The Comprehensive Input / Output Scheme
All right, the word
"comprehensive"
has been used a
bit much in this
manual so far, but
it’s appropriate!
The various
inputs, outputs,
and DSPs can be
connected in just
about any way you
can think of!
The Eventide
H8000FW series
can have a large
number of inputs and outputs, allowing a huge range of connection possibilities. The
illustrations shown in this section are derived from the Routing utility, which runs on any
PC running Windows 95 or above and may be downloaded from the Eventide Web Site,
www.eventide.com
The core of the H8000FW consists of two separate effects processors or machines,
shown above as
DSP A
and
DSP B
. Each of these has eight inputs and eight outputs.
Also shown are two “terminal blocks”,
MAIN Inputs
(shown above as
Main in
) and
MAIN Outputs
(shown above as
Main out
), which are used to connect to them from
the outside world. Each block shown above has inputs on its left side and outputs on its
right.
The
MAIN Inputs
block is where all the external analog and digital inputs are connected.
See
Configuring the Main Inputs
Each
DSP
may be fed from any output from either
DSP
or from the
MAIN Inputs
block. In the interest of avoiding annoying feedback, you will not normally connect a
DSP’
s input to one of its own outputs, but if you really want to, you can …
