FXAlg #998: FXMod Diagnostic
FXMod source-metering utility algorithm
Allocation Units: 1
The FXMod diagnostic algorithm is used to obtain a metered display of FXMod sources. This algorithm allows you
to view the current levels of any data sliders, MIDI controls, switches, or internally generated VAST LFOs, ASRs,
FUNs, etc. which are available as modulation sources. This algorithm has no effect on any signal being routed
through it.
Up to eight modulation sources may be monitored simultaneously. Meters #1 through #4 can monitor bipolar
sources, meaning sources which can have both positive and negative values. The range of the bipolar meters is -1
to +1. Four monopolar meters #5 through #8 provide better resolution, but the range is limited to 0 though +1. Use
the monopolar meters for sources which you do not expect to go negative.
Eight parameters are provided to connect modulation sources to the meters. The parameter values are fixed at
ÒNoDpthÓ and have no function except to connect sources to meters. To use the algorithm, save a Multieffect and
Studio containing the algorithm, then go to one of the FXMod pages of your Program or Setup (with the Studio
selected). Select the FX bus which contains the Multieffect using the FXMod Diagnostic algorithm, and choose one
of the meter parameters (Bipole N or Monopole N). You will not be able to modify the Adjust or Depth fields, but
you can select any source you want. Finally press the Edit button to re-enter the Studio and Multieffect editor where
you can view the meters on parameter page 2.

Bipole n Use the Bipole parameters to attach bipolar modulation sources (can go positive or
negative) to the bipolar meters. The parameters are not adjustable.
Monopole n Use the Monopole parameters to attach monopolar modulation sources (can go positive
only) to the monopolar meters. The parameters are not adjustable.
