LOADING ROUTING CONFIGURATIONS
As was stated in the Overview, the H8000FW houses two separate DSP engines. DSP A is
always running a program and DSP B is always running another program or they "combine their
forces" to run one large program (monolithic mode). When using both processors separately,
the program running on DSP A does not necessarily have anything to do with the program
running on DSP B, and the program running on DSP B does not necessarily have anything to
do with the program running on DSP A! (The display can only show the parameters for one of
them at a time - use the PROCESSOR A/B key to toggle between displays.)
When running "monolithic" programs, DSP B
effectively disappears. The monolithic program uses
the routing configuration for DSP A. When you are
done with the monolithic program and load DSP-
specific program, DSP B’s previous routings will be restored - it will "reappear." You can
identify monolithic programs in the PROGRAM area by a Roman Numeral "II" next to their
name (e.g., DynoMyPiano_Ambience and Piano & Vocal Halls in this screen shot).
While the functioning of DSP A is quite independent of DSP B and vice versa, we can route
signals between them. Each DSP can accept eight input signals and produce eight output
signals. The signal routing between the various ins and outs and the two DSPs is
comprehensive and can be manually configured in just about any way imaginable. However,
for the purposes of this "Instant Gratification" section, we’ll stick to a sample of the routing
configurations that come as presets in the H8000FW. (Besides, you’ll probably use these
preset configurations most of the time because they cover the most obvious and necessary
routing configurations.)
 To learn how to manually configure the routing configuration, see The Comprehensive Input / Output
Scheme on page 49.
To access the preset routing configurations, press
and hold down the PROGRAM key for one second
to enter the Routing Storage area. The LED next
to the
PROGRAM key will begin to blink and the
upper right-hand corner of the display will read "
Routings." Use the UP and DOWN
CURSOR keys to place the cursor over the routing configuration you would like to load and
then press
SELECT. Below, we describe many of the preset routing configurations in English
and complement that description with a block diagram. The routing configuration "name" as
saved in the H8000FW precedes each description.
 To change the "one second hold time," see Miscellaneous Setup Options on page 138.
For a simple Analog in Analog out routing, load “Analog A->B.” The remainder of the
routing configurations will be discussed in the next section.
