FX Lord's main GUI consists of 19 modules each with their own individual functionality. These modules can be enabled on/off to suit user taste/need/CPU restraint. Some modules also have wet/dry sliders to adjust their sound affection versus original sound in.
Many modules contain functions which can affect either the left or right stereo channel individually, through left and right sliders. These sliders can be linked by using the center toggle between the two. When toggled this causes the right slider's control output to match that of the left slider as well, internally though not visually.
FX Lord modules and their functionality (from left to right / top to bottom):

RATE - The cycle speed of the phaser offset.
STEREO PHASE DIFFERENCE (center vertical slider) - Manual offsetting of the phase alignment root.
STAGES - Sets the amount of breakpoints in the phaser volume envelope (less stages = harsher/stronger phase effect, more stages = smoother/subtler phase effect).
==========
SATURATER:
==========
-----------
Description
-----------
Causes audio distortion by overlapping incoming audio with corrupted clone of itself.
--------
Controls
--------
SATURATION - The amount of overlapping present.

===========
WAVESHAPER:
===========
-----------
Description
-----------
Audio distortion via waveform manipulation.
--------
Controls

Simply drag and drop breakpoints present in waveform representation. Higher vector offsetting = high pass distortion, lower vector offsetting = low pass distortion.
=======
BYPASS:
=======
-----------
Description

Description
-----------
Controls global attenuation / hard limiting of FX Lord's audio throughput.
=======
Modtrix
=======
Modtrix is an abbreviation for "Modulation Matrix".
The modulation matrix allows modulations of chosen parameters for FX modules. Each individual module is affected differently per predefined control routing via modulation input. User defines modulation type, settings, and allowance.
To use the Modtrix it must first be turned ON, and then switched to. These controls are located at the upper right hand corner of FX Lord's main GUI.
-----------------
Modtrix Controls:
-----------------
---------
LFO 1 & 2
---------
"Low Frequency Oscillators."
CYCLE - Rate of oscillation.
SMOOTHING - Volume envelope attenuation.
WAVEFORM - Waveform type of oscillator.
-----------
CLOCK 1 & 2
-----------
"Signal change via timed intervals, outputs control voltage internally to predefined parameters using user defined offsets."
FRQ - Frequency of control voltage output.
CYC - Timing of control voltage output.
RES - Probablity of control voltage reset (back to 0).
IMP - Amount of pure timed impulse allowance (full 10 periodically).
RND - Mix signals between clock output and random control voltage output.
------------------------
Modtrix Matrix Controls:
------------------------
Each potentially affectable FX module is represented on the matrix along the X plane, see labels as such. LEDs above FX module labels light up if their respective FX module is turned on.
Each modulation output is labeled along the Y axis. Parameters are allowable from 000-100 per FX module versus modulation type. The more a parameter is allowed the more modulation of the type chosen is introduced to the aligned parameter of the respective FX module per column.
