1 Congratulations on your purchase of Duende – the SSL processing solution for your audio workstation. As you’re sat here reading thi s, the chances are that you have a pretty good understanding of who we are and our outstanding reputation in audio recording technology .
Windows/PC • Minimum of Intel Pentium IV 1 GHz or equivalent • 512 MB RAM ( 1Gb r ecommended ) • W indows XP Service Pack 1 or higher • 80Mb of free Hard Disk space • Approved VST or R T AS* compatible host application • One available Firewire port ( 1394A / 400Mbit ) Please visit http://solid-state-logic.
3 Software & Hardwar e Installation (PC) 1) Insert the Duende installation CD in to your CD drive 2) Navigate to your CD drive 3) Launch the Duende installer by double clicking the Duende installe.
Once your Duende hardware and software has been properly installed, Duende plug-ins are accessed and used just like any host-based plug-in. Y ou can run Duende plug-ins simultaneously with your other host based plug-ins in any combination. All Duende plug-ins support up to 40bit 96kHz operation.
5 4.1 Duende Prefer ences/Control Panel W indows XP OS X The Duende Preferences/Control Panel shows information about your Duende(s) such as serial number ( Authentication ID ), firmware version and driver version. It also displays DSP resource information and allows you to easily see how much DSP you have available at any time.
4.2 Launching a Duende plug-in Each host application has its own particular methods for instantiating ( launching ) a plug-in. Consult the host appl icat ion documen tation for specifi c instr ucti ons on loading and using plug-ins within the application.
7 4.3 DSP Resource Management Due to the Duende having 4 DSP chips, a minimal amount of resource management should be done when running Duende at high load. If there are, for example 2 slots free and you wish to load a stereo plug-in, Duende will u nder certain conditions notify you that you are out of DSP resources.
4.4 Guidelines for Plug-in Delay Compensation When Duende plug-ins are used, the audio data to be processe d by Duende is sent to the Duende DSP eng ine by the host applicatio n. The audio is then processed by the DSPs and sent back to the host application.
9 Depending on the host application implementation, the delay compensation feature may not provide automatic compensation wh en Duende plug-ins are inserted on sends, groups, or buses. In this situation, the solution is to manually compensate for the plug-ins.
Any tracks that have a smaller latency than the maximum must also be delayed but by a smaller amount ( i.e. tracks with 1 Duende plug-in wher e the maximum has 3 ). The delay value for these will be maximum latency minus the latency reported by that track.
1 1 This means that you can generally use up to 2 Duende plug-ins per channel without considering latency issues, but this will depend on t he buffer size s et in Pro T ools, the sample rate and which Duende plug-ins are loaded.
5.1 Introduction The Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is based on the EQ and compressor sections of the XL 9000 K Series console. SSL were the first manufacturer to feature dynamics and EQ on every channel on an in-line console with the SL 4000 B Series in 1977.
13 5.3 Filter Section The Filter Section includes a 12dB/Octave low pass filter and an 18dB/Octave high pass filter . The low pass filter operates from 3kHz to 22kHz and the high pass filter operates fr om 20Hz to 500Hz. In addition, each filter has an OUT position which bypasses the filter .
5.4 Equaliser Section Operation The equalizer included with the Duende EQ and Dynamics Channel Strip plug-in is a four band parametric EQ with filters. Based on the XL 9000 K Series EQ circuit, this plug-in includes two distinct EQ curves, one based on the SSL G Series EQ and another based on the latest version of SSL ’ s classic E Series EQ.
15 The plug-i n includes high and low frequency shelving equalizers ( which can be switched to peaking cu rves via the BELL button ) and two overlapping equalizers with adjustable Q. • The LF section operates over a frequency range of 40Hz to 600Hz and is capable of up to 16.
When the EQ is switched to ‘E’ operation ( by pr essing the “E” button in the GUI ), the bandwidth of the HMF and LMF sections remains constant at all gains, so at lower gains the EQ curves are comparatively narrower for a given Q setting. This is particularly useful for drums, since relatively high Q is available at low gain settings.
17 5.5 Dynamics Section The Dynamics Section comprises a compresso r/limiter and an e xpander/ga te. Both sections work independently , but can be operational at the same time, providing sophisticated control of signal levels.
Compressor/Limiter – Introduction The Channel Compressor/Limiter Section has a number of key features including a variable compression ratio from 1:1 to ∞ :1, a variable threshold from –20dB to +10dB, auto sensing attack time ( or selectable 1ms attack time ) , a nd a variable release from 0.
19 Detailed Parameter Description RANGE : Determines the depth of gating or expan sion. When tur ned fully antic loc kwi se (Range = 0), this secti on is inacti ve. When turned fully clockwise, a range of 40dB can be obtained. THRESHOLD : A V ariable hysteresis is incorporated in the threshold circuitry .
5.6 Advanced Signal Routing Options Channel Processing Order There are two switches that control the order of the signal processing elements. These are the ‘ Filters to INPUT ’ switch in the Filter Section and ‘ PRE EQ ’ in the Dynamics Section.
21 Introduction The Stereo Bus Com pressor plug-in is a stereo version of the legendary centre section stereo bus co mpr esso r f ound o n t he XL 9 000 K S erie s con sole . It p rovi des hi gh qu alit y ste reo compression, giving you critical control over the dynamic range of audio signals.
