Product features, specifications, system requirements and availability are subject to change without notice. [. . . ] Instead of a depth control, this effect has an "FX Key" control, which allows you to transpose the sequence to a different musical key from its normal key of "E. " Changing the key value transposes the arpeggio sequence in semi-tone steps numbered 0 to 99. Simply change the key value up or down to transpose the sequence to match your song. For example, the normal key value for a sequence in the key of "E" is usually 24; to transpose three semitones up to "G, change the value from 24 to 27. The arpeggiator will also react to incoming MIDI note values, which will transpose the key of the sequence in real time. This effect from Roger Linn Design's AdrenaLinn was used on John Mayer's 2003 hit "Bigger Than My Body" and you can hear that very sequence and drumbeat in our preset 85-JMAYER. To sound just like the recording, play an E suspended chord at the start of bar 1 and an E major at the start of bar 2. To start, don't try to play rhythmically; best results are obtained either by holding sustained chords or arpeggiating the individual notes of chords in time to the rhythm. MIDI Velocity to Filter In this effect, incoming MIDI note velocity data is used to modulate the frequency of a bandpass filter. For example, if you record a MIDI track into a sequencer by simply pressing a keyboard key over and over at different velocity values, then play that MIDI track back to the Black Box while you play guitar, the filter frequency will change proportionally to the note velocities you played. This allows you to create your own custom filter sequences. If you don't find a filter sequence that you like among the 20 in Black Box, take the opportunity to create your own custom sequences!MIDI Note to Filter In this effect, incoming MIDI note numbers are used to modulate the frequency of a bandpass filter. For example, if you record a MIDI piano track in your sequencer and play that track in to the Black Box as you play guitar, the filter frequency will roughly track the frequency of the notes played by the sequencer. If you don't find a filter sequence that you like among the 20 in Black Box, take the opportunity to create your own custom sequences, MIDI Modulation to Filter In this effect, a bandpass filter is used with incoming MIDI controller values modulating the filter frequency. The filter will respond to controller numbers 1 (mod wheel), 11, 16, 70 and 74. For example, you could use a MIDI keyboard's mod wheel as a wah wheel. MIDI Velocity to Flanger In this effect, a flanger is used with incoming MIDI velocity modulating the flanger frequency. For example, if you record a MIDI track into a sequencer by simply pressing a keyboard key over and over at different velocity values, then play that MIDI track back to the Black Box while you play guitar, the flanger tone will change proportionally to those velocity values. MIDI Note to Flanger In this effect, a flanger is used with incoming MIDI note values modulating the flanger frequency. For example, if you record a MIDI piano track into a sequencer and play that track into the Black Box as you play guitar, the flanger frequency will exactly match the frequency of the notes played by the sequencer. If you don't find an arpeggio sequence that you like among the 20 in Black Box, this gives you the opportunity to create your own custom sequence. MIDI Modulation to Flanger In this effect, a flanger is used with incoming MIDI controller values modulating the flanger delay. The flanger will respond to controller numbers 1 (mod wheel), 11, 16, 70 and 74.

User Guide 19 English Editing the Delay and Reverb The Black Box has a dedicated delay effect with a special advantage--it can automatically sync its delays to the drumbeat or incoming MIDI clock. [. . . ] Any messages received while Black Box is still saving the presets will be ignored. After the external device sends this message, it should either wait a full second or wait until a "Save Complete" (ID 17) is returned before sending any further messages.

In this case, the range is 0-114 consisting of 100 fixed arbitrary speeds from 0 to 99 followed by 15 tempo-synced speeds 100-114 (8M, 4M, 2M, 1M, 1Mt, 2n, 2t, 4n, 4t, 8n, 8t, 16n, 16t, 32n, 32t). 6 FX Depth or FX Key This parameter is either FX DEPTH, FX KEY or unused, depending on which effect is selected: 1) FX Key is active if ARSQ1-20 or MNT2FL is the selected effect.
