Summary

This chapter has been specifically designed to help you understand the basic concept of the Digital 8•Bus architecture. The following two chapters describe the physical surface controls and the software features and capabilities. The last chapter describes specific applications as they pertain to unique recording tasks and needs.

Chapters 2 and 3 support what you’ll encounter in Chapter 4. Feel free to jump ahead, but keep in mind that you’ll probably need to use these second two chapters as a reference for the terms and controls that are new to you.
