Wrap Up
So, there you have it. The procedure we followed in this Quickstart section is more or less
the procedure you will follow whenever you use the H8000FW. First, you will determine an
appropriate routing configuration for the task at hand and either load it from the Routing
area or make it from scratch (you’ll learn how in the Operation guide). Then, you’ll load
appropriate programs into DSP A and DSP B being mindful of the "I/O Identifiers" and
their bearing on the routing configuration or you’ll load a monolithic program. This may be
an over-simplification! You may very well select appropriate programs for the task at hand and then
determine an appropriate routing configuration for those programs!
Once the routing configuration is
set and the programs are loaded, you’ll probably "tweak" the parameters on those programs
to fit the situation. When you’re done using a program, you'll probably save your "tweak"
for future use.
Doing this much will give you an appreciation of the horsepower under the hood of the
H8000FW. But only doing this much won’t give you an appreciation of the amazing versatility
of the H8000FW. In addition to simply loading routing configurations, you can manually
configure things any way you like.
 See The Comprehensive Input / Output Scheme on page 49.
In addition to altering levels at the inputs, you can alter and monitor levels at any point in the
signal path.
 See 4Controlling Levels on page 72.
Programs and routing configurations can be saved to and loaded from removable Memory
Cards, as well as internal memory.
 See 4Memory Cards on page 47.
In addition to using system bypass, DSP A and DSP B can be muted or bypassed
independently of each other.
See 4Bypassing and Muting on page 90.
In addition to loading programs from the front panel, programs can be loaded remotely
via MIDI program change messages or external "triggers."
 See Loading a Program Remotely on page 123.
The digital inputs and outputs have comprehensive sample rate and word length
parameters to complement any digital installation.
 See Digital Setup on page 78.
Any parameter anywhere in the H8000FW can be "remote controlled" via MIDI or the
rear panel foot pedal jacks 1 and 2.
 See Setting Up the External Controllers on page 92, External Modulation and Trigger Menu Pages on page
96, and Remote Controlling Parameters
on page 111.
Existing programs can be altered or entirely new programs can be created in the Patch
Editor.
 See the separate Programmer’s Manual.
