Well met, apprentice! In this guide we shall summon the mighty FX WIZARD!
Art thou ready?
- POWER SOURCE
Plug in a USB-C cable or insert 3x AA batteries. - CONNECTIONS
Connect your chosen signal to AUDIO▼ and your headphones, mixer, or speakers to AUDIO▲. - POWER UP
Flip the POWER switch to the right. - INPUT GAIN
Hold SHIFT and turn the TIME MOD knob to set the INPUT gain.Follow the light indicator – avoid the RED!! Silver labels are active when holding the SHIFT button.
- OUTPUT VOLUME
Hold SHIFT and turn the TIMEknob to adjust the output VOLUME . Can You Hear Me? - MEET THE WIZARD
Press the FX MODE button to switch effects. Explore the effects by turning the White Rabbit knobs. Use the map on the first page. - TIME FOR MAGIC!
Start patching: connect some outputs to inputs. This is what they look like:Most sets of 3 points in a row are connected. Use any of them.
Feel free to experiment – NOTHING CAN BREAK!
Knobs without rabbits control modulation and take effect only when you start patching. - CLOCK SYNC
Use SYNC▼ to synchronise with external clock. The FX Wizard will follow. To be the leader, use the SYNC▲ out. - TEMPO
To set the tempo, hold SHIFT and turn the TEMPO knob.
To tap the tempo, hold SHIFT and press TAP a few times.
If using SYNC▼ in, the TEMPO knob sets the tempo multiplier/divider.
To trully master the ways of FX MAGIC, learn the ways of modulation!
MODULATION MAGIC
Use MOD to adjust the amount of FEEDBACK modulation. The same goes for TIME and LFO.
TIP: Use CV to switch between FX modes!
Press FX MODE and turn AMOUNT to adjust the amount of FX MODE modulation.
FILTER & STEREO
Use FILTER to make your sound:
brighter – HP (highpass) cuts bass,
darker – LP (lowpass) cuts treble.
Use STEREO to make the sound W I D E R!
LFO
LFO generates cycling triangle and pulse waveforms. Adjust the speed with the LFO knob:
to the right for free running,
to the left to sync with the tempo.
