Limited WARRANTY: Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards power cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.
INSTAllaTIon The Make Noise FXDf is an electronic signal processor requiring 27mA of +12VDC and 27mA of -12VDC regulated power and a properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It is designed to be used within the euro format modular synthesizer system. Go to http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100t_e.htm for the details of this format.
EXPANSION The OUTputs of the Make Noise FXDf can be normalled to the 6 Channels of the RxMx by using a 10-pin chain connector cable (included with the RxMx) and connected as indicated below.
OVerVie W The FXDf is a 6 Band Fixed Filter bank, offering simultaneous 6db/ Octave and 12db/ Octave inputs. The 6 filter bands are spaced at roughly 11 to 13 semitones, covering a range of around 6 octaves. The FXDf is useful for isolating a particular portion of the spectrum for mixing and analog or digital signal processing such as ring modulation, amplitude modulation, pitch-shifting and reverberation.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 FXDf Panel Controls (Note: All frequency values are approximate) 1. 6db In: Inverting INput for 6db/ Octave filter slope. AC Coupled. Expects 10Vpp Audio signal. 2. 12db In: Non-inverting INput for 12db/ Octave filter slope. AC Coupled. Expects 10Vpp Audio signal. 3. LOW Out: Low Bass Range band output set to 78hz. Output amplitude dependent on source material, typically 5Vpp to 15Vpp. 4. 198hz Out: Bass Range band output.
G ETTInG STaRtED The FXDf is a small utility module, designed with the assumption the user already has some of the modules that will benefit from and/ or support the FXDf. Both inputs on the FXDf are designed to accept typical 10Vpp modular signal levels; however, it could be highly useful to have a VCA, Attenuator, or some other form of Level Control in series with the inputs on the FXDf. Modules such as the Optomix, modDemix or MATHS are handy in providing level control prior to the inputs of the FXDf.
PATCH IDEAS SpectralPlexer -Take all six outputs of the FXDf as source cables for touching the Teleplexer. -Patch the Teleplexer's outputs to three destinations of your choice and send pieces of sound through at will or randomly. If you have a RxMx, consider chaining it to the FXDf and patching the A, B and C outputs to the Aux INputs of the Teleplexer. Switch back and forth between automatic and manual distribution by modulating or not modulating the RxMx, and playing or not playing the source cables.
PATCH IDEAS ( cont’d ) Click and Pop Beat Box patch (requires FXDf normalled to RxMx) -Record Loop into Phonogene. -Patch Phonogene Out to FXDf 12db In. -Set Phonogene Gene Size to NOON, and later adjust to taste. -Patch master clock or division of master clock to Gene Shift. -Set PhonogenH Vari-Speed to taste. -Generate Cycling Function using either MATHS or FUNCTION module. -Set Rise to about 1 o' Clock and Fall to about NOON, and later adjust for variation.
