How it all sounds

Track FX cells and the Global FX cell are at the heart of Mixtikl as they determine what FX, if any, are applied to the content in each track, as well as the whole mix (i.e. globally). They also let you access the FX Preset List to select a preset, disable or enable a FX, access the FX Network Editor or clear an FX etc.

Track / Global FX Cell Menu

Select the Global or Track FX Cells in the Mixer Screen (Figure 1).

• When selecting an FX cell with an FX in it, you will see the FX Cell Menu (Figure 2).
• When selecting an empty FX cell you will be presented with the FX Preset list (Figure 3).
• If you touch/hold an FX Cell with an FX in it, then you display the relevent FX unit directly e.g. (Figure 4).
• Note: FX uses up processing cycles more than most things, so use carefully when using the mobile version of Mixtikl. Also, where possible, use a global FX instead of multiple track FX. See also the FAQ.

Edit Network Button

Will display the full Partikl FX Network Editor (Figure 5) for your selected FX (which allows you to chain together FX).

FX Enable / Disable Button

Touch this button to enable or disable the cell FX. When the FX is enabled it shows in the mixer as a icon of the normal colour for that FX. When disabled, the colour is muted (duller).

Edit Unit Button

Select the Edit Unit button (Figure 2) to diplay the FX Unit (Figure 4) that you have already selected, so that you can customise your FX settings.

FX Preset Button

Select the Preset button (Figure 2) to diplay the FX Preset List (Figure 3). There are a wide range of FX Presets that come with Mixtikl, to get you started, but you can also customise and save them.
