Effect Control in MixEmergency

There are several modes available for controlling Effect parameters in MixEmergency: Internal, Position, Velocity and Bass.

The Internal control mode allows the user to control effect parameters using the parameter control knob.

In this first example we can see that turning the parameter control knob adjusts the colour separation parameter of the RGB effect.

The Position control mode allows the user to control effect parameters using the current play position of the media. The control knob now adjusts the rate at which the effect parameter changes.

In this example we can see how manipulating the media position also adjusts the rotation parameter of the Rotate effect.

The Velocity control mode allows the user to control effect parameters using the current velocity of the media.

This can be controlled using the velocity mapping graph. This graph maps velocity (on the horizontal axis) to the effect parameter (on the vertical axis).

A small green indicator helps to show where the current velocity is mapped.

In this first example we see the velocity when playing double speed, normal speed, stopped, normal speed in reverse, and double speed in reverse.

This very simple graph can become a very powerful tool once you understand the basics, and you will very quickly and easily be able to adjust it to obtain greater control over your effects.

For example, this following graph only applies effect parameter changes when manipulating the media in reverse.

The Bass control mode allows the user to control effect parameters using the bass levels of the audio in the currently playing media. This mode is currently only available when MixEmergency is used as a plug-in.

A graph similar to the velocity mapping graph is used to control this mode. The time since the base level triggered the effect is mapped to the horizontal axis, while the vertical axis remains mapped to the effect parameter.

The following examples use the Bass control mode to control the effect parameter.
