About the D8B UFX Card
The UFX card provides robust processing power for computation-
heavy plug-ins. The UFX card is a 4-in/4-out architecture, which
means it can support four mono, two mono and one stereo, or
two stereo sends simultaneously. Up to four UFX cards can be
installed in the D8B, allowing up to sixteen simultaneous single-
channel effects, eight stereo plug-ins, or combinations thereof.
Note: It is recommended that you increase the D8B’s memory if you install
more than one UFX card. Memory upgrade instructions are supplied with each
card.
