DSP Palette

How to Access

Click the Processing tab to open the Processing Workspace.
On the far left, click the DSP tab to open the DSP Palette:

Purpose

Displays a palette of DSP processing blocks available for use in your Processing Map. Block categories included are Dynamics, Filters, Miscellaneous (Level, Delay, Meter, Pink Noise, Sine Wave), Mixers, Paging/Room Combine, Conferencing and Selectors.

Add a DSP processing block by clicking, dragging, and dropping it onto the Processing Map, where you can then configure it and wire it into your system as appropriate.
Some blocks have variable node counts. If the Shift key is held down when the block is dropped in the Processing Workspace a dialog will open for specifying the total number of input and/or output nodes for the new block.

If you want to add the same block to the Processing Workspace multiple times you can hold down the corresponding number key to have the blocks added with a single drag operation. For example, to add three Compressor blocks, drag the compressor block from the palette, hold down the number 3 key and drop the block on the workspace. Three compressor blocks will be added to the workspace.
Also, the Shift and Number key shortcuts described above can be used at the same time. If you were to drag off a Matrix Mixer block and press the Shift and 4 Keys at the time of the drop a dialog would open letting you specify the number of inputs and outputs. After clicking the OK button 4 matrix mixers of the specified size will be added to the Processing Workspace.
