Unleash the DSP
Every ULN-2 is based on the 2d processing card and may be purchased with an optional +DSP license. The
+DSP can be added by the user at any time; if you purchased a unit with the +DSP license, it is preinstalled
in the hardware and ready to go. This gives you powerful processing in the box, and the ability to work with
processing and monitoring whose latency is equivalent to the converter overhead.
There are two ways to access the DSP:
• You can insert processes directly in the mixer strip inserts; this works well for standalone processes like
eq, compressors, etc.
• Insert a graph. +DSP ONLY This lets you chain plugins together, use them in parallel, and create con-
figurations that would be difficult (or impossible) with other platforms.
You should definitely check out the following processes:
• MIOStrip: Gating, EQ and compression powerhouse.
• Character: The sound of different analog circuits and devices available on any input, output or bus.
Some can be subtle, so stack them across an entire mix. Try SoftSat on your main bus; you'll like it.
• Haloverb: Great sounding reverb, doesn't use any CPU from your host. What's not to love?
This should get you started with the ULN-2!
