FUTURE STYLE SEPTEMBER 2001• issue 96 Motu 828 FireWire hardware (Mac OS and Windows) The MOTU 828 includes a single rack space I/O unit , a 12-foot FireWire cable to connect the 828 to your computer, software drivers for both Mac OS and Windows, and AudioDesk, a complete Macintosh audio workstation software package. AudioDesk 2408 software The software AudioDesk 2408 gives all of the latest advanced features to record, edit, mix, process and master an audio project in Power Macintosh computer. It even includes MOTU's ground-breaking PureDSP time-stretching and pitch-shifting technology and dozens of real-time, 32-bit effects plug-ins. •Motu 828• The 828 provides eight channels of balanced/unbalanced analog input and output using 24-bit converters with 105 dB dynamic range. Eight channels of 24-bit ADAT lightpipe and stereo S/PDIF I/O provide a grand total of 18 simultaneous inputs and outputs. Analog inputs one and two are designed for maximum flexibility. They use Neutrik XLR/TRS combo connectors so you can plug anything from a microphone to a guitar into the same jack. If you prefer to use condenser microphones, you can apply 48-volt phantom power. Each input provides 40dB of gain with front panel trim knobs. The 828 features an ADAT sync input jack for sample accurate audio transfers with Alesis ADATs, or any device that supports ADAT sync. A pedal input allows you to plug-in a footswitch for hands-free punch-in recording. The 828 software auto-senses pedal polarity for easy setup. A built in international power supply uses a standard IEC cable. No noisy wall warts or line lumps to keep track of. CueMix Plus - No Latency Monitoring The 828 gives the ability to select an input via software and mix it with the main outputs inside the 828 to create a no latency monitor mix. Because the mix does not have to travel back to the computer, the result is delay-less patch-thru. This mix is sent out the independent main+monitor outs and headphones. You can adjust the patch thru volume relative to the main mix with the front panel monitor level knob.  FireWire-based hard disk recording Drivers for Mac & PC - for all popular Macintosh and Windows audio software (ASIO/WDM/Wave drivers). 100% compatible with all host-based effects processing in today's popular audio programs. 24-bit analog converters. CueMix Plus zero-latency hardware patchthru system. Includes AudioDesk full-featured sample-accurate workstation software for MacOS with recording, editing, mixing, real-time 32-bit effects processing & sample-accurate sync. Sample-accurate digital transfers between ADAT digital tape decks and the computer via the ADAT sync port. Eight 24-bit analog outputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks Six 24-bit analog inputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4" TRS jacks Two 24-bit analog inputs on balanced/unbalanced 1/4"/XLR combo Neutrik connectors. Two mic pre-amps with switchable 48-volt phantom power on the front panel. 105dB dynamic range Front panel volume control over monitor input level on main outs. Front panel headphone jack with independent volume control. Front panel signal present LEDs for all analog and digital I/O. Trim controls for all inputs on front panel. Dedicated front panel clock status LEDs. 8 channels of 24-bit ADAT optical input/output. Stereo S/PDIF in/out in optical and coax formats - ADAT lightpipe and S/PDIF optical formats share the same jacks and can not be used at the same time. However, you may use ADAT lightpipe-in and optical S/PDIF-out simultaneously and the S/PDIF coax I/O and lightpipe I/O may be used simultaneously. •AudioDesk 2408• AudioDesk is a full-featured audio workstation software package for MacOS. This is not a watered-down "recording-only" version of another company's software. Instead, the 2408 software provides features like 24-bit recording and real-time, 32-bit effects processing. The software includes multi-track waveform editing, sample-accurate placement of audio, a complete virtual mixing environment with up to 64 stereo busses, automated mixing, graphic editing of mix automation, scrubbing, trimming, spotting, crossfades, support for third-party effects plug-ins (in the MOTU Audio System and Adobe Premier formats), unlimited digital track bouncing (including effects and automation), and much more. AudioDesk provides a host of real-time effects. While other systems are limited to 24-bit processing by their DSP hardware, all effects in the 2408 are processed with 32-bit, floating-point calculations in the host Macintosh; the faster your Mac, the more simultaneous effects you can use. AudioDesk's effects include up to 40 bands of parametric EQ per track, dynamics processing (expander, compressor, limiter, gate), MOTU's remarkable eVerb plug-in (includes acoustic modeling), new PreAmp-1 tube pre-amp simulator (simulates tube warmth and presence, as well as wild distortion effects), chorus, echo, flange, autopan, tremolo, and more. You can add more real time effects to AudioDesk from third party companies like DUY and Waves and also supports the Adobe Premiere plug in format. As an audio editor, AudioDesk has View and Edit digital audio tracks in a single, intuitive window. Graphically draw volume automation curves, Pan sounds left to right, Loop recordings , all as your music plays. Select only the tracks you want to see or show them all. Zoom in to work on fine details or zoom out for a wide overview. Re-size soundbites by dragging their edges. Scrub digital audio to find exact start and end points for edits. Split and trim soundbites to work with smaller regions. Strip Silence works just like a noise gate with adjustable threshold, attack & release. The crossfade feature eliminates unwanted clicks and pops. Copy and paste regions to repeat verses or sound effects. "Drag and drop" audio regions from the soundbites window to any editing window for intuitive placement. All of these operations are nondestructive so you can always revert back to your original recording. Record and insert volume and pan effects. Import material from your favorite sample CD-ROMs ..... AudioDesk's Mixing Board window gives you a virtual mixing console on your computer screen. Ride faders and knobs during playback to record automated mixes. Create snapshots of the entire mixer - or any portion of it - anywhere in your sequence with the click of a button. Save your fully automated mixdown for instant recall at any time, and then create an unlimited number of alternate mixdowns - all available from this menu for instant recall. AudioDesk's on-screen mixing board is very flexible. Each track has its own solo, mute and automation enable/disable buttons. Instantly create customized board layouts: drag track strips anywhere you like, and show or hide any combination of tracks - or mixer sections (like the inserts section) - with a mouse click. Then save and recall any number of custom Mixing Board configurations. Assign tracks to plug-ins for real-time output processing. Faders can respond to any MIDI controller such as a volume slider or pedal, modulation wheel or any data slider. AudioDesk gives control over any MMC-compatible recorders, such as the Tascam DA-88, Alesis ADAT and many others. Auto punch-in and preroll times. AudioDesk includes built in OMF integration tools which allow to export your project to a ProTools environment. OMF export does more than just copy audio data - critical information such as session offset, audio region placement, and crossfades (either rendered as audio regions or transferred as editable crossfades) is preserved. The 2408 is a cost effective alternative to add additional editing suites.

