DRIVE MODULES
The iK42/iK81 Series processor has a new way of ordering and grouping channels in order to give
a more speaker-based approach to controlling, designing and recalling speaker configurations;
these are called Drive Modules. A Drive Module is the Processing provided by one Input DSP
Block, and a number of Output DSP Blocks, which are associated with one-another by means
of routing. For example, if Input DSP Block B is routed to Outputs 3 and 4, then this is a 2-way
Drive Module with Input DSP Block B forming the ‘Master’ control, and Output DSP Blocks 3
and 4 providing the driver-related control. Overall, this forms the processing typically for one
loudspeaker sub-system. The Vu-Net Drive Module control panel for this sub-system may then
be used for control and monitoring of the associated speaker.
Drive Modules may be included in Module Groups, which use the Parameter Overlay feature in
the Device to achieve trouble-free Grouping in the Vu-Net application.
The Presets in the Device are Drive-Module centric, and are used to configure individual Drive
Modules rather than the whole device.
Importantly, Drive Modules move the focus away from the processing device, and onto the
loudspeaker systems.
A Drive Module Preset may be broken apart into Components, allowing any output to be used
for any component within a Drive Module Preset (i.e., any driver in a loudspeaker subsystem).
OVERLAYS
When the Device is used in Modules view in Vu-Net, it allows the modules to be grouped into
Overlay Groups. These groups allow various Input (master) parameters to be adjusted in all
modules in that group, whist maintaining independent parameter values across each group.
This is achieved in the device by combining the parameters for all the layers for a given section
(Gain Delay, EQ etc.). When an Overlay parameter is active, the Overlay indicator will become
illuminated. The combined Gain or Delay etc. associated with a given section is shown on
the module panel in Vu-Net, within square brackets “[ ]” under the Delay and Gain for each
input channel. The combined EQ curve is shown in an olive colour. The Input Mute button in
Vu-Net will flash if an overlay mute is active. On the device, the presence of an active overlay is
generally indicated by square brackets “[ ]” after the parameter value on the display. An input
overlay mute is indicated on the mute/clip indicator for that channel flashing. Note that overlay
parameters cannot be adjusted on the Device itself; these can only be controlled by the Vu-Net
application. However, overlay parameters may be removed on the device – see Overlay Flush.
Note that overlays are not stored in presets or snapshots or carried in settings files.
