TC Electronic FireworX
Multi Effect Processor

If you've been searching to find an alternative in effects processing, FireworX is the answer! It represents an all new perspective in signal processing, allowing you to express yourself and take control far beyond the capabilities of your average cookie cutter effects machine.

The FireworX is the most radical sounding Multi-effects Processor you have ever heard and a real challenge to your imagination. Take whatever you need from the broad palette of internal effects, drop it into the forge at the heart of the FireworX, and turn your music into a fireball of sound.

Create Your Own Sound Palette
FireworX features a 8x8 position routing grid. Simply place the algorithms anywhere on the grid and they will be automatically "wired" together. The FireworX uses a dynamic resource allocation system that allows you to monitor how much DSP power you are using. You can keep adding algorithms to the routing grid until you hit the DSP power limit without affecting the FX quality. With an impressive 80 million instruction per second DSP processor and the TC DARC3 -chip, the FireworX delivers the goods!

Make your Effects Come Alive
All this power would not be complete without the ability of your program material to control the effects. To accomplish this TC has designed 2 envelope followers, 2 ADSR generators, 2 LFO's, a Pitch detector and even a Freeform modifier that lets you design your very own waveform. In addition to that, the FireworX has 8 external modifier entries.

Stretch The Effects Boundaries
The FireworX is a very powerful machine, and inside the borders of it's extensive DSP power you can create any imaginable effect. The FireworX' broad palette of effects includes: Expander/Gate, Soft Compressor, Hard Compressor/Limiter, Resonance Filter, Bandpass Filter, Phaser, Resonator, Resochord Filter, Formant Filter, Drive Distortion, Cruncher Distortion, Vocoder, Ring Modulator, Curve Generator Synth., Chaos Generator Synth., Noise Generator Synth., Single Voice Pitch shift, Dual Voice Pitch shift, Classic Chorus, Advanced Chorus, Classic Flanger, Advanced Flanger, Stereo Delay, Dual mono Delay, Dual Three Tap Delay, One Tap Delay, Six Tap Delay, Reverse Delay, Reverb, Advanced Reverb, Simple Tremolo, Advanced Tremolo, Simple Panner, Surround Panner, Stereo Enhancer, 5 band Parametric EQ, 4 band modifiable parametric EQ, Feedback Send, Feedback Return, Insert Send, and Insert Return.

All effects-algorithms are of the best TC quality, and can be assigned in any combination in the Routing grid.
