Tiptop Z-DSP - Manual (Page 5)

Getting Started.
The Z-DSP itself contains no programs, it loads
programs from a cartridge. If the module is powered
up without a cartridge inserted it will show
“insert cartridge” on the display
The module is sold with the Dragonfly Delay cartridge,
which contains 8 delay programs. Pull it out of the
bag now and insert it slowly to the card slot on the
front of the Z-DSP, making sure that the Dragonfly
print is facing upward. Note: Inserting the card upside
down will not cause any damage, but the card will not
work.
After a moment, the Z-DSP will load the program found
in memory slot 1 on the cartridge. Some cartridges will
display a message when first inserted. For example, the
Dragonfly Delay will first show the name and author of
the algorithms, then show a reminder that audio needs
to be connected to both inputs to achieve a stereo
effect. Note: A Tiptop Stack Cable is ideal for bridging
inputs!
The cards can be inserted and removed at any time,
even during audio processing. Pulling the card out at
this point will keep the current program loaded and the
display will again show "insert cartridge". Now that we
have a program loaded into the processor, let’s have a
look at the Z-DSP signal flow.
