5、资料库 The FM-8VB at a glance The FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 3 of 41 I. The FM-8VB at a glance The FM-8VB card is a 32 engines FX card. This card is seen by the system as an 8 INPUTS and 8 OUTPUTS card. 4 FX engines are available between each input an

6、d output of the card. Depending of your needs the I/O, by pair, can be declared as a Stereo FX bay or 2 mono FX bays. Although 32 engines are available, the global resources of these engines can be strongly reduced if you use a lot of “greedy” effects, ie: 4 JustVerb (VB Audio Reverb) uses between 8

7、0 and 90 % of the complete resources of one card. In opposite, up to 32 Limitor or De-esser treatments can be assigned without using the complete resources of the DSP. In order to maximum simplify its use, we have imagined the utilization of the FX like you would do with your external bay. The FM-8V

8、B provides you 8 Mono or 4 Stereo bays that you can use as standard FX (fed by an Aux and returning to some inputs channels of the desk) and/or inserted treatments. All the I/O configuration is managed thru the standard patch grids provided by Sensoft 12. A TAP-TEMPO jack input is available front of

9、 the FM-8V card. This future option will allow to determine a global tempo thru a standard Tap Pedal. This global Tempo can be selected to automatically determine the Reverbs Pre-delay, the MultiTap Delay intervals, the Modulator frequency, etc II. Installing of the FM-8VB card The FM-8VB effect car

10、d can be installed in the Mix-Box of your system (Local rack of the Sy80, Back of the Sy48). It is planned that this module, in a close future, will work in a DioCore. As the module is detected by the system as an INPUT and an OUTPUT card you have to take care, when used with a Muxipaire Stage-Box,

11、that no card is installed on the same slot (identified by its geographic letter) of the Stage-Box, ie: if a FM-8VB card is installed on the G slot of the Local Rack, no card can be installed on the slot G of the Stage- Box. Obviously, this restriction does not concern the DioCore where, in this exam

12、ple, any I/O module could be installed on the slot G. RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 Installing of the FM-8VB card The FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 4 of 41 Please to install your FM-8VB card, just follow the following steps : 1 Remove the blank panel on the

13、 slot where you want to install your FM-8VB. Just make a quarter tour on the 4 screws. 2 Slowly pull the panel and keep it fore an eventual future use. 3 Insert the FM-8 card. The PCB must be carefully inserter in the 2 plastic guides. 4 Strongly push the card to ensure a good and secured connection

14、. 5 Switch on the rack, the 4 Blue LEDs indicate that the card is correctly installed and powered. Do the same operations to install a FM-8VB card in a Sy48 local rack.
