Input Levels, Wet/Dry Ratios, and Output Levels for Each DSP

You can control the input level for each input of each DSP, the wet to dry ratio of each

"channel" of each DSP, and the output level for each output of each DSP. All of these

settings are saved and loaded with a routing configuration in the Routing Storage area.

 See Signal Flow Example on page 64.

The input level for each input of DSP A is

controlled on one of the many "stacked" dsp A

menu pages in the LEVELS area. You can cut the

input signal from 0 to -100 dB. By pressing the

DOWN CURSOR key to "un-gang" the parameters, cuts can be made on single inputs

independently of the others.

The input level for each input of DSP B is

controlled on the dsp B menu page located

"below" the dsp A menu page in the LEVELS

area. Again, you can cut the input signal from 0

to -100 dB. By pressing the DOWN CURSOR key to "un-gang" the parameters, cuts can

be made on single inputs independently of the others.

To change the wet to dry ratio for each

"channel" of DSP A, find the appropriate menu

page in the dsp A menu page "stack" in the

LEVELS area. At 100%, the signal coming out

of an output is completely processed. At 0%, the signal coming out of an output is

identical to the signal applied to the corresponding input. For example, if you set

A OUT2

Wet/Dry

to 0%, the signal at DSP A output 2 will be the same as the signal at DSP A

input 2. A setting between 0% and 100% mixes the processed and input signals as you

would expect. Pressing the DOWN CURSOR key "un-gang" the parameters and allows you

to control the Wet/Dry ratio of any "channel" independently of the others.

Use of the word "dry" may cause some confusion. Normally, if you set an effects box

"dry," the output of the box

is the same as its input. However, the "Wet/Dry" control on

the H8000FW is not at the box level, it’s at the DSP level. To understand the

ramifications of this, pretend we’re sending a signal from the "inputs block" to DSP B.

The program loaded on DSP B is a dense reverb and the OUTx Wet/Dry parameters for

all eight outputs of DSP B are set to

100% (the output is totally processed). Now, let’s

say you connect all eight outputs of DSP B to the inputs of DSP A. That would mean

that the signals at the inputs to DSP A are reverberant. Now, let’s say you set the

OUTx

Wet/Dry

parameters for all eight outputs of DSP A to 0% (not processed at all). DSP
