Note:
You must first make a note of any adjustments made using the PARAMETER
and EDIT dials as these are not stored as part of the program data.
Connect your FI to your computer using a compatible MIDI interface from the
using the instructions shown in the
Connecting to the Future Impact
section of this manual. Then look at the instructions in the

to use it fully.

How do I listen to and add new sounds to my pedal?
By far the easiest way to browse, audition and add sounds to your pedal is to use the
new Manager feature of the
. There you can browse sounds from our
Online Program Database directly within the Editor Suite, download any you like and
write them to the pedal and/or save them to your computer.

(If you don’t have your pedal or the Editor Suite to hand then you can listen to sound
clips of programs on the website of the
and download the
individual files of any programs you like.)
●
Does the FI respond to MIDI clock?
Yes! New to v3.5 is the ability to synchronize either the Delay effect or the VCO4
LFOs to incoming MIDI clock signals. (Other LFOs are not able to be synchronized.)
●
Can I use an expression pedal to sweep the filter?
Yes, you can! The filter cutoff in the FI is controlled by MIDI CC 11 and CC74. The
pedal sweeps either 1, 2 or 4 octaves either side of the program’s preset cutoff value
(the value set by the
VCF FRQ
slider in the Editor). The sweep range is set by
VCF
CONTROL RANGE
in the
.
You will need a third-party piece of equipment to connect the expression pedal to the
FI’s MIDI In port.
●
How do I use an expression pedal to control the LFO depth?
LFO modulation depth to the filter cutoff and the oscillators’ pitch is controlled by
MIDI CC1. You can again use a third-party product to attach an expression pedal and
send the relevant CC messages to the FI
You can also plug in a MIDI keyboard to the FI’s MIDI IN port and use the keyboard’s
mod wheel.
