Unleash the DSP
The ULN-8 is based on the 3d processing engine and includes a very powerful arsenal of high-precision
audio processing tools. All plug-ins and processors work in any channel configuration and include full
parameter save and recall with lots of factory presets to get you started.
There are two ways to access the DSP:
• You can insert processes directly in the mixer strip inserts; this works well for standalone processes
like eq, compressors, etc.
• Insert a
. This lets you chain plugins together, use them in parallel, and create custom proces-
sors with routing configurations that would be very difficult (or impossible) with other platforms.
Graphs are also available in the Monitor Controller and Cue Controller signal path. High-precision
room EQ/acoustic correction, custom crossovers and bass management with none of the expense,
inconvenience or limitations imposed by running such processes in outboard gear or a DAW monitor
bus.
You should definitely check out the following processes:
• MIOStrip: Gating, EQ and compression powerhouse. Very clean, very transparent - put it up against
any precision digital mastering hardware and be just a little stunned. Mix it with some Character for
a tracking console vibe.
• Character and MHCharacter: The sound of different analog circuits and devices available on any
input, output or bus. Both have manual and automatic drive and gain. Character is something of a
late 80‘s/90‘s animal with an extra lo-fi bite. MHCharacter is geared more towards higher precision,
warmth and detail enhancement.
• Haloverb: Great sounding reverb, doesn't use any CPU from your host. What‘s not to love?
• Transient Control: Super fast, super clean initial strike control.
