5、资料库 The FM-8VB at a glance The FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 3 of 41 I. The FM-8VB at a glance The FM-8VB card is a 32 engines FX card. This card is seen by the system as an 8 INPUTS and 8 OUTPUTS card. 4 FX engines are available between each input an
6、d output of the card. Depending of your needs the I/O, by pair, can be declared as a Stereo FX bay or 2 mono FX bays. Although 32 engines are available, the global resources of these engines can be strongly reduced if you use a lot of “greedy” effects, ie: 4 JustVerb (VB Audio Reverb) uses between 8
7、0 and 90 % of the complete resources of one card. In opposite, up to 32 Limitor or De-esser treatments can be assigned without using the complete resources of the DSP. In order to maximum simplify its use, we have imagined the utilization of the FX like you would do with your external bay. The FM-8V
8、B provides you 8 Mono or 4 Stereo bays that you can use as standard FX (fed by an Aux and returning to some inputs channels of the desk) and/or inserted treatments. All the I/O configuration is managed thru the standard patch grids provided by Sensoft 12. A TAP-TEMPO jack input is available front of
9、 the FM-8V card. This future option will allow to determine a global tempo thru a standard Tap Pedal. This global Tempo can be selected to automatically determine the Reverbs Pre-delay, the MultiTap Delay intervals, the Modulator frequency, etc II. Installing of the FM-8VB card The FM-8VB effect car
10、d can be installed in the Mix-Box of your system (Local rack of the Sy80, Back of the Sy48). It is planned that this module, in a close future, will work in a DioCore. As the module is detected by the system as an INPUT and an OUTPUT card you have to take care, when used with a Muxipaire Stage-Box,
11、that no card is installed on the same slot (identified by its geographic letter) of the Stage-Box, ie: if a FM-8VB card is installed on the G slot of the Local Rack, no card can be installed on the slot G of the Stage- Box. Obviously, this restriction does not concern the DioCore where, in this exam
12、ple, any I/O module could be installed on the slot G. RadioFans.CN 收音机爱 好者资料库 Installing of the FM-8VB card The FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 4 of 41 Please to install your FM-8VB card, just follow the following steps : 1 Remove the blank panel on the
13、 slot where you want to install your FM-8VB. Just make a quarter tour on the 4 screws. 2 Slowly pull the panel and keep it fore an eventual future use. 3 Insert the FM-8 card. The PCB must be carefully inserter in the 2 plastic guides. 4 Strongly push the card to ensure a good and secured connection
14、. 5 Switch on the rack, the 4 Blue LEDs indicate that the card is correctly installed and powered. Do the same operations to install a FM-8VB card in a Sy48 local rack.

Installing of Sensoft 12 The FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 6 of 41 Your Key is now ready to install Sensoft 12.0 on your console. III.2 Installation A fresh installation is necessary when the Sensoft versions fir
21、st digit changes, for example, when changing from version 11 to version 12. It is also necessary if you reinstall your Windows XPE operating system. The previous version will be permanently replaced and the files/pages created with that version will be erased. Generally, a new version can re-interpr
22、et the pages of the previous version (wholly or partially: new functions = new parameters). For example Sensoft 12 re- interprets the pages created with Sensoft 11. First, using the “Export” function in the FILE menu, save all you previously created files on a USB mass storage device. Switch your co
23、nsole off and follow the step by step procedure below to install Sensoft: 1- Insert your USB key in one of the consoles available ports.

41、FM-8VB effect module and Sensoft 12.0 Quick guide INNOVASON February 2008 Page 11 of 41 IV. Update the DSP module to version 4.0.34 The firmware 4.0.34 has the big advantage to correct some recently discovered bugs on the DSP board. One of this concerns the Line I/O available on the SubD connectors
42、of the DSP card. In some rare case, the device in charge of these I/O was not correctly initialised, the result is no sound on these I/O. 1- From the configuration screen (see section III.4), select the “Firmware Update” line and press the right arrows () to launch the firmware updater. 2 A warning
43、message explains to disconnect the outputs of the console to any powered audio system. During the programming process some hazardous noises could be generated by the DSP board, this could be dangerous for your ears and the speakers 3 If the communication between the PC and the audio racks module is
44、impossible, the following message will appear. Please check the Audio rack powering, the Jeager cable connection etc 4- If everything is fine regarding the system and communication you should see the following screen.
