Signal Processing
To apply signal processing you can either insert one of 16
internal “floating” DSP paths, or route the mix bus to a physical
output. Every output of a UM8-PO card provides output
processing (Compressor, Gate, 8-band Parametric EQ, 31-
band Graphic EQ and Delay).
Note that there is an important difference between inserting a
floating DSP path, and using a processed output. Inserted
processing will be applied to everything downstream of the
output channel, whereas processing from a UM8 output card
applies only to that physical output. This allows you to patch
say a single matrix bus to multiple outputs each with its own
delay time, graphic EQ, etc.
The following diagram shows the division between processing
on the I/O cards and processing on Eclipse’s DSP module:
