Hardware and software installation overview 

 
For an easy installation please follow these steps in the order indicated: 
 

1.  Make sure you have the SSL Soundscape Mixpander Installation CD ready. Windows will 

require the CD to find the Soundscape Device Driver files during installation. The SSL 
Soundscape Mixer software, plug-in installers and plug-in demo are also included on the 
CD.  The  most  up  to  date  versions  of  all  these files can always be downloaded from our 
website, but using the CD is the easiest way to proceed for a first installation. 

 

2.  Shut down the computer and physically install the Mixpander. Connect the Alpha-Link 

unit to the Mixpander via the Expansion ports. 

 
3.  Start the computer and install the driver when prompted. 

 

4.  Install the SSL Soundscape Mixer software and any Soundscape format DSP-powered plug-

ins you own a password for and shut down the computer. (Plug-ins can also be installed at 
any time later). You can also install plug-in demos at this point. 

 

5.  Switch on the XLogic Alpha-Link unit and restart the computer. The SSL Soundscape Mixer 

software will start automatically and Windows will request the WDM/KS drivers. Install 
them when prompted.