TOP..... archives index FUTURE STYLE SEPTEMBER 2001• issue 96 Kurzweil KSP 8 24 bit multi-bus signal processor The Kurzweil KSP8 multi-bus signal processor is an 8-channel effects system designed for the professional engineer, producer, or musician who requires high-performance effects, excellent sound quality, and unparalleled real-time control. It has over twice the processing power of KDFX, the effects system found in K2600 synthesizer. The KSP8 extends the arsenal of effect algorithms from KDFX, adding newly developed surround reverbs and many more stereo and mono algorithms. The architecture has enough flexibility and power to process up to 8 channels of audio simultaneously, in mono, stereo, and surround combinations. The 16 available processing units in the KSP8 may be freely shared among up to 8 effect buses. The power, flexibility, and sound of the KSP8 make it a must-have for professional and semi-pro studios, as well as for sound designers in search of exciting new timbres. The Architecture The KSP8 architecture is elegant, offering a simple, easy to understand structure. The KSP8 offers algorithms designed for mono, stereo, and surround applications, with plenty of parameters for tweaking. From these algorithms, Kurzweil engineers have crafted effect presets ranging from spacious and gorgeous, to shocking . Effect presets are easily linked together to form effect chains on up to 8 buses. Users can fully customize effect presets and chains and have all the control they want. Manipulation and automation are a snap using MIDI or a host of local modulation sources including up to 36 LFOs and 36 envelope generators, with 72 functions available for combining control sources. The highest level of the KSP8 architecture is called the studio. Studios contain all the physical connection settings, signal routing (analog and digital I/O selections), analog and digital signal levels, as well as the assigned effect presets, effect chains, effect bus assignments (including all MIDI channel and controller settings) and all multi-band equalizer settings. A studio allows you to save and recall your entire project, quickly and easily. The KSP8 offers up to 999 locations for user-created objects. SmartMedia cards are used to store your work. Signal Routing The KSP8's flexible signal routing allows inputs and outputs to be wired up freely, and signals can be bused around the system for total control. Each input signal has its own multi-band equalizer and stereo or multi-channel panner. Inputs and outputs can be routed and saved as part of the studio. Effect buses may be routed directly to the KSP8's outputs, or to internal mixdown buses for submixing. The multi-stage metering section allows for metering at 4 points in the signal path, for all 8 channels. Factory Programming The 249 DSP algorithms are used to create over 600 effect presets including lush reverbs, realistic rooms, throaty flangers, dreamy choruses, delays, ruthless distortions, aliasing and chaos generators, rotary speaker and cabinet simulators, Laserverb effects, enhancers, equalizers, a full complement of dynamics processors including multi-band and side-chain compressors, and more. Tempo-based effects such as flangers, panners, filter sweeps and delays can be synced to an internal or external MIDI clock; internal system tempo can be set with the Tap Tempo button. 5.1 Surround Audio The KSP8 includes new algorithms designed specifically for surround processing, including 5.1 surround ambience and reverb, and multi-channel compression. I/O and Synchronization The KSP8 base unit comes with 4 balanced analog inputs and outputs and AES/EBU in and out, for a total of 6 possible channels. An I/O option slot provides a choice of expansion. The KSP8 provides a 48kHz or 44.1 kHz selectable internal master clock, or can slave to an external digital clock. 24-bit precision is maintained on all channels. Interface Design The KSP8 has a handsome new design that offers an easy-to-use interface. It includes a 240 x 64 CCFL backlit display, scroll knob, data entry keypad, and dedicated buttons for navigation and actions. It's fast and easy to get to features and functions such as configuration controls, bus selection, level metering, effect bypassing and a 'Quick Pages' feature allows instant access to the most commonly needed effect parameters. Options and Upgrades Housed in a 2-space rack-mountable chassis, the KSP8 offers an expandable design with user installable I/O option cards. The KSP8 can accommodate one of several I/O options: 4 additional channels of analog I/O, or 8 channels of digital I/O, in Alesis Lightpipe, Tascam TDIF, Kurzweil KDS, or AES/EBU formats. The Alesis Lightpipe, Tascam TDIF, and Kurzweil KDS options provide word clock sync. When fully expanded, the KSP8 can process 8 separate input signals, selected from up to 14 sources. An additional hardware option slot is provided for future growth. As new technology and capabilities become available, the user can update the KSP8's operating system and ROM objects. New OS and object releases may be loaded into Flash ROM from the SmartMedia card or via MIDI. Advanced users may fully customize the ROM objects to suit their specific needs. Remote Control The optional RSP8 offers totally remote operation over all KSP8 functions. The remote offers the same display, navigation and data entry controls as the KSP8. In addition, the RSP8 adds a joystick and 8 knobs to control the KSP8 more efficiently. One RSP8 can control up to 7 KSP8s when used with HUB7, the Kurzweil optional multi-port hub.
