Card and files
FRIZZ keeps what it saves on the SD card, in a folder FRIZZ, as text files. Leave the card in.
| File | Holds | Written |
|---|---|---|
FRIZZ/frizz_scenes.txt |
The 4 FX scenes | When you save, copy or delete a scene |
FRIZZ/frizz_master.txt |
The master compressor and the settings page: the MIDI settings, the LEDs’ brightness, AUX mono, and for AUX and the mic each their input gain, monitoring and effects | 2 s after the last change |
FRIZZ/frizz_scenes.bak, frizz_master.bak |
The versions before | With each write of the file |
FRIZZ/bug-1.txt, bug-2.txt … |
Bug reports | When you ask for one |
Scenes and settings on the card
Section titled “Scenes and settings on the card”The scenes live in FRIZZ/frizz_scenes.txt on the card, one line per effect, keyed by its
name. FRIZZ creates the folder on its first start; after that the card is written only when
you save, copy or delete, never on a recall. Saving takes a moment in which the LEDs may pause. A scene file FRIZZ can’t
read (from another version, or edited into something else) starts it with no scenes but
isn’t lost: the first save moves it to frizz_scenes.bak.
If FRIZZ couldn’t read the card at power-on, every save flashes red until you switch off and on again, so the scenes on the card aren’t replaced by the session’s.
frizz_master.txt holds one setting per line, which can be edited on a computer too:
| Line | Setting | Values |
|---|---|---|
midi_channel |
The global MIDI channel | 1-16, 0 every channel |
midi_block_trs |
Effect channels over TRS | 1 on, 0 off |
midi_transport |
MIDI transport following | 1 on, 0 off |
clock_factor |
Clock factor | 100 as sent, 200 double, 50 half |
clock_source |
Clock source | 0 Auto, 1 TRS, 2 USB, 3 internal |
midi_out |
MIDI out | 0 off, 1 TRS, 2 TRS and USB |
midi_feedback |
MIDI feedback | 1 on, 0 off |
led_brightness |
LED brightness | 25-100 |
mono |
Mono input | 1 mono, 0 stereo |
gain_aux, gain_mic |
Each source’s input gain (VOLUME knob) | 0-100 |
aux_dry, mic_dry |
Each source’s effects (Input: AUX or the mic) | 0 through them, 1 past them |
aux_live, mic_live |
Each source’s monitoring | 1 on, 0 off |
compressor2 |
The master compressor’s knobs |
A line FRIZZ doesn’t know is skipped, and a setting left out keeps its default.
Taking the card out
Section titled “Taking the card out”Take the card out or swap it only while the CHOMPI is off: a card pulled while FRIZZ runs
isn’t looked after. To get files on or off it (scenes, bug reports), use the multi-firmware
launcher’s USB storage mode instead of taking it out. On a card
with several firmwares, FRIZZ keeps its FRIZZ folder apart from the others’ files.
Files from an older FRIZZ
Section titled “Files from an older FRIZZ”FRIZZ reads the scene and settings files of earlier versions and carries their values over to where the knobs and keys are now; the changelog says what changed with each version.
