Special Information About Saving DSP-4 Configurations (continued)
Answering YES will open the Browse window. Once a configuration is selected, it is displayed on the screen, but not applied to the
DSP-4. Answering NO will merely display a blank workspace to the screen with no configuration loaded. At this point, what is dis-
played is NOT what is currently running in the DSP-4 memory.
When the proper configuration file is displayed on the screen, go to the Configuration->Edit menu (Ctrl-E), followed by an Apply to DSP
command (Ctrl-D). This will download the currently displayed configuration back into the DSP-4 (overwriting itself), allowing synchroni-
zation of what is displayed with what is running in the DSP-4. At this point, you may adjust parameters or modify settings as usual.
Overall Notes and Warnings
• The last applied configuration that is “running” in the DSP-4 when it is turned off becomes the active configuration
once the power is reapplied on to the DSP-4. This ensures that the system “comes up” just as it was left the last time
it was powered down.
• Do not run your amplifier “wide open” (maximum gain) while making real-time adjustments to the DSP-4’s setup.
The nature of the communication path between the PC and DSP-4 is inherently more complex than direct physical
controls of an equivalent analog processing device. Unpredictable results may occur due to failure of the PC or the
communications channel. Under such circumstances, damage to your speakers is possible if the amplifier gain is
set for high power levels. Use the minimum useful gain settings while making system adjustments.
