7. Multi-Out and Single-Out Versions
EVE 2 comes with 2 .dll files - the standard ‘single-out’ version which has a
stereo output, and a ‘multi-out’ version with five stereo outputs.
Let's recall that internally we have 5 sound sources:
Layer ‘A’ out - stereo by pan control
Layer ‘B’ out - stereo by pan control
Layer ‘C’ out - stereo by pan control
MODULATOR out - stereo
ECHO Out - stereo
For the EVE 2 ‘single-out’ version, one stereo channel of your VST host’s mixer
will be used, as all 5 sources are added internally in EVE and sent to the host as
a single stereo output. Levels and balance in the ‘single-out’ version is set
internally through the following EVE controls:
The 3 volume sliders in the EVE Mixer for A, B and C levels
‘Out Gain’ knob for the MODULATOR levels
‘VolL’ and ‘VolR’ knobs for the ECHO levels
For the ‘multi-out’ version five stereo channels of you VST host mixer will be
used: the 5 sources are NOT added internally in EVE. The volume level controls
for the layers and effects in ‘single out’ version still apply, but you can take
advantage of each one having its own separate output in your host.
The ‘multi-out’ version allows a better handling of multi-timbral patches, where
you use EVE to play different instruments by different MIDI channels or when you
would like the flexibility to put different external effects on one or more layers.
The ‘multi out’ version also includes and extra button in the ‘Master Controls’
section to quickly switch to ‘single-out’ mode, however the five stereo mixer
channels in your host will still be enabled, and EVE will simply output through the
first stereo output. By only using the ‘single out’ version of EVE, you can
completely free the Host mixer from the extra four channels, but this is less of a
problem in hosts which have modular routing options, such as Tracktion or
energyXT than it is in Cubase or Logic, for instance. For more information, check
your host’s manual.
