In this example we show how Digital Konnekt x32 and the Integrator plug-in allow integration of external digital effect devices with your DAW via Firewire.

Connections:

•Reverb 4000 is connected via SPDIF coax 1/2 on Digital Konnekt x32

•Finalizer 96K is connected via ADAT I/O

•FireworX is connected via AES 5/6

•The C400XL is connected via AES 7/8

•A non TC Electronic related product with SPDIF option is connected via SPDIF coax 3/4

•Digital Konnekt x32 is connected to your computer via Firewire

The example above illustrates how several

different digital formats can be used at the same time. We could just as well have connected the the Reverb4000 and the Finalizer 96k using AES or SPDIF.

Objects:

-Reverb 4000 is an excellent reverb and we intend to use this as a send effect in our DAW.

-The FireworX has an excellent vocoder preset and we want to use this preset an insert effect on a mono channel.

-Finalizer 96k is a top quality multiband compressor for mastering and we want to use this as an insert effect on a master output bus.

-C400XL is a stereo compressor and should be inserted on a track, a group track or on a bus.

-We leave it up to you to suggest how the “non-TC product” should be used

Please refer to the reference manual for you DAW to learn about setting up insert and send effects.
