[Musikmesse] SSL Soundscape V6

It does not have MIDI sequencing or offer Virtual Instruments for creative composition, instead it offers a specialised user environment with the capacity to support several approaches to workflow.

The V6 DAW software is tied to the presence of an SSL MX4 PCIe card (or its predecessor the Mixpander); the DAW utilises the DSP power and low latencies (4 samples) of the card and its channel count fibre optic MADI I/O connectivity.

The system employs SSL’s Soundscape Hybrid Core Audio and Processing engine which uses a combination of the MX4 DSP and the host computer CPU/RAM resources with drivers that are designed to gain performance from latest generation multi-core PC Processors and Windows 7 Operating Systems (32 Bit or 64 Bit).
