APPLICATIONS AND CONTROLLER FOR THE RSS-10
The RSS-10 is a component that can create a three-dimensional sound field. To make the best use of the RSS-10, it is supplied
with two software applications (RSS-Stage and RSS-FX), and a template that is provided for using the optional Multi
Controller MCR-8.
Using the supplied RSS-Stage application, you can control up to sixteen RSS-1 Os at the same time.
This enables multitrack binaural mixing, with the localized sound images of up to 32 channels on
an assumed stage. We believe that it provides new possibilities for recording engineers who have
been dissatisfied with conventional types controlled by volume or pan. It is also possible to convert
binaural signals to stereo signals using the RSS-10.
Another application, RSS-FX, allows you to use up to four RSS-1 Os and control the movement of
the four MIDI sound modules in real-time. For example, it can faithfully reproduce the take-off
sound of a jet plane, or the sound of a mosquito flying around. It should prove to be a great help
for sound effects specialists who have had difficulties finding the most appropriate effect sound from
a library, and have been dissatisfied with the quality.
The RSS-10 contains demonstration data which makes use of the effects of the RSS system. There
are 99 different demonstrations. Interesting special effects sounds can easily be created using these
demonstrations , or together with another MIDI device.
Using the optional Multi Controller MCR-8, almost all the functions featured in the RSS-10 can be
controlled without using a computer. The movement window of a sound source, however, cannot
be programmed.
To make a program that controls the RSS-10 from a computer via serial ports, you need to purchase
the RSS-10 Programmers Kit.
