+DSP : SHARC Generations
Before the 2d Enhanced MIO, MH was using the ADSP-21065L SHARC. When they designed the 2d card, they chose the ADSP-21364 family that is 5x faster and runs compatible code.

+DSP Notch Filter EQ
The parametric EQs in MIOStrip can be narrowed to 1/10 octave, and the MIO EQ (included in the +DSP package) goes as narrow as 1/100 octave. However there is a mathematical difference between a real notch filter and a very narrow and deep parametric cut filter. To create a true notch instead of a deep…
Multi-mono +DSP vs Multi-channel
When inserting a mono +DSP effect on a stereo (or multi-channel bus), the single set of GUI controls will control a instance of that effect on every channel of audio in the bus. ex. a mono EQ inserted on a quad channel, will result in 4 identical EQ’s all mirroring the settings for each channel…
Divide – Math block +DSP
all you get from divide is attenuation, like a -9.5 dB pad for x/3. Brian Willoughby Sound Consulting
+DSP RMS Side-chain control
BJ and Kurt comment on how to create a RMS averaged signal for side-chain dynamics purposes. (among others) ________[How]________ If you multiply a signal by itself, using MIO Channel Multiplier, you get the “Square”. If you put that result through a lowpass, you get a kind of “Mean Square” (an exponential moving average). If you…
Non-Linear Map
The 4th Order Non-linear Map basic Graph Building block is useful for adding second, third, or fourth order harmonics, (among other uses) Brian has created a stand-alone app to help visualize the transfer function of this powerful graph block. Helping to choose the correct values (-4 to +4) to create the appropriate curve response. For…
+DSP Save Directory
————[+DSP Save Location]————- +DSP Presets are saved into your Users Preferences folder. ~/Library/Preferences/MIOPlugInPresets/Graphs/yourcustomfolder
+DSP Latency
————–[+DSP Latency]————- All +DSP and routing is programmed on a SHARC DSP chip. The routing from the master (routing) DSP to secondary (graph) DSP on legacy boxes is the source of the constant 16 samples of latency through the +DSP processing. The 16 samples is only for the legacy +DSP graph and it is from…
2D Character Guesses?
————–[2D Character]————– All 2D Characters are based on the resposnse from realworld devices. (EQs, comps , summing chains, etc…) None are meant as exact replications, rather are programmed to exhibit similar colorations and harmonic distortions as the vintage/original system. Full graphs are located on the right. These are some ?guesses? at matching the Character to…
MIO EQ
————–[MIO EQ]————– The MIO EQ plugs provide 12 dB/octave slopes. The only way to change it is to stack filters (then you can do 24 dB/oct or 36 dB/oct or 48 dB/oct). The EQ does not introduce any latency (just minimum phase shift from the minimum phase IIR filters).
XYtri Multi-Channel Speakers
————–[MIO XYtri 7.1 / 5.1 / quad / stereo processing]————– XY-tri is a method of stereophonic recording created by Andrew Levine utilizing 3x pairs of 45 degree X/Y pairs. It is able to be upmixed to discreet 7.1, and downmixed to any combination of 5.1, 5.0, quad, LCR, stereo, or mono. The MIO +DSP is…
MH ChannelStrip VS MIOStrip
————–[Channel Strip VS MIO Strip]————– The EQ and Gate in MIOStrip are very similar to the EQ and Gate in ChannelStrip. The Compressor, however, is a completely different beast than the compressor in ChannelStrip. While it is capable of generating the sounds that the ChannelStrip compressor was capable of (the overblown huge drum buss sound…
2D +DSP Meter
————–[2D +DSP Meter]————– The DSP meter in the Box Info Pane is sort of an oversight for legacy boxes. What it is showing on legacy boxes is the DSP load of the primary transport and mix engine DSP. You have no control over that number — it is a characteristic of the Firmware and the…
+DSP Delay Calculator
————–[+DSP delay calculator & phase]————– All delay is set per sample in the MIO +DSP system. This worksheet will convert from seconds/miliseconds/ waveform length /phase/ and temperature, and give the corresponding delay in samples for 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, and 192k.
Legacy +DSP: PI Window
————–[Legacy +DSP ‘ Enable PI Window’]————– If the ‘enable PI window’ is enabled, single-clicking on a module in the graph will cause the shared Plug-in UI window to switch to showing that module’s UI. You can use this as an inspector. ” Sometimes when I double-click on a DSP module, only the menu bar of…
