MADRIX v2500

  • Comments Regarding the Freeze Button:
    • If the freeze button is pressed, the output will freeze.
    • After releasing the button the output continues.
    • Double clicking the freeze button freezes the output permanently.
  • Comments Regarding the Speedmaster:
    • The speedmaster works with actual bpm values individually for each layer of the current storage place.
    • Here is an example:
    • - Storage place A1 includes 2 layers
    • - Layer one uses the color scroll effect with a left direction and a bpm value of 600
    • - Layer two also uses a color scroll, with a top direction, and a bpm value of 120
    • - The speedmaster is set to a value of 2.0. This means the first layer runs at 1200 bpm and layer two runs at 240 bpm.
    • It is possible to set up the speedmaster to a value ranging from -10.0 to +10.0:
    • A value of 0.0 means that all the effects are stopped.
    • A value of 1.0 means that effects run at the bpm speed selected in the effect dialog.
    • Values higher than 1.0 accelerate the speed of effects.
    • Values lower than 1.0 but higher than 0.0 slow down effects.
    • Negative values will reverse the direction of effects.
    • But please remember that not every effect (in particular S2L and M2L effects, which process live audio signals) can run in reverse mode!
  • Comments Regarding Pause:
    • If the pause button located below the speedmaster fader is pressed (and held), the effects stops immediately.
    • Effects continue when the button is released.
    • A doubleclick on the pause button stops the effects permanently.
    • But please do not mistake this function for the freeze button of the main out. While pressing the freeze button, effects are still running; only the output is frozen.
  • Comments Regarding Frames - frameid:
    • Some effects, like SCE Color Scroll, have a fixed number of frames depending on the settings of the effect.
    • Because of this, a fixed number of frames of this effects can be looped and consequently it is possible to play them reverse.
    • Besides, there is the possibility to assign a particular frame number (frameid) of the effect to be shown.
    • With the new MADRIX V2.5 and several MIDI hardware controllers it is possible to manipulate the frameid of effects,
    • independent from the effect being stopped, paused, or still running.
    • With the Behringer BCD2000/BCD3000 or Numark NuVJ/TotalControl it is possible to manipulate the frameid with the jogwheel.
