Manual for Hex Composer v0.19.0. This is an archived snapshot. Corrections can be suggested on the current version of this page.

How the app’s model works. Each page stands on its own; there’s no reading order.

AUX Sends and Buses: the inline per-module Send feature, and how INSERT or FEEDBACK reads a bus back.
Chain Groups: naming, color-tagging, collapsing, and multi-selecting a run of modules in Chain.
Docking and Layout: the dockable window system and its named layout presets.
Insert FX Chains: the per-module effect chain every module carries.
MIDI and OpenSoundControl Learn: the Learn-mode workflow shared by both input protocols.
Mixer Mode: the two-deck live-performance mode.
Modulation Matrix: assigning any modulation source to any parameter.
Output and Recording: what leaves the app, and by which route.
Patches, Slots, and Banks: the .hxc file format and how slots and banks organize it.
Reading the Panel: the app’s own control vocabulary (Knob, Trough, Wheel, and the rest), and what its colors mean.
Signal Chain: how modules combine into what Output shows.
