More about configurations
The effect of changes made in the user interface falls into two categories:
The plugin is online
The user interface is “live” –
that is, any changes made to the audio processing parameters in
the user interface are downloaded immediately to the DDRC-88D. The effect of these changes
will thus be audible as the changes are made.
The plugin is offline
Changes made to the audio processing parameters in the plugin user interface will be made
locally only. The next time the plugin goes online, these parameters will be downloaded to the
processor (as long as the
Synchronize Config
button is selected).
The configuration contained in the miniDSP hardware unit cannot be uploaded back to the
computer. Therefore, you
must
save your configuration to a file if you wish to recover from any
changes you make while offline.
8.4.3
Selecting a configuration
The current configuration is selected by one of the four buttons in the Configuration Selection area. By default,
configuration 1 is selected:
To switch to a different configuration, click on a different button. There are two cases:
The plugin is online
Audio processing will switch to the parameters of the selected configuration. If, however,
parameters of the selected configuration have been changed since the last time that
configuration was synchronized, then a dialog will appear asking you if you want to synchronize.
The plugin is offline
The user interface will update to show the parameters of the newly selected configuration. If
this configuration is changed in the user interface, it will be downloaded to the processor the
next time it is synchronized.
We recommend that all configurations be selected and checked/initialized prior to passing audio
through the DDRC-88D, to ensure that audio processing parameters are in a known state.
8.4.4
Saving and loading configurations
Configurations can be saved to and loaded from files. Each configuration is stored in a separate file. It is strongly
recommended that each configuration that you program into the DDRC-88BM be saved to a file, to ensure that
the data is not lost if the DDRC-88D is inadvertently reset. A configuration file stores all of the DDRC-88BM audio
processing parameters except for the master volume setting.
