Overview

E-MU Digital Audio System

PatchMix DSP comes complete with a host of great core DSP effects including 
Compressors, Delays, Choruses, Flangers and Reverb. Each 32-bit effect has various 
parameters for editing, as well as factory presets. You can also create and save as many of 
your own effect presets as you wish.

Since the effects are implemented in hardware, they don’t place any load on your host 
computer. This allows your valuable CPU cycles to be used for other applications or 
software plug-ins. The effects are only available at the 44.1 and 48kHz sample rates.

Saving a session 

“defragments” the effect/
DSP resources. If you 
have used all your effects 
and need another, try 
saving the session.

There is a finite limit to how many effects you can use at the same time. As you use up 
the PatchMix DSP resources, certain effects will appear “grayed out” and cannot be 
added to the mixer. Complex effects such as reverb use more DSP resources than say, a 
1-Band EQ. If you continue to add effects, all of the DSP resources will eventually be 
used up.

Click the FX button on the toolbar to bring up the Effects Palette. The Effects Palette 
contains two types of folders. The “Core Effects” folder contains the effect algorithms 
themselves. This folder cannot be modified. The other folders contain “Effects Chains”, 
consisting of two or more effects grouped together. You can also add, delete, or modify 
Effects Chains and the folders that contain them. For more information on Effects 
Chains, see
