ESB TDM and EXS24 TDM
The ESB TDM and EXS24 TDM plug-ins enhance TDM system functionality by
expanding the TDM Mixer capabilities. If working at 44.1/48 kHz, up to 32 additional
channels are available. These extra channels can be used for multiple EXS24 TDM
sampler instances, and up to eight inputs routed from DTDM—the native audio engine
which runs parallel to the DAE.
About the ESB TDM and EXS24 TDM
The ESB TDM plug-in allows you to route up to eight audio channels of the native
(computer CPU processing) DTDM Mixer into the DSP-based TDM Mixer.
This is similar to having a card equipped with a multi channel digital output installed in
the computer, and physically connected to a second multi channel input module for
your TDM system. The ESB TDM effectively replaces the audio card’s digital outputs and
driver, the TDM audio interface and the cables between them.
ESB TDM routes digital signals via software within the computer, with no need for any
additional hardware to be installed or connected.
The EXS24 TDM plug-in allows the insertion of up to 32 mono/16 stereo EXS24 mkII
samplers in the top Insert slots of aux channel strips in the TDM Mixer. Ensuing Insert
slots allow the sampler output signals to be processed with TDM effect plug-ins.
Note:
The EXS24 TDM is available as a mono or stereo plug-in, but not as a multi
output plug-in.
EXS24 TDM or ESB TDM?
If you want to process the output signals of (up to 32) EXS24 TDM samplers with TDM
effect plug-ins exclusively, please read the EXS24 TDM section directly below. Bear in
mind that if you want to use the EXS24 TDM exclusively, there is no need to activate
DTDM in addition to the DAE (unless you need to use the movie facilities of Logic Pro).
In scenarios where you want to use both Logic Pro’s native audio system (DTDM) and
your TDM system, please refer to “
” on page 11. The information found in this
section also applies to the routing of natively processed signals (from other Logic Pro
or Audio Unit instruments) into the TDM Mixer.
