control. The total number of DSP cards in any combination can be nine at
the maximum. For further details about SCore Live refer to chapter 9.
System Size & Numbers The size and power of the system is defined by the number of DSP and I/O
cards installed. The total DSP power can be compared to a large bucket full
of water (Installed DSP Capacity). The contents of the large bucket can be
distributed to four small buckets (channels with fader + EQ) or to only two
medium-sized buckets (channels with fader + EQ + Dyn + Delay + VSP
PAN...).

Installed DSP capacity
So, the number of available channels depends on two things:
• Total installed capacity (1...9 DSP cards)
• Load required by each of the channel types and their quantity.
To complicate matters, the total number of channels also depends on the
number of summing buses and the number of physical I/O interfaces. To
illustrate this, we can look at 3 different ways to use the same installed DSP
power.
