Ssl duende magesy manual#
There was little indication in the manual that Duende needed to be first or have its own dedicated Firewire buss, but perhaps this should have been obvious.

But when the problem returned, two reinstallations failed to cure it, and it turned out that chaining the box after a DVD writer on the Firewire buss was causing bandwidth choking.

I suffered stuttering audio problems that SSL initially ascribed to buffer problems, and a reinstallation seemed to cure it. Installation is straightforward and quick. Included with the unit are Channel Strip and Bus Compressor plugins, optional add-ons currently comprise Drumstrip and X-EQ which demo for a short time unless purchased. These are Audio Unit and VST as standard, the latter wrapped into RTAS versions using a second installer. Accompanying the unit in the elegantly packaged box is software which installs the accompanying plugins onto your computer. The box is very light, and apart from the DC connector, the rear simply provides a pair of Firewire 400 connectors (which normally makes the PSU redundant). Despite the manual talking of squeezing the processing into a 1U rack, there is mostly air inside: this could easily have fitted into a rather smaller package, but the smart 19” format means that most studios can screw it into the bottom of a rack and impress clients. Duende is a Spanish word – “A mysterious power that all may feel and no philosophy can explain.” But I’m going to try anyway… Duende comes as a 1U rackmount box which houses a board with 40-bit floating point DSP processing engine chips.
