3. Installation
In order to run the SSL Soundscape Mixer software you need:
- The drivers, SSL Soundscape Mixer software, and any plug-ins you own a password for. Please
always use the latest software, downloadable from our website.
- One or more SSL Soundscape Mixpander cards.
Minimum system requirements
The minimum specifications for running the SSL Soundscape Mixer software are as follows:
• A PC running Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
• One free full length PCI expansion slot (one per card if you plan to use multiple cards).
• One free IRQ, or one IRQ that can be shared (one per card if you plan to use multiple
cards).
• Mouse, track ball, or tablet and pen.
• SVGA color monitor 800x600 resolution and 16bit graphics.
NOTE: The SSL Soundscape Mixer software requires a correct installation of Windows on the host
PC. Try some of the sample programs that come with Windows. If you experience any problems, try
to sort these out through Microsoft Technical Support before installing the SSL Soundscape Device
Driver and SSL Soundscape Mixer. It is much easier to deal with one problem at a time and it will
be more difficult for us to help you if you do not have a reliable Windows installation. Also, if you
are new to Windows and the PC environment, it would be useful to spend some time trying out the
Windows applications supplied, because in order to use the SSL Soundscape Mixer you will need to
be familiar with normal Windows tasks such as using the menus, selecting files and directories,
using the mouse, etc.
PC Configuration
In most cases there is no need for any special tweak to your PC configuration for Soundscape PCI
audio cards to operate effectively. However, if you encounter problems, please consider the
information in this section.
The Soundscape PCI audio cards use Motorola Farmchips for their PCI to DSP interface. They rely
on a fully compliant PCI implementation with little or no tolerance for abnormal PCI
implementations.
