Creating Designs with
SoundStructure Studio
SoundStructure Studio is the software environment for creating, managing,
and documenting SoundStructure designs. SoundStructure Studio
communicates with SoundStructure devices over a communication link
(RS-232 or Ethernet) using the SoundStructure API commands. For
information on the SoundStructure command protocol, see Appendix A -
SoundStructure Command Protocol Reference Guide.
A SoundStructure configuration file is a binary file that includes the definition
of the virtual channels, the virtual channel groups, the appropriate input and
output gain settings, echo cancellation settings, equalization, matrix routings,
and more. This file may be uploaded to SoundStructure devices or stored on
the local PC for later upload.
By default, SoundStructure products do not have predefined virtual channels
or a predefined matrix routing and therefore must be configured before the
SoundStructure products can be used in audio applications. The
SoundStructure Studio software with integrated InstantDesigner™ is used to
create a design and to upload that design to one or more SoundStructure
devices.
The details of creating a new SoundStructure Studio design file are described
in this chapter. For information on how to customize a design file, see Chapter
5 - Customizing SoundStructure Designs and for information on how to use
the specific user interface controls with SoundStructure Studio, see Chapter 12
- Using SoundStructure Studio Controls.
To create a new SoundStructure Studio project, follow these steps:
• Launch SoundStructure Studio and select New Project from the file menu
• Follow the on-screen steps to specify the input signals
SoundStructure devices are shipped without a default configuration and must be
configured with the SoundStructure Studio software.
