358 SIGNAL FLOW
Signal flow
Recording
During recording the record signal is routed through the ASIO buffer (ASIO only) and then
recorded on the hard drive. Recording in Samplitude is designed in such a manner that it is
actually not a real-time process. The input buffers coming from the card are collected in the
buffer and passed on to the file system as larger blocks to be saved on the hard disk.
Latencies are therefore not important and the procedure is particularly safe.
Playback
During playback all files are read from the hard drive; they pass through the track speed
buffer and finally the effect sections. This not only ensures the allocation of effects, but also
setting of the volume and panorama as well as assignment busses and outputs. The
signals are processed in packages at the size of the VIP buffer and are finally reproduced
by the sound card via the ASIO buffer (ASIO only).
Signal flow with monitoring
For all other models it can be said that three signal flows occur simultaneously. Playback of
the recorded tracks according to fig. 1, recording of tracks to be recorded according to fig.
2, and monitoring of the signals of the input as described in the following. Samplitude is
designed to behave like the sync head of an analog tape machine. The re-alignments of the
individual signal flows are automatically balanced. During playback the signal is moved
forward by the latency of the effects and the buffer, so that it is in sync with the input
signals and no after-run can develop in relation to the recording and monitoring signals.
