Arturia 2.6 manual Installation, Rtas and Htdm standards, TDM System Rtas and Htdm

10.5PRO TOOLS™ (RTAS)

10.5.1.1Installation

During the initial installation, select Install as a RTAS/HTDM plug-in.

Then, when you are asked, indicate the folder in which the other RTAS and HTDM plug-ins are placed. Generally the path is:

￿Mac OS X: Library\Application Support\DigiDesign\Plug-Ins

￿Windows: C:\Program Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins

If your system can or cannot use the HTDM plug-ins or not (see the next section), the installation is the same.

10.5.1.2The RTAS and HTDM standards

The Moog Modular V can run with the audio Digidesign Audio Engine (DAE) in two ways:

￿As a RTAS plug-in (Real Time Audio Suite): all of the Pro Tools systems are compatible

with this standard: the audio treatment is realized entirely by the central unit, and does not require any specific extension card (TDM system type). On the TDM systems, the RTAS plug-ins can only be loaded on an audio track before the TDM plug-ins. They can only be loaded on an Aux Input or a Master Fader.

￿As a HTDM plug-in (Host Time Division Multiplexing):only the TDM systems (with at least one extension card) under Mac OS Classic and X can use these plug-ins (refer to Digidesign for the future HTDM compatibility with Windows). The latter work exactly like TDM plug-ins (no limitations in the insertion positions, etc…), with the difference that in this case, the heart of the treatment is realized by the central unit, and not by the extension cards. The advantage of this standard is the subtlety of TDM, and this, loading at least the DSP of the cards.

Recap on the compatibilities:

	Mac OS X	2000/XP/Vista
TDM System	RTAS and HTDM	RTAS
	(stereo in/stereo out)	(stereo in/stereo out)
Other Systems	RTAS (mono in/stereo out and	RTAS (mono in/stereo out and
(Pro Tools LE, Free)	stereo in/stereo out)	stereo in/stereo out)

10.5.1.3Insert instrument track

Access to the Moog Modular V plug-in is done like any other plug-in, through for example an audio track insert. To create a new instrument track, click on Track > New track > Instrument track (please set it up as a stereo track) as below:

Add a track

Once this is done you will need to insert the Moog Modular as an Insert, so to do it click on Window > Mix View, the window shows the empty instrument track with its Inserts field.
