295 Question: Can I combine the SW1000XG with any low cost digital i/o card to give me the
elusive digital in?
Answer: Yes, if that is what you need.
296 Question: DSP Factory can apply its effects using its buss routing to previously recorded
audio tracks, therefore locking the effect to the track and freeing up the effects busses to do
other things. Can the SW1000XG do this?
Answer: Yes, using the SW1000 wave 2 input system (loopback mode).
297 Question: Do I need a specific application package to achieve this?
Answer: With the SW1000XG you don’t. It just requires any Windows multi channel audio
package and some way of sending sysex data. With the DS2416, you need specific software
support.
298 Question: Will this erase the original track (dry) from my hard disk, or go over it?
Answer: No. It will create a new track, so you can compare the two if you want.;
299 Question: The effects on the DSP Factory are quoted as being on a par with the REV500
unit or ProR3. What are the effects on the SW1000 equal to?
Answer: They are based on the same effects chip as used on the A3000 sampler. Exactly the
same as used on the Mu100R and more advanced than those on the other XG units. They are
still 24bit (as was the case with the older XG effects), but use more advanced algorithms.
300 Question: Are the effects better then?
Answer: Yes, and you have more effects types and styles as well as more busses.
301 Question: Can the SW1000XG be used as a stand-alone effects processor for my other
audio cards then?
Answer: Yes, and piped out of the digital out as well, so not only do you get a monster synth
and hard disk recording card, you also get something that will link into your
Gina/Darla/Audiowerk or whatever, and act as an effects unit with digital out...too cool!
302 Question: Can I apply insertion effects to the audio parts?
Answer: Yes, and then post process them using loopback, thus freeing them up when you are
happy with them for another track.
303 Question: Can I apply Reverb, Chorus and Variation to the audio parts?
Answer: Yes. The audio parts also feature dry level, pan and volume controls.
304 Question: When I install the PLG100VH harmoniser card, how do I know if I have the extra
effects busses, and how do they appear to my system?
Answer: The extra effects are an insertion style effect. Any demo tracks that use the VH
function (some are available via the UK website) will activate this board. The excellent XGEDIT
version 2.6 also has access to the PLG100VH board, as does XGworks via the software plug in
support app.
305 Question: The PLG100VH appears to use the same main DSP chip as the SW1000XG and
the DS2416 (the YSS228e-F / DSP3 chip). Is this true?
Answer: Yes, so in effect you are getting (when you add the PLG100VH card) almost one
third of the total processing power (reconfigured to perform other tasks on the SW1000XG) of
the 02r digital console, coupled with all of the other main features of the SW1000XG.It just gets
better all the time!
306 Question: Why does the SW1000XG appear as three separate MIDI devices in my
sequencer?
