DSP AllocationFor non MassCore systems there is a degree of user control over DSP allocation in the VS3 control panel application(Start > All Programs > Pyramix > VS3 Control Panel. To help make sensible choices this is what the DSPprocessing blocks do:Fx Out• All output buses• All VS3 plug-ins inserted on output buses,• All active Output connections.Note: All Fx Out calculations are inherently summing tasks so they need to be processedin the same card - so only one card can be used for this.MixerAll internal calculations that are carried out in the background, allowing INs to be forwarded to OUT buses. It canbe seen as internal matrix.In the Pyramix user interface, this is only reflected by the numbers of Ins routed to OUTs, no plug-ins, input stripsor output buses are calculated here.Mixer can be calculated in a single DSP or can share DSP with Fx In or with Fx Out.Fx In• All input strips• All VS3 plug-ins inserted on Input strips• All active Input connectionsFx-INs can be spread across multiple DSP cards (since no summing is required at this stage).Productivity : Optimizing Pyramix 25 - 439
