK 4 as active)
Next Bank : set next PRESET Bank as active (Next from BANK 4 sets BANK 1 as active)
Load PRESET 1-16 : loads preset 1 from current BANK
Prev PRESET : load previous PRESET (Prev from PRESET 1 sets PRESET 16 as active)
Next PRESET : load next PRESET (Next from PRESET 16 sets PRESET 1 as active)
If you press the soft key for the PAGE (denoted by the gray arrow) (next to the REMOVE soft key) you will see the PERFORM soft key. Pressing this soft key will trigger the highlighted action. Press the PAGE (gray arrow) soft key to return to the previous page. In the image below, pressing the PERFORM soft key will initiate the action ‘Reset Time’
Reading the screen capture above, if you wanted to load the PRESET stored at location 2-3 (BANK 2, PRESET 3), you would send MIDI NOTE C3 then MIDI NOTE D4
