E-MU VST E-Wire

To Setup and use E-Wire:

Setup PatchMix DSP

1.Open PatchMix DSP application.

2.Insert an ASIO Input mixer strip into PatchMix DSP. (Alternately, you can select “New Session”, select “E-Wire Example” and skip to step 6.)

3.Mute the strip or turn the Fader all the way down.

4.Insert an ASIO Send plug-in into one of the inserts on your ASIO strip.

5.Name your ASIO strip as an E-Wire strip.

6.Insert the desired PatchMix DSP effects into slots above the ASIO Send.

7.Save the Session.

Setup Cubase

8.Launch Cubase.

9.Instantiate E-Wire in an Insert or Aux Send location within Cubase.

10.Edit the E-Wire plug-in and activate the plug-in by pressing the blue button.

11.Set the ASIO Send and Return on the E-Wire plug-in to match the strip you set up for E-Wire.

12.Done.

E-Delay Compensation

An E-Delay Compensator must be inserted into any other audio tracks that are not using E-Wire in order to keep them time-aligned.

13.Simply insert an E-Delay Compensator plug-in into the same insert location you used for E-Wire on any other audio tracks. That’s it.

E-Delay Compensator

As audio is transferred back and forth between the VST host application and the E-MU sound hardware, a delay in the audio stream is incurred. Normally this delay is compen- sated for automatically by the host application, but not all VST host applications support this automatic compensation.

A host will support PowerFX and E-Wire’s plug-in delay compensation if it supports the SetInitialDelay feature of the VST 2.0 specification.
