Overview

Fxbox provides 16 performance effects with XY control and a built in step sequencer. Fxbox is available as a dedicated module. Also, you can reprogram your bitbox to become an fxbox.

The diagram below identifies the various components of the fxbox module.

1010music FXBox - Overview - 1

Fxbox is equipped with a touchscreen. You can touch cells in the grid on the screen to select them, and touch on-screen buttons to take an action. You can also drag your finger across the screen to use XY positioning to control effects.

The INFO and HOME buttons at the top of the front panel of fxbox are used to navigate the screens. Press INFO to view the information screen for the current selection. In some cases, you can press INFO more than once to get to deeper information. The HOME button generally takes you back a screen. If you get lost, you can press HOME until you get back to the Main screen.

The Control Knobs are used to cycle through options on the screen. When there are several parameters on the screen, use the Control Knob closest to a parameter to set its value.

The MicroSD Card

Fbox uses a microSD card to store settings. A microSD card must be inserted into the MICROSD slot on the front panel of the fxbox during operation of the module. A microSD card loaded with 50 presets is included with fxbox. Insert the microSD card with the notched edge down.

Working with Effects

Fxbox takes audio input from IN1 and IN2, processes the configured effects, and sends the result to OUT1 and OUT2.

When fxbox starts up, the Touch Screen displays the Main screen with the grid of 16 effects. The available effects are listed in the table below:

1010music FXBox - Working with Effects - 1

LOOPAutomated looping, with quantized start and length
RVRSReverse
VNYLTurntable and similar effects including scratching, tape stop, and backspin
GATEClock based gating
PANAutomated panning
DLYDelay
RVBReverb

The effects are applied by the signal processing chain in the order listed in the table above, from top to bottom.

Effects can be momentarily enabled using the touch screen, triggered via control voltage (CV) inputs or set always on by configuring the parameters for the effect.

Momentarily Apply an Effect

If you want to apply an effect manually, you can do so by touching and holding the cell for that effect on the Touch Screen. The effect is applied while you are touching the cell, and stops when you remove your finger.

Trigger an Effect via Control Voltage Signal

You can use an external signal to control when an effect is applied using independent signals for each effect. To do this, plug a control voltage gate signal into the CV Trigger jack that maps to the effect in the grid. The effect will be applied when the CV signal goes high, and be turned off when the CV signal goes low.

Trigger an Effect via MIDI Input

You can trigger an effect by plugging a MIDI controller source into the MIDI input jack. The MIDI input uses a TRS connection compatible with the Arturia BeatStep Pro. Be sure to use a TRS cable. Fxbox

  3. Touch the grid boxes on the Touch Screen to enable and disable the gate for the effect on each step. The effect is enabled for the step when the grid box is highlighted blue.

1010music FXBox - Sequence an Effect - 1

  1. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for other effects as desired.

On the Main screen, you can see the Step Sequencer in action by watching the blue bars that appear below the effects grid cells when the sequencer enables the effect. You can have a different step sequence for each preset.

Synchronizing Effects with External Signals

The effects generated by fxbox can be controlled by external signals to align the effects with other modules. Clock signals and MIDI signals can be used to synchronize the timing of the effects. CV Signals can be used to trigger effects or to modulate effect parameters.

Synchronize the Effects to an External Timing Input

Fxbox allows you to synchronize effects to an external clock. For example, any effect with the Trigger parameter set to Gate can be triggered by a clock input. Connect one of the following timing signals to fxbox to synchronize to that source:

  • Connect an external clock to the Clock input jack. Fxbox works from a 4 PPQ signal.
  • OR - Connect a TRS MIDI cable to the MIDI input jack.

To restart the clock, stop the external clock source for at least 2 seconds, and then restart the external clock source. Fxbox will interpret this break in the clock as the start of a new sequence. The clock timing is shown in the upper left of the Touch Screen as Bars:Beats.

Modulate Effect Parameters

External signals may also be used to modulate effects. There are three CV Modulator jacks that can be used for this.

  1. Plug an external CV signal into one of the three CV Modulator jacks (the top three jacks in the right column of the array). A bar graph appears along the bottom of the MOD grid cell that represents the value of the corresponding CV input.
  2. To control the modulation parameters for a CV input, touch the MOD button on screen that corresponds to the CV Input jack, and then push the INFO button to display the MOD Parameters screen.
  3. Use the Control Knobs to adjust the following parameters:
MOD DestThe destination effect you want the CV input to control. The highlight on the mini grid next to the knob shows the effect being controlled. You can choose any effect in the grid.
Dest ParamThe parameter of the destination effect to control with the CV Voltage. For example, choose the FILT effect for the MOD Dest parameter and choose Cutoff for the Dest Parameter to use the CV voltage to adjust the cutoff value of the FILT effect.
AmountAdjusts how much impact the CV signal will have on the effect.

Updating and Swapping Firmware, Audio Files and Presets

Bitbox and fxbox owners can update the module's firmware to get the latest features and other updates. This process can also be used to run bitbox firmware on fxbox hardware and vice versa. The firmware can be updated with the factory image, which includes the original presets, or just the firmware itself. You can also choose individual presets to copy over to your microSD Card.

Install New Firmware

Here are the steps required:

  1. Download the desired firmware onto your computer. You can choose to download either fxbox or bitbox firmware, but only one set of firmware can run at a time. You can find the latest firmware images on 1010music.com under Support.
  2. Unpack the zip file. Some browsers do this automatically for you.
  3. If you want to replace the Presets with the factory image, copy the full contents of the zip file onto a microSD card. If you do not want to overwrite your presets, copy only the MATRIX.BIN file to the microSD card.
  4. Place the microSD card in your bitbox or fxbox
  5. While powering up the unit, hold the Home and Info buttons. When you see the message about upgrading the firmware, you can let go.
  6. When the upgrade finishes in about 15 seconds, the unit will restart with the new software.

Reset fxbox Presets to Factory Settings

If you want to reset one or more of the fxbox Presets to the original factory settings, you can copy individual preset files onto your microSD card.

  1. Download the fxbox firmware onto your computer. You can find the latest firmware images on 1010music.com under Support.
  2. Unpack the zip file. Some browsers do this automatically for you.
  3. Find the .fxb file in the unpacked folder that has the same name as the preset you want to restore, for example 02BadTapeEcho.fxb. Copy the .fxb file onto the microSD card to replace the file on the card.
  4. Insert the microSD card into the fxbox.
  5. Push the HOME button to return to the Main screen if needed.
