To Use the Limiter
1. Press the Enable button, illuminating the button.
2. Set the Release knob to about 30% to start. Release controls how fast the limiter
turns the volume back up after reducing it to avoid the clipping peaks.
3. Increase the release time if you hear obvious volume changes (pumping). Reduce
the release time for percussive playing.
Aux Outputs
These three output assignments assign the Aux Routings selected in the Voices or
Presets to pairs of ASIO channels or to DirectSound. Every Voice (page 33) has three
effects sends with programmable amounts as well as a wet/dry mix to the Preset FX
section. The three effect sends from all voices and Presets are summed into the three
Aux Outputs where they are assigned to an ASIO pair. The Aux ASIO streams can be
routed to the PatchMix DSP mixer or to other software devices running on your
computer.
Emulator X Aux Bus Routing
Emulator Sessions in PatchMix DSP
The Emulator X factory banks have been designed to be used with special Sessions in
the E-MU Digital Audio System. These Sessions connect the Aux Outputs to PatchMix
DSP mixer input strips containing PatchMix DSP hardware effects.
If a factory bank has the Aux Outputs set as shown in the diagram above, it is designed
to use the PatchMix hardware effects. If all the Aux Outputs are set to EX Main it most
likely uses the built-in software effects. You can easily add PatchMix DSP hardware
effects to a bank that uses Emulator X software effects by simply switching an Aux bus
to a PatchMix strip with effects. See “Block Diagram of the Effects Routing” on
page 212.
IMPORTANT
The act of creating PatchMix DSP ASIO mixer strips makes them available for
Emulator X or any other application. You must create the ASIO mixer strips
before Emulator X or any other application will see them.
