SoundGrid Server (SGS)
The SoundGrid Server is the “number cruncher” which performs the audio
processing.
Audio is streamed from the card to the server, gets processed at low latency, and
is streamed back to the card, according to the audio connections established
using the MultiRack SoundGrid host application.
